Loved the heated bathroom floor, the view from my apartment and the cozy vibe. Completely worth the price. The owner was also quite helpful when I encountered slight trouble with the key box.

Nice location, cozy apartments, and a beautiful spot to see the northern lights. I recommend booking with a car, as it’s a 20-minute drive to Rovaniemi. However, it’s still very easy to reach Santa Claus Village from the apartment.

Rooted in Nordic traditions, the spa blends hot saunas, cold plunges, and outdoor quiet zones.
