Wanha koulu’s “Onnela” Family Apartment offers unique accommodation for families with children. As a specialty, there’s the school’s gymnasium, where children have space to run around and play. While the children release energy in the hall, adults also have their own peace in the upstairs dining area. Win-win! 🙂 🙂
Several families can be accommodated, i.e. 10+6 people. Onnela has been renovated in 2020 respecting the original spirit of the old school, and in 2022 we renewed the shower facilities, toilets and kitchen.

The children’s favorite in Onnela is the school’s original 70m2 sports hall, which offers lots of playing space for children and plenty of different toys and play equipment. While the children are playing in the hall, the adults also get a moment of their own time and peace. Lasten mellestäessä salissa saavat aikuisetkin hetken omaa aikaa ja rauhaa.

The location for skiing is great. The house’s snowshoes, sleds, and kick sleds were also utilized. The gym was heavily used and sausages were grilled on the campfire site.
Nice accommodation for even a larger group. The private gym was very much to the liking of the children, as was the quiet courtyard.
