A hidden gem!

A hidden gem in the countryside of Koli! Authentic and personal style in this old school building converted to a hotel. Spacious rooms and common areas. Very nice and cool owners who warmly welcomed even our dog. Very good value and a special experience for our family!

Olimme bookanneet kaksi huonetta, joista toisessa majoittuisi koira. Saimmekin erillisen kaksion jossa oli oma iso keittiö ja eteinen ja oma wc (erillisissä huoneissa ei ollut) sekä erillinen sisäänkäynti talon päädyssä. Majoittuminen sujui mukavasti ja tarpeemme oli huomioitu erinomaisesti.

Ihan miljöö

Majatalon miljöö oli ihana. Sisustus ja varustelut olivat hyvät. Emäntä oli avulias. Mutta seinät ovat ohuet huoneiden välillä, ja riippuu muista asukkaista miten hiljaista on. Vaikka kuinka hiipii, narisevat vanhat lattialaudat ja sänkykin kylkeä kääntäessä. Kolille ja uimarantoihin oli n. 5-10min automatka.

Majoitus vastasi kuvausta

Oikein mukava majatalo. Kaikki tarpeellinen oli saatavilla ja luonto lähellä. Voisin mennä toistekin.
