Haikko Manor (Hotelli Haikon Kartano) ReviewWhat 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 is 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 packages cost from 174€ to 195€ ($278-$312). Most require reservations a day or two in advance.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
