Nestled on the serene shore of Lake Vuosselijärvi, Villa Esa beckons you to immerse yourself in the beauty of Finland's natural landscapes throughout the year. This bright and modern retreat is more than just a holiday destination—it is a gateway to tranquillity and adventure.
The spacious living area seamlessly blends with a modern open-plan kitchen that caters to your culinary desires. Here, you will find all the amenities needed to cook up a feast, whether a hearty breakfast before a day of exploration or a cosy dinner enjoyed by the fireplace.
Speaking of which, the living room boasts a smart TV and Bluetooth speaker for entertainment and a comforting fireplace, perfect for warming up after a day out in the crisp Finnish air. Large windows offer breathtaking views of Lake Vuosselijärvi, ensuring that the beauty of nature is never out of sight.
Venture outside onto the expansive terrace, where the lake views continue to captivate. Relax on the comfortable sofa set or in the easy chairs, perhaps with a drink in hand, while the aroma of a summer barbecue fills the air from the gas grill. Evenings can be spent gathered around the fire pit near the sandy beach, where a fish-smoking oven stands ready for those inclined to try their hand at local culinary traditions.
For those seeking relaxation, a separate sauna building awaits. During the summer months, indulge in the warmth of the wooden sauna, followed by a refreshing dip in the lake just steps away. There is also a spacious glazed barbecue hut, ideal for cosy evenings spent grilling under the Nordic sky.
Accommodation is as inviting as the surroundings. Two comfortable bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements, with the master bedroom featuring its own access to the terrace. Additional beds are available in the living area and a technical room, ensuring ample space for family and friends.
