We were met by a friendly mum and daughter who lives downstairs in the house and showed us to our room upstairs. They offered use of the kitchen to cook although we didn’t need this. The room had everything needed - kettle, fridge, microwave,

Upstairs there are two rooms next door to each other that’s rented out with a shared bathroom. Our initial accommodation for our last night of our holiday (sole use apartment) was cancelled quite last minute so we ended up having to pay a higher amount for this accommodation with a shared bathroom. We felt the price was quite dear for the set up.

This is a very cosy apartment to stay. The hosts are very welcoming, friendly and helpful, simply the best. They also put up a Christmas Tree and lights for our arrival, ( we were surprised) and we felt at home. Close to city centre, supermarket and the bus stop No 8 to visit Santa’s Village. They also offer airport shuttle service which we used. We recommend to arrange it if this is your first visit to Rovaniemi. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here pretty much ☺️ THANK YOU VIRPI & FAMILY

Everything was perfect 👌

Excellent stay in Rovaniemi in this family ran villa. Virpi and her family were very welcoming and lovely and also went out of their way to help our stay be perfect. Unfortunately, my mum hurt herself so our plans changed a bit but they got the room ready in advance so we could check in way earlier than their usual check in time, and arranged to pick us up as well as driving us to a few spots so we didn't have to deal with cabs as well!

Nothing that I didn't like!

We were very welcomed by the owner. We were chatting in the living room after check-in and he also offered us a sausage as a small snack made on the fireplace :-) Our room was in the first floor, was big enough with a small kitchen corner and a fridge. We were sharing a bathroom with other roommates which could be cleaner in our opinion.

The location and the place in general. The villa is within walking distance from town center , straight line you cam walk in less than 20 min. Also 2 supermarkets within 500 m or so plus the ones in town. Location also in the middle of a quiet neighbourhood, idilic natural scenary. The host mr and mrs were so nice and checking with us if we needed anything. The villa was very clean, warm despite de cold weather, cosy and confortable

Nothing

Our stay at Villa Virpi definitely exceeded our expectations. We were offered an upgrade to stay at private villa. I fully recomend it to ask the host for private villa-it might cost a little extra, but it is all worth it! There is floor heating in every single room and we loved it. The kitchen is fully equipted: hubs, oven, microwave, ground coffe maker, kettle, toaster, plates, glasses, mugs and cutlery. There are also some leftovers of honey, coffe, tea, cereals, rice and others groceries in the kitchen cabinet, if you need something. Bathroom: shower, but no bath; Be ready to buy a toilet paper, or ask your host for some. It is also a great location, still reasonable close to take a walk to the city centre. The driveway to the villa is large enough to park multiple cars. The host offers pick up from the airport, but we had rental car from the airport, which has been the easiest rental we experienced so far (FinnRent). If you arriving too late in the night and need to buy some food/hygiene products, there is 24/7shop in the city centre called Sale Lapinmaa.

Only one bedside table next to the bed I would like to have some cleaning products in the bathroom to clean the toilet or floor, when neeeded during the stay.

Villa Virpi has a comfortable location of 20 min walking distance from the city centre of Rovaniemi and Arktikum. The double room was well-lit, spacious, decorated in Scandinavian taste, and had a fridge, a kettle, a microwave, a TV and shared facilities (shower, WC) on the same level. Risto, the owner, was very supportive and caring, he offered transfers to the airport and to the city centre by car. Guests could also share the open plan kitchen downstairs. Villa Virpi gives a very cosy, relaxing feeling as a true home.

N/A

Me and my wife had an awesome experience staying at Vill Virpi. Our host Risto was very kind and left no stone unturned for our comfortable stay. We really enjoyed talking to him as he made us aware of the area and local Finnish culture/tradition. The shared kitchen and dining area are big and a grocery store is just 300 m from the property (enroute to the city center).Villa Virpi is 20 mnts walk from Rovaneimi city center and was well in our budget. We highly recommend it.

The host was very nice, very warm welcome in the middle of the night & nice to talk with. The house is within easy reach of the airport and activities by car. The house is traditional and rooms are a bit old, but that didn’t bother us at all. The path around the corner of the house is perfect for a sleighride for the kids btw.

It's beautiful cozy log cabin. Very warm even on -25'C. Great location in a very quite estate about 20min walk from city center. Just what we wanted. The owners were very quick responding to any query we had. Can't fault anything. Would highly recommend coming with family.
