Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the breathtaking Pallastunturi scenery of Ylikyrö, Finland, this charming wooden villa offers an authentic and immersive Nordic retreat approximately 250 km north of Rovaniemi, near the tranquil Raattama village. Built in 2016, the property combines modern construction with traditional Finnish character, providing a welcoming and well-appointed base for those seeking a genuine wilderness holiday rental experience. The villa features a spacious kitchen-living room, 2 bedrooms each furnished with 2 single beds, and a bathroom equipped with a toilet and shower. Guests can stay connected throughout their stay thanks to the availability of Internet WiFi, ensuring that comfort and convenience are never compromised even in this beautifully remote setting. The property accommodates up to 4 guests and is situated away from the beach, offering instead a landscape defined by the majestic fells and unspoiled Finnish nature that characterise this remarkable region.

Outdoors

The exterior of the villa invites you to make the most of the stunning natural surroundings that define the Pallastunturi landscape. An electric grill is available for outdoor cooking, allowing you to enjoy al fresco meals in the fresh Nordic air. The property does not feature a fireplace, keeping the focus firmly on the outdoor environment and the sauna experience. A covered veranda serves as the dedicated entrance to the sauna department, providing a sheltered and atmospheric transition between the main cottage and this traditional Finnish facility. The sauna itself is equipped with a wood-burning stove and a heater tank for warming water, offering an entirely authentic experience. Please note that there is no running water in the sauna, and water must be carried from the cottage, preserving the time-honoured customs of Finnish sauna culture. The sauna department also includes a dressing room, completing this traditional and highly valued feature of the property.

Other Information

The villa operates with a clearly defined departure schedule to ensure a smooth experience for all guests. Check-out on the day of departure is required by 11 am. The sauna is a wood-heated facility accessed exclusively through the covered veranda, and its traditional setup requires guests to carry water from the main cottage, as no running water is connected directly to the sauna building. This arrangement is entirely in keeping with authentic Finnish rural traditions and adds to the distinctive character of the stay.

The villa is located near Raattama village in Ylikyrö, within the scenic Pallastunturi area of Finnish Lapland, approximately 250 km north of Rovaniemi.
