Alove of travel led the Soini family to create a dream holiday destination by the shores of Lake Tuomijärvi in Finland. A relaxing retreat in the middle of Finnish Lapland, the Soini’s rent their Arctic Villa Tuomi to guests, offering high-quality accommodation in a peaceful setting with a variety of activities to enjoy.
Eepu and Janne Soini provide an authentic Finnish Lappish villa to travellers looking to catch their breath and enjoy the silence. “They can relax in a private hot tub, watch the Northern Lights, and sleep soundly,” says Eepu. Equipment for activities like ice fishing, snowshoeing, and sledging is provided. Guests can also arrange guided trips with the Soini family, enjoy husky rides or Finland’s famed Santa Claus village, only a 15-minutes’ drive away.
“We’re proud of our homeland and way of life,” says Eepu “The villa is decorated with Finnish interior design in mind, including cutlery, dishes and luxury bedding.” There is a traditional Finnish barbeque as well where guests can make dinner and enjoy the clear night sky, uninterrupted by light pollution. The villa is perfect for families or couples, comfortably accommodating 4-5 people.

Arctic Villa Tuomi is located beside the lake in a forest, a short distance from Rovaniemi which offers winter sports arenas, shopping and restaurants, for those craving a visit to an urban area. And the distance to the Arctic Circle is about 15 minutes.
The villa’s guests are mainly from abroad. “We’ve had people from other parts of Europe, the US, and even Asia. They want a taste of the Finnish lifestyle and we provide this,” says Janne. “But mainly, we want them to enjoy themselves. At our villa, peace and quiet is guaranteed.”
