“Villa Helvetia charmed me with its Art Nouveau bones and surprising devotion to sustainability. I admire the family-like atmosphere that seems to grow among returning guests. It's the sort of place where a breakfast of regional delicacies and dips in the Finnish sauna feel both indulgent and perfectly right.”
