summer romance in the manor of mustio in finland

The Manor of Mustio ( Svartå in Swedish, as it happens to be in the Swedish-speaking area of Finland) is a lovely destination if you happen to visit Finland, as it is just a short drive away from the capital, Helsinki. With wealth of history and a breathtaking location, this small and private hotel is a true haven if you are looking for a romantic place to relax.

Even if you are not planning to stay there, it is a great place to stop for a coffee or a meal and enjoy the grounds of the manor – or some outdoor summer theatre or musical performances.

The gardens are very English in style and there is a lot to see, starting from art and statues by the manor (both modern and new) to natural walkways in the forest and by the lake.
