10/10 Excellent
"Everything was absolutely perfect. The host was very friendly and welcoming and ploughed the snow on the track to the lodge every day. The lodge exceeded our expectations in every way; size, amenities, presentation, quality. It was incredibly accessible for my dad, who is in a wheel chair. It was a really magical place to stay - especially when the snow fell! Really, really loved the place! "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Virtasalmi?
The best area to stay in Virtasalmi is directly on the shores of Lake Kyyvesi, particularly in the vicinity of the Virtasalmi village centre.

This area offers immediate access to the natural beauty that defines Virtasalmi. You'll find properties right on the water, providing stunning lake views and opportunities for activities like swimming, fishing, and boating. The village centre itself is small but provides essential services and a local church.

For couples seeking a peaceful retreat, staying in a lakeside cottage or a hotel with lake access near the village centre is ideal. You can enjoy quiet mornings with a view, gentle walks along the shore, and the chance to simply relax amidst nature. Many properties in this area will have private jetties or beach access.

Families will also find this area highly suitable. The proximity to the lake means children can enjoy water-based activities under supervision, and many accommodations offer space for outdoor play.
When is the best time to go to Virtasalmi?

During this period, you'll experience pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The extended daylight hours, often stretching late into the evening, provide ample time to explore the natural beauty of the Southern Savonia region. This is when the lakes are great for swimming, boating, and fishing, and the forests are lush for hiking and foraging.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the summer months particularly appealing. You can enjoy quiet evenings by the lake, perhaps at a lakeside cottage with a private sauna, or take leisurely walks through the countryside. The longer days mean more opportunities for scenic drives and discovering local craft shops or small museums without feeling rushed.
