Villa Sarva
Practical information
The things a booking actually turns on: how you reach the villa, how you get about once you are here, what is in the rate and what is not, and what the house holds.
Getting here
Kittilä airport is about fifteen minutes from Villa Sarva by car. A hire car is the simplest way to arrive — the villa has its own drive and parking — but if you would rather not drive, say so when you enquire and we will recommend a transfer or a taxi. Rovaniemi is 170 km away.
Getting about
The Levi ski lift is 1.4 km downhill from the end of the drive: fourteen minutes on foot, two minutes by car, or three on one of the villa's electric fat bikes.
The ski bus stop is 850 m away, about ten minutes on foot. Through the winter the bus runs roughly every half hour, from around nine in the morning until about seven in the evening. The timetable is set fresh each season, so treat those hours as the shape of the service rather than the exact times — we will send the current one before you travel.
Levi centre is 2.7 km — the shops, the restaurants and the rest of the resort. A few minutes by car or on the bus; twenty-five to thirty minutes on foot in winter conditions. The walk is mostly flat, with a gentle climb on the way home.
Three Rossignol electric fat bikes come with the villa, free for your stay, with three helmets and child trailers. They are the quickest way down to the lift and back up again, and in summer they go a good deal further.
What the rate includes
- Hot water and electricity — both are in the rate, with nothing metered afterwards
- Firewood for the stone fireplace
- The three electric fat bikes, with helmets and child trailers
- Exclusive use of the villa, the sauna, the wood-fired hot tub and the forest plot
What is charged on top
- Cleaning — €200 for the stay
- Linen and towels — €10 a person, with every bed made up before you arrive
Nothing else is added. Nightly rates and minimum stays are on the rates section of the main page.
How the villa sleeps ten
There are three bedrooms with two beds in each, and a mezzanine sleeping gallery with four more — ten beds in all, made up before you arrive, with cots on request.
One thing to know before you divide the party up: the mezzanine is reached through the first bedroom, not off the landing. Beds seven to ten are up there, open to the roof beams and the skylights. In practice it works best for children, or for one family taking that floor together — which is how most groups of ten end up arranging themselves anyway. It is not the room to give to a couple who need to come and go without passing anybody.
The house
- Around 200 m² of living space over three floors. With the garage — about 50 m² — the building runs to roughly 250 m².
- Living room: double height, with a stone wood-burning fireplace and a wood-fired oven built in beside it. You can cook in the oven, and with a fire kept at the back, bake pizza in it.
- Dining table: seats ten when it is extended.
- Kitchen: equipped to feed ten at once.
- Cinema room: a snug downstairs with a large screen and sofa seating — the room for the dark afternoons.
- Sauna: electric stove up to 90 °C, two bench levels seating six, a rinse room with two showers next door, and a drying cupboard for ski and hiking gear.
- Wood-fired hot tub outside under the trees, newly installed for the winter of 2026/27.
- Two bathrooms.
Things we can arrange
Grocery delivery. Send a list before you travel and the kitchen can be stocked when you walk in — worth doing on an evening arrival, when the drive to the shops is the last thing anybody wants.
An itinerary for the week. Huskies, reindeer, aurora hunts and snowmobiles in winter; hiking, biking and the rivers in summer. Tell us who is coming and what they like, and we will put together a plan and make the bookings where it helps.
Ask for either in your enquiry.
