Kullasmarina Holiday Villas

Kullasmarina Holiday Resort consists of three semi-detached houses (built in 2009). Each of them has two luxury villas. Villas 1-4 (Niña and Pinta buildings, 88.5 square meters, 3-4 bedrooms, a kitchen and a terrace in each villa) have 10 beds and a cot. Villas 5-6 (Santa Maria, 103 square meters, 4-5 bedrooms, a kitchen and a huge terrace in each villa) have 15 beds and a cot. Also a potty and a high chair are available. There are an electric sauna, a CD player, a dishwasher, a coffeemaker, a fireplace, a DVD player, an electric oven, dish sets, a TV, a fridge, a freezer, a microwave oven and an air conditioning machine in each villa. Also a washing machine and a drying cabinet for clothes are available. Additionally a rowing boat and life jackets are included in room prices. However, the price isn't much more than in small hotel rooms. Actually our family of two adults and two teens got the villa number 6 with 5 bedrooms (one of them is a loft) cheaper than two rooms in a hotel. Bed linen and towels are not included in the price. We had to pay a deposit of 130 euros in cash and we got that back after we had cleaned the villa properly before our check-out (the final inspection was exact). There is an electric grill on the terrace. And the view from the terrace to the marina (a yacht harbor) of Padasjoki is fantastic, especially from this villa #6 which is the last one on the rock. It is about 400 meters to the marina. There you can find a restaurant, an ice cream kiosk and the ship named M/S Elbatar which cruises to the National Park of Päijänne (see separate reviews of Kelvenne Trail) in mid-summer. We visited the National Park of Päijänne with our rowing boat, too. It is only about one kilometer from the beach to Kalainsaari Island (there is a barbecue hut in the southwestern part of the island). There is one shared outdoor whirlpool (a jacuzzi) for all villas in Kullasmarina Holiday Resort. However, the use of the whirlpool is very expensive. Kullasmarina Holiday Resort owns a sandy beach, too. Unfortunately it is situated a bit too far away, about 300-400 meters from villas, down a steep slope and over a road. But the beach is sandy, shallow and very nice. Only some temporary buildings there were a bit ugly. Also a volleyball court is at disposal on the beach. There is an extremely good disc golf park next to Kullasmarina Holiday Resort. Also free Tuomastornit observation towers are situated only 400 meters from the resort (follow signs "Maisematorni"). Jogging paths (and cross-country skiing tracks in winter, also to the National Park of Päijänne over lake ice) are very good, too. We can honestly recommend this accommodation!
