Haawe Apartment (Ruska, Gaissa or Kongas apartment) with fully-equipped kitchen
The story of each apartment is unique and represents a dreamlike narrative, captured from a world that inspired their theme.
The Finnish word 'Köngäs' comes from the Sami language and means rapids or waterfalls that cannot be navigated by boat. The flat Köngäs is dominated by grey, rocky natural stone and water. The Ruska apartment is filled throughout the year with the beautiful warm colours of autumn. 'Ruska' refers to the colourful spectacle of deciduous trees and twigs in Rovaniemi from early to mid-September.
Finally, the atmosphere of the Gaissa apartment is based on contrasts: soft and hard, dark and light. 'Gaissa', in the Sami language, means high mountains with snow on top all year round. Large windows on the two walls bring light and a sense of space into the room. Each apartment has a kitchen with a dishwasher and coffee machine, a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with luxury toiletries.

Rovaniemi —
Rovaniemi is the capital city of Lapland in northern Finland, and is known as the 'official hometown of Santa Claus'. Home to Santa Claus Village, a year-round Christmas-themed attraction, this is heaven on earth for festive fanatics. Breathe in the purest air in Europe and dive into a country where 70% of the territory is covered with forest areas - this is a true escape from the everyday.
Thanks to the city’s proximity to the Arctic Circle (just 6km away), the city is the perfect place for a magical wintry escape. Catch the incredible spectacle of the Northern Lights, and explore the Arctic Circle Hiking Area, a diverse trail network where you can admire rapids and aapa mires, a complex landscape of wetlands.
Besides the Christmas festivities, Rovaniemi is also a great springboard from which to explore the Ranua Wildlife Park and the Arkitikum Science Museum. While you might have a spectacular winter break in mind, the summer is the time to experience the unique spectacle of the Midnight Sun - between the 6th June-7th July, the sun never falls below the horizon, meaning even more time for activities like horse riding, hiking, and jet skiing!
