Lapland - Kotatuli, Kittila

During our trip to Lapland, we were fortunate enough to find a hidden gem in Kittila. We were going to the world championships for skiing in Levi the next day and we needed somewhere to stay and we managed to find Kotatuli. Located in the middle of nowhere even the GPS has difficulty guiding us to the destination showing us that the location was about 2km further down the street, there were only two houses for kilometres though so it had to be one of them.

It was by far the highlight of the trip for me, the house and family welcomed us with open arms and treated us like we were family. They had 5 dogs, 3 of which were puppies and I adored them. We stayed up late drinking tea and discussing many things. The husband/ father of the family was the person who introduced me to the Lappish baptism. The house was a traditional Finnish wooden house, with wood burning saunas and a beautifully traditional interior design.
