Rest in the Heart of Nature
In Heinävesi, Liperi and Rääkkylä, you can stay in the communal atmosphere of a guesthouse, the tranquility of a monastery hotel, a high-quality villa, or choose your own rental cottage by the lake. Campsites and harbors also offer motorhome pitches for travelers arriving with a caravan or camper van.
Whether your choice is a hotel, guesthouse, or cottage, you are guaranteed a good night’s sleep – along with delicious breakfasts and restaurant services, depending on your accommodation. The surrounding nature, monasteries, and local events provide plenty to do. Northern Saimaa invites you to stay longer – and many visitors return again and again.
