Lakefront Villa AINOLA, 55 km from Rovaniemi

Amazing place to stay: a beautiful house with everything you need and even more! Surrounded by nature and a beautiful view from the window. We also used our Grillikota to grill food a lot. Jari & Merja were the best hosts ever! They were so helpful to show us the northern lights. We also got the chance to cuddle their sheep! 🐑 Really a 10 out of 10! Easy to get to the Rovaniemi airport. You don’t need to drive that far to get the best Lapland experience! 👌🏼

Nothing - everything was perfect!

Merja and Jari were friendly, always available when needed, even in the midnight when we had issues with electricity, Jari was receptive and came to fix it.✅ Location was fabulous, we had amazing sunrises, quite and traditional atmosphere 😍 The kitchen was well equipped, we had all the dishes so we could cook, also outside we did fish as Jari recommended. We were not lucky with aurora, however the time spent in the villa was unforgettable. Special thanks to the hosts, they were absolutely awesome!

Un endroit paisible, nature, reposant, beau, comme nous en avons rarement connu ; une vraie et belle découverte ! Nous avons passé une semaine (22.02 - 01.03) exceptionnelle dans la villa Ainola avec tous les à-côtés : Repas au Kota, Promenades en raquettes sur le lac, Saunas extérieur et intérieur, 3 soirs d’aurores boréales d’affilés… magique ! ; avec des prestations de la maison parfaites. La maison est idéalement située entre Rovaniemi et les randonnées majeures de la région que sont Riisitunturi et Korouoma. Encore un immense merci à Jari et Merja pour leur disponibilité, leurs conseils pour observer les aurores, leur partage sur les techniques de pêche, les histoires de la maison Saariniemi et l’histoire de la Finlande. Nous avons eu des échanges passionnants. Surtout ne changez rien. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir dans quelques années découvrir ce même lieu en été. Çà doit être somptueux. 😊

This is such wonderful place, like fairytale. Beautiful forest, houses, lake, good place to see Northern Lights, fireplace for grilling. Very very good service from hosts, delicious breakfast. Can't find words how to describe our experiences in this family business. I highly recommend this amazing place.

Wunderbares Erlebnis, super sauber, an alles gedacht, super nette Gastgeber, tolle Sauna und tolle Kota.

Ein Wäscheständer wäre ggf. noch sinnvoll, wir hatten auch so genug Platz für kleinere Wäschen.

Всё!!!Очень уютный и теплый дом в котором есть все необходимое.Добрые и отзывчивые владельцы.Очень красивая природа вокруг, а вид из окна просто великолепен.Большая вероятность увидеть северное сияние.Великолепное место!

Stunning location next to a lake. Both electric and traditional sauna available. Very comfortable and beautiful accommodation, well equipped. Reindeer outside. Amazing hosts, so welcoming and kind.

Could be clearer instructions for some of the equipment.

Swietne miejsce na odpoczynek w ciszy i spokoju w otoczeniu natury. Piekne widoki na jezioro i naturalna przyrode. Wlasciciele bardzo mili i przyjazni polecam w 100 %

Everything! Merja-Leena & Jari were amazing hosts. They were very friendly and had great communication. The thoughtful touches throughout the house made us feel pampered. The house and area are beautiful. Would definitely stay there again if we returned to the area.
