The verdict
Four villas shaped like blocks of ice on the edge of Saariselkä, in the far north of Finnish Lapland. Inside it is stone, wood and leather, with three bedrooms each, a sauna, a jacuzzi, fireplaces indoors and out, and a wall of glass onto the forest. Built for a family or a group of friends waiting for the northern lights. Selected by the MICHELIN Guide, without a Key.
Families and groups who want a private house in the Arctic, with the aurora from the terrace.
You want hotel service: these are villas, and you cook or go out to eat.
Light the outdoor fire, open the jacuzzi and turn off every light inside when the forecast shows auroral activity.
