Un soggiorno differente

8.0

Bella posizione in cima alle piste da sci. Di notte davvero un luogo molto tranquillo. Servizio e cordialità dello staff ottimo. Colazione divina.

Abbiamo soggiornato una cabina aurora, di giorno la privacy non è al 100%, c’erano due bambini che giocavano a palle di neve esattamente fuori dalla nostra vetrata. Altra piccola pecca, un vetro esterno della nostra cabina era rotto

Ein wahrgewordener Traum im verschneiten Lappland

Die Lage war fantastisch und das Bett direkt unter dem Glasdach mit freier Sicht auf die Polarlichter war ein Traum

Exceptional 360 Views

10.0

Star Artic hotel staff and the setting of the hotel is what makes it such a unique place to enjoy the exceptionally beautiful Finnish landscape. Place at the top of a hill you get mesmerising 360 views of the sun setting over the village below. The food and service are of such a high standard, making it such a memorable stay. Jamie in particular went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful stay. I loved it so much I’ve already made plans to visit again in 2027.

Star Arctic, timanttinen lomamesta.

10.0

Uskomattoman hieno sijainti Saariselällä Kaunispään huipulla. Upeat näkymät. Ihana henkilökunta ja aamiainen. Hiihtoladut vieressä ja palvelut lähellä.

Kaikki oli hyvin.
