Valamon Luostari

"Le lieu en lui-même, unique, calme, serein, l'accès à l'église, l'environnement autour du site, la disponibilité des bénévoles"

"Sauna public non disponible tous les jours, mais c'est surtout pour prévenir d'autres voyageurs et non pas un reproche; ce n'est clairement pas ce que je retiendrai."

"La nature, le temps de retrait, les offices dans l’église, les randonnées, la neige"

"C'est spécial de passer la nuit dans un monastère orthodoxe. La responsable de l'accueil nous a donné les bons renseignements. Les cellules étaient petites, mais tout à fait confortables, d'un bon rapport qualité-prix. Nous avons eu un très bon buffet, très varié. et le petit-déjeuner était bon aussi ."

"J'ai dû me faire aider pour ouvrir la porte de ma chambre. A l'arrivée au Monastère, on ne sait pas vraiment où se diriger. Heureusement , il y avait un panneu indiquant "Information"."

"Peaceful, calm and beautiful area of Valamo was a pleasant experience. The room facilities were quite modest and minimalist, with small single beds and a shared toilet, but it felt suitable given the monastery atmosphere. Nice simple breakfast was included"

"The room had only thin white curtains, and it was very bright outside even at night during summer, so it was impossible to sleep in the dark. Dark and thick curtains would have been much appreciated"

"Unique experience in the most beautiful location. Fantastic breakfast."

"N/A"

"A perfect place to switch off an recharge one's battery in a rural setting in Finland. The food and products are all locally made. The room was clean and well-kept."

"Difficult to reach without a car."

"Staying at the "new" Valamo monastery is a trip into another space and time. The industry and enterprise of the Monks and their ecosystem of volunteers is evident and impressive. The visitor is present in their world. There is a very good guided tour, and even though Monks are not known for being talkative, if you are lucky it is possible to have a meaningful conversation. It is possible to begin to understand the structure of the religion. A wonderful, memorable experience."

"The place is amazing value foe money, and it suits a quiet traveller well, or one who is kayaking. The breakfast, tea table, and viinitupa were great!"

"The buffet dinner was a bit too fatty and meaty for our stomachs."

"Very nice and quiet spot with running by so many lovely and friendly people"
