About us

Hello!
The weekend went even better than I had expected.
The food was excellent. Our youngest said the meatballs were the best they had ever eaten. Our teenager also praised the food spontaneously (without being asked), as did Outi. She said the steaks were the best she had ever tasted. The salmon also received many compliments. Please pass our thanks on to the kitchen!
It was wonderful that we were able to access our rooms as soon as we arrived, so we could change clothes before heading outdoors and to the sauna.
A special thank you to the hostess on Saturday, who took care of the reception, table service and heating the sauna. She provided exceptional service, looked after us wonderfully and chatted warmly with both the children and the adults. We also greatly appreciated her taking photos for us.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sauna facilities, the outdoor hot tubs and the ice swimming.
The children – and many of the adults as well – spent time sledding and playing outside with rosy cheeks. We also walked the nature trail several times. In any case, everyone enjoyed being outdoors.
With the beautiful weather on our side, we were extremely happy with the entire weekend.
The guest of honour was, and still is, very pleased.
Many thanks,
Raija

Hello,
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Wolax! Our guests from Norway were truly impressed by the venue. Everything was perfectly arranged, and the food was excellent.
Thank you!
Pirjo
We had a wonderful weekend at Villa Wolax. I actually wanted to send you a message to say how much we appreciated both the friendly service and the beautifully restored and well-maintained surroundings and buildings.
Everything was beautiful and clearly cared for with great attention to detail, and the breakfast was excellent as well. Unfortunately, this level of quality is quite rare among tourism providers in Finland. Too often, luxury simply means a high price while compromising on quality. At Villa Wolax, however, it was obvious that every detail had been thoughtfully considered, and we truly felt pampered throughout our stay.
It was absolutely wonderful! Take care,
Elina
Thank you so much! The celebration was a great success. Everyone thought the food was absolutely outstanding, and the staff were cheerful, friendly and welcoming.
Thank you!
Pekka
