Holiday houses in Purola

Lovely midsummer in a lovely cottage, thanks! We were surprised that the cottage was a duplex, but the family on the other side let us have some privacy and was nice anyway. Everything went smoothly.

Finnish cottage dream at its best! Right by the water, the hammocks climbs in the wind and in the direction of the evening sun. The cottage has all the amenities and very clean. The wooden sauna had a soft steam and the sandy bottom of the beach crowned the experience. And best of all, just an hour's drive to Helsinki! Thanks to the hostess!!

We had a wonderful holiday season at Larissa's island vacation home. Our 3 families felt right at home in this large, very personal house in the southern archipelago of Finland, from the shot and yet quite close to Kotka and Helsinki. From the airport it is only an hour to the jetty and from there you will soon be on the island. The cottage is wonderfully located on the southern tip of the island. There is plenty of space to linger inside (4 separate bedrooms are really exceptional) and outside, sun and wind all day. This is how the weeks are (too) fast. The kitchen is very well equipped. Even with a large chalkboard, everything is not a test, again both indoors and outdoors. The new sauna gets warm quickly. It offers a beautiful view to the sea. Larissa is a great host and so we had very nice days. I fully recommend Villa Vonkka, assuming some experience in island life.

The interior architecture and design are very well-representative of the countryside houses in Finland. There is a wonderful wood-burning sauna and two fireplaces to keep the house sufficiently warm. The kitchen has all the necessary tools and amenities for cooking. One thing to note though is that the fridge doesn’t have a freezer. The house is by a little picturesque hill with pines, birches and rocks covered in moss. On the side of the house, there’s a yard and a grilling side with a nice view to the open fields.

A personal home in the peace of the countryside, and comfortable hosts. Thanks for the opportunity to have breakfast. Definitely could stay again.

Beautiful and cozy, matched the description. We found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks a lot!

We enjoyed our stay at Samuel's cozy home and wonderful nature around:)

We had such a wonderful time at Markus’s place with our family celebrating Midsummer. Peaceful, surrounded by nature and relaxing atmosphere! Such a beautiful house with everything you might need, for cooking etc, two balconies, fireplace and sauna in the house. In addition there was different sports equipment and boardgames, which was very fun. Short walking distance to the lovely lake and outside sauna. He responded quickly, was very helpful and accommodating for us. We would definitely come back and recommend to everyone. Thank you so much!!
