Villa Peippo

Excellent holiday cottage which we booked for a total of 7 nights over Christmas and New Year! We had a fabulous time for both celebrations in a picturesque setting and the weather was perfect

This was the perfect place to celebrate New Year in Finland with family and friends! I could not fault the location, as it is picturesque and unique, in a forest setting. We loved Villa Peippo, and appreciated the attention to detail with Pentik glassware, bedding and beautiful photos on the walls. Our host Veli-Matti was very helpful and recommended activities. We went skiing at Ounasvaara ski resort and took part in an Aurora hunt with Wild Blueberry tours, with a successful sighting of Aurora borealis which was indeed a gift! We would highly recommend staying in Villa Peippo for a family get away.

Villa Peippo provided the perfect backdrop for our first Christmas in Finland, reminiscent of my childhood Christmases. The cottage was decorated for Christmas, and everything was perfect! We also spent a memorable New Year in Villa Peippo and were very happy with our choice to stay there. The area was picturesque with snow-laden trees, peaceful and quiet, away from the touristy areas, which was the main purpose of staying at Ounasvaara. The Ounasvaara walking trails and viewing tower were close by, and we took full advantage of this. Also went on a pleasant walk to the Arktikum museum, though took the taxi back up the hill. Having access to a hire car is advised, though we managed well enough without a car for a few days. The self-catering option was great, and the kitchen equipment is of excellent quality, with Fiskars and Pentik items throughout. The washing machine and dryer, as well as the outdoor clothes and shoe dryer, were much appreciated. The sauna was nice but could have been hotter! Sledges were provided, thought we didn't try them out this time. Host Veli-Matti is very helpful and easy to contact, with quick replies to questions. We would highly recommend Villa Peippo for a family holiday, especially in winter!

Everything was perfect

nice cozy house and all required facilities within like dryer, dish washer etc

only 1 toilet so can be difficult if there re more than 5 paxes but the small inconvenience is still worth it.
