Amazing amazing!!

We loved everything!!! The owners are amazing and kind, and take many subtle steps to make everything seamless. Wonderful food for breakfast, beautiful grounds, sleds and sleighs and a large fire lean-to and more available for use. Nice room, impeccably clean and well designed. We loved everything.

Die Villa Happy Fox ist ein traumhaftes Haus mitten im Wald, das mit stilvollen und komfortablen Appartements begeistert. Schon bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen und haben uns vom ersten Moment an rundum wohlgefühlt. Ein besonderes Highlight war das Frühstück: Der Kühlschrank wurde täglich mit allem Nötigen bestückt, sodass es uns an nichts fehlte. Als besonderes Glück konnten wir direkt vor dem Haus die atemberaubenden Nordlichter bewundern – ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Wir können die Villa Happy Fox uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Die Lage ist zwar etwas weit von der Stadt entfernt, aber einzigartig ruhig und wunderschöne Natur. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll und modern eingerichtet. Das Frühstück wird im Kühlschrank täglich aufgefüllt. Es ist keine große Auswahl, aber vollkommen ausreichend.

Happy villa customer

Villa was excellent for the size and nature all around villa makes for a relaxing stey, nicely decorated and comfortable. Breakfast was refreshed every day in the room and was filling with all appliances working and in good condition. Host was friendly, spoke English and Informative of areas of Internet for us. Need car to stay here since taxis back and forth would be expensive and good idea to have the villas phone number on hand since host can be busy and there might not be anyone at reception. Only 10-15 minutes drive from rovaniemi centre, Great alternative to hotels.

Tolles kleines Appartement mitten im Wald. Inclusive Frühstück war für uns was neues. Der Kühlschrank war voll, Wurst Käse verschiedene Sorten, Marmeladen Waffeln, Eier, Tomaten Gurke, Paprika, yogurt, Müsli, Obst, Kaffee Tee Toast Brötchen, kurz alles was das Herz begehrt, aber toll. Die Vermieter sehr lieb. Würde das sofort wieder buchen. Man benötigt ein Auto oder Taxi.
