All the hotel staff I had contact with (restaurant, reception and houseman) were not only friendly and pleasant, they also did more than they were supposed to do. For example, they explained to me how to charge my electric car. Since the sauna was fully booked, I was upgraded to a room with a small private sauna in the bathroom, when I was leaving the house janitor ran into me and had a very pleasant small talk with me, he even spoke German, that was a very pleasant conversation. The hotel is located in an idyllic area, a small lake is in front of the door, a pretty garden pavilion is on the premises. The bar was very cozy, the breakfast was especially nicely decorated and I could additionally choose one of five hot dishes (I took pancakes with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon and a delicious sauce), that was just delicious. There I would like to go again with pleasure.

Sebastian was very kind and friendly. Was very cooperative about our rather late arrival and made our short but pleasant stay very smooth. House is big, rooms are neat and not cramped. Arriving in the evening after a hard, sporty and sweaty day to be welcomed by a already heated and ready to-go floating sauna from where you could dip straight into the refreshing lake and then take a relaxing bath in the jacuzzi was superb. We were even sad that we had to leave so soon... I think the photos in the advertisement were not doing the house justice.

Family, surfboarding, swimming and lake

All I needed was there. Perfect quiet place with really reasonable pricing.

What a fantastic find ... we were in Finland for a family wedding & wanted somewhere our group could chill out afterwards & Villa Gaia couldn't gave been more perfect ... Sebastian was super responsive before & during our stay ... even when we managed to lock ourselves out! Villa Gaia is more equipped than my own home ... we were a group of 9 and had loads of space ... you couldn't ask for a better location ... the train station is a 15 min walk away ... the local supermarket is a 10 min walk away and is well-stocked. The view is amazing ... we sat out on the deck watching the wildlife & even caughtvsight if a little deer ... if you can't tell we absolutely loved our stay!

The train which arrives to Tampere goes under this Arena Hotel, and you can see it from the train station, so it is very easy to find it. It's 5 min walk. Despite of this I rarely heard the trains from my room. You have access to the Nokia Arena from the hotel too, and if you have ticket, you don’t have to go out and enter again. The receptionist told me that I can use any entrance I want to get in the hotel, but I prefered to use the one labeled with „Lapland Hotel Arena”. The receptionist and everybody were very very kind, polite and helpful. The breakfast was a bufet. It was rich (one of the richest I saw in north Europe) and you can choose whatever you want. Sweet and salty, cold and cooked, everything. There were „free from” options too, As a vegetarian I had no problem to find soooo many things to eat. The food were labeled in both English and Finnish. There were non-vegetarian food too. My favourite were the blueberry juice and that spicy baked potato. I saw several type of joghurt in a jar, but I didn’t find a small bowl for it, maybe it was for drinking. I have never had a breakfast in candel light before, but it was super super fancy. But the fanciest thing, what I liked the most was the elevator. Some rooms have sauna, but alternatively you can use the one on the 12th floor. I didn’t try them, but it’s Finnland I guess it is perfect. On the TV screen you have access to many important information about the hotel and the room, including room service, air conditioner, room sauna, everything. This was the only one hotel in north Europe I stayed, where I could open the window. I was very happy for it. In the bathroom there were soap, shampoo, body wash, everything with Skandinavian pine scent. It was a bit strong, what I didn’t like for the first time, but after I read it is a scent of pine I realized, that this is really is. There were a kettle, cups, coffee and tea bags in the room, and iron if you need it. Just can't wait to come back.

Everything perfect. I would prefer the shower next time instead the bathtup.

Second time I have stayed at this hotel and on both occasions everything has been perfect. The staff are genuinely warm and friendly and go out of their way to help visitors. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. The location is ideal - just a short walk from the city centre and all the main attractions.

Super nice and cozy! We especially enjoyed the dinner at the bistro, tasty meals with a touch of local products
