    Aivan loistava majatalo ”keskellä ei mitään” Talon emäntä toteuttaa toiveesi, antaa matkavinkkejä ja todellisen Suomi-kokemuksen. Meille tämä oli viiden tähden majoitus, luonnon rauhassa, tunnelmallisessa ja yksityisessä huoneistossa,...

    Vähän kuin kauan kadoksissa olleet kaverit olisivat vihdoin löytyneet. Välitön ilmapiiri ja rauhaa tarvittaessa. Huoneisto oli erittäin siisti. Aamupalahuone oli persoonallisesti sisustettu ja aamupala oli loistava. Hyvää kahvia 😊
