To get up close and personal with Olavinlinna Castle, this lakeside spot is the place to be:
the impressive castle looms just opposite. Offering five snug little nests in an outbuilding,
this is one of Finland's most charming hotels. All are very different but decorated with
love and style; they come with a small kitchen (yes, that's it in the cupboard) and numer-
ous personal touches.
The best has a wood sauna and Jacuzzi - a honeymoon special. Breakfast is served on
the lawn if weather allows; when the snow falls an outdoor spa bath will keep the chills
out. This is like a rural retreat but in the middle of town; warm personal service seals the
experience.
If it's full, the same people run nearby Tavis Inn

In a secluded end-of-the-road spot, but a short lakeside stroll from Olavinlinna Castle, this
annexe of Lossiranta Lodge (where you check-in) offers peace in its spacious, attractive
rooms and suites. Summer art exhibitions give it its own discrete ambience.
