Haikko Manor (Hotelli Haikon Kartano)

Frommer's Review

What you'll see when you first arrive at this resort is a grand neoclassical manor house flanked by a sprawling series of modern, two-story wings that contain additional bedrooms and a full-service spa. All of it lies on 14 hectares (35 acres) of steeply sloping and heavily forested oceanfront property 7km (4 1/3 miles) southwest of Porvoo.

The site was established as a farm in 1362, but the manor house as you see it today dates from 1913. It was rebuilt after a fire by members of the von Etter family, who were famously associated, through family links and friendship, with the brother of the last of the Romanoff tsars.

The more expensive accommodations are antique-loaded, high-ceilinged lodgings within the manor house; the more reasonably priced accommodations are comfortable and very tasteful units within the modern wings. On-site spa, sauna, and hydrotherapy facilities are extensive and comprehensive. Spa treatments last for between 30 and 90 minutes each, and cost from 30€ to 80€ ($39-$104). Most require reservations a day or two in advance.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; 2 tennis courts; spa; bike rentals; limited room service; laundry service/dry cleaning; on-site museum and art gallery
