Villa Ozero

Villa Ozero is a semidetached house in Tahko (Tahkovuori), Nilsiä, which belongs to the city of Kuopio nowadays. Villa Ozero is situated by the lake near all services (cafeterias, restaurants, the spa, the ski center) of Tahko. The place is very quiet and relaxing. You couldn't have better lake view and ski center view in Tahko. Five days before our arrival we got a code by e-mail. With that code we were able to open the key box next to the door. So we didn't meet any staff during our holiday. Villa Ozero is very big and suitable for 2-8 persons. Upstairs we had a living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms, a bathroom (a toilet and a shower), a kitchen/kitchenette (a microwave oven, an electric stove, a coffee maker, a water kettle, a toaster, a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher) and a balcony. Downstairs we had a recreation room with a fireplace, two bedrooms, an electric sauna, a bathroom (two showers and a washing machine), a separate toilet and a large terrace with a small charcoal grill. There seems to be an electrical outlet for heating a car outside, but we didn't use it because it was summer. Actually we had a heatwave in Finland during our stay in Villa Ozero. Daytime temperatures were about +30 degrees Celsius outside. Air-conditioning worked very well downstairs, but upstairs was very very hot. Besides, Venetian blinds didn't work properly. There is a pier next to Villa Ozero. It is very good for swimming and fishing. Water is very clean. In addition to this the pier is a wonderful place to admire the sunset. Unfortunately the pier isn't only for Villa Ozero. It is shared with many other villas. If you want to get a hot outdoor tub next to the villa, you can rent it from Restaurant Kaisla. You have to have own bedclothes and towels if you haven't rented them from the owner of the villa. Shampoo (only downstairs) and toilet papers are available in the villa. You have to clean the villa yourself if the price you pay doesn't include final cleaning. Even if you have paid the final cleaning, you have to do the dishes and empty trashes. This isn't a luxury villa, but it is very good and I can recommend it.
