VILLA ANKKURI

 

Villa Ankkuri is a beautiful log cabin nestled on the shore of Lake Saimaa in the picturesque village of Savonranta, a community of roughly 1,000 people. Savonranta is part of the Savonlinna region of Finland, an area renowned for its stunning natural scenery, including nearby Kolovesi National Park. The Finnish Lakeland’s pristine waters and breathtaking landscapes make it a popular destination for fishing and relaxation.

The villa itself is a striking structure built with large, hand-hewn logs. The living room boasts expansive windows that frame the rolling waves of Lake Saimaa. The ground floor features a living area, a kitchen and dining space, a bathroom, a utility room, and an electric sauna with a shower. A  double sofa bed is also located on this floor. Upstairs, guests will find a lounge area with a single sofa bed and two additional bedrooms. The upstairs lounge also has a 42-inch TV.

Outside, a separate summer house provides additional sleeping space with a double bed and a heating stove for chilly evenings, creating a cozy atmosphere.

Closer to the lake sits the sauna building, featuring a traditional wood-burning sauna for a truly authentic Finnish experience. Hot water for washing is heated by the sauna stove, while steam and other water needs are drawn directly from the lake. For a unique lodging experience, we also offer a traditional teepee tent.

The sauna building also includes a dressing room and a room with a double sofa bed, a 42-inch TV, and a heating stove. Just steps away is a hot tub large enough for 4-6 people. Water for the hot tub is supplied from the sauna via hose, and firewood is readily available in the woodshed next to the summer house. Please remember to fill the hot tub with water before lighting the fire to prevent damage to the heater.

A short walk from the sauna leads to a landing stage perfect for taking a refreshing dip in Lake Saimaa. The adjacent sandy beach and swimming area are also ideal for children, as the water is shallow near the shore.

For outdoor cooking, a traditional wood-fired barbecue is located near the sauna, while a gas grill is available on the main building’s terrace. Outdoor dining tables, a swing, and a dartboard complete the outdoor amenities.

At Villa Ankkuri, smoking is not allowed, and pets are welcome!
