I was met by the owner Passi who was waiting for me. I had booked into one of the apartments but wes told that I was staying in one of the cottages by the lake. 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. The centre of Kitee is about 20 minutes away in a car so if like me you do not drive order a taxi through the Menava app. It cost me €87 return trip but the compromise is the absolute stunning views. I visited the Nightwish Museum in the centre of Kitee. There is a Merimekko shop and others shops which includes an S Market and a K Market. I would stay here again and nothing was too much trouble for Passi and his mom.

Loistava palvelu. Yhteydenotto positiivinen. Ongelmaratkaisu mainio. Ainut pieni miinus on ajomatka päätieltä suhteellisen pitkältä ja huonossa kunnossa olevan pikkutien varrella

Rauhallinen sijainti, mutta naapuri huoneiston liesituuletin piti kovaa ääntä.
