The location in the national park is stunning, the staff were warm and welcoming, the food was excellent, and the views were simply breathtaking. Everything made for a truly memorable stay. The only small suggestion for improvement would be the scrambled eggs at breakfast. It would have been even better if they were made with fresh eggs instead of powdered eggs.

Passi took me to the cottage which has its own wood burning sauna and stunning views looking out to Lake Orivesi. It was really peaceful and it has its own private beach and a rowing boat plus a swing which I must admit I spent quite a bit of time on there.
