Cultural experiences and historical sites nearby

Calliola is only a short distance away from Tammisaari, Fagervik, and Fiskars villages – all beautiful and popular day-trip destinations. Just a 10-minute drive away, you can also find the Arcadian Village of Snappertuna and the Raseborg Castle – an area that was the center of governance in Finland from medieval times all the way through to 1634.

Tammisaari, a beautiful old town, is just a 20-minute drive away. The newest attraction there is Villa Skippet, a house that the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto designed for his friends Göran and Christine Schildt, and was only recently opened to the public.

Take a trip to Tammisaari’s market for fresh produce and handicrafts or drive 30 minutes to Fagervik, Finland’s first ironworks. Founded in the 18th century during Sweden’s reign over Finland – it was the first place in Finland where potatoes were planted. Some argue that potatoes are the foundation of traditional Finnish cuisine and nutrition.

Enjoy local food at Calliola

The full-course dinners that our chef cooks from the best local ingredients leave our guests speechless every time. The game and mushrooms used in our kitchen come from the surrounding forests, fish from the nearby waters, and lamb from the nearby organic farm called Bovik. We bake our bread ourselves from local flour, and even the honey we use comes from our neighbor’s apiary. Our fantastic food is equally matched by the great wines on our wine list – thanks to the extensive selection of quality wines in our cellar.
