Ferienhaus Mökki Santara in Karelien, Savitaipale / FI – Finland

Holiday home Mökki Santara

Far away from the hustle and bustle! This holiday home can be found in a secluded spot in the unspoiled coun­tryside of the Finnish region of Karelia: in the middle of a forest and directly by lake Santara. The pro­perty con­sists of a resi­dential house and sauna con­nected by a terrace. Thanks to their ele­vated position, both the house and sauna offer beau­tiful, wide views of the lake.

The building was mainly con­s­tructed of timber from trees that grew on the pro­perty. With its black colour, it seems to fuse with the sur­roun­dings and when the shutters are closed it has a barn-like cha­racter. In con­trast to its dark façade, the interior space is bright and fri­endly. The floor plan is open, but the bed­rooms (with a double bed and a high bed) can be sepa­rated with sliding ele­ments. The floors, walls and cei­lings are made of wood, but its mini­malist interior design lends the house a modern look and feel throughout — far from rustic!

Ein wun­der­schönes Haus in der voll­kom­menen Ruhe der Natur- besser kann man sich nicht erholen. Lie­bevoll ein­ge­richtet- es ist alles da, was man braucht. Nur zu emp­fehlen.

Sandra König sagt:

Kurz vor Mitt­sommer hatten wir einen sehr geruh­samen Urlaub im Mökki. Wir haben uns gefühlt, als hätten wir den ganzen See für uns. Die Archi­tektur ist zurück­haltend, so dass die Natur in vollen Zügen genossen werden kann. Der Auf­enthalt hat neu­gierig auf einen Urlaub im Winter gemacht, dann kann auch die super Sauna öfter genutzt werden.

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche.
Mökki hat uns super gefallen.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, super geschlafen und wirklich toll sau­niert.
Wir sind begeistert vom Sauna-Haus, ganz toll !

Der Eis­bohrer und die Angeln war toll … aber einen Fisch habe ich leider nicht gefangen :-(

Wir waren im tiefsten Winter Gäste im Mökki. Hier trifft eine traumhaft abge­legene Lage auf zau­ber­hafte Win­ter­land­schaft und her­vor­ra­gende Archi­tektur. Wir waren mit unseren Kindern sehr von dem schönen Haus und der Sauna angetan. Der per­fekte Ort zum Aus­spannen, sicher nicht nur im Winter.
