“Vilja-aitta” summer room is located in the yard of Nestorinranta's main building in the Puumala archipelago at Lake Saimaa. It is a spacious family room (16 m2 + 4 m2) with a sleeping loft for three and a sofa bed for two. A beautiful causeway leads there.
The building dates from the 19th century and it was used as a granary until the 1980s. It was completely renovated in 2005 and has been used for accommodation since.
“Vilja-aitta” has its own small terrace. The room stays warm from May to September. It is equipped with a radiator, refrigerator, microwave oven and dining table.
In the middle of the courtyard you’ll find a summer kitchen, and there are also covered barbecue areas by the edge of the field and down by the shore. Toilets, showers, a laundry room, and a sauna are all located within the same courtyard.
