Experience Summer 2026 at Matri House
Breakfast Basket for Summer Mornings
From 29 June to 6 August 2026, guests staying at Matri House can enjoy a carefully curated breakfast basket featuring the best local flavours. Each basket includes artisan sourdough bread, Saloniemi’s Syrjähyppy cheese, organic tomatoes, organic eggs, fresh berries, and Sami Tallberg’s signature overnight oats.
Enjoy a slow summer breakfast at your own pace – in the comfort of your room, in the shared spaces of Matri House, or in the peaceful garden while soaking up the atmosphere of a summer morning.
A New Wood-Fired Outdoor Sauna Completes the Matri House Experience
From summer 2026 onwards, Matri House offers guests an even more complete and authentic stay with the addition of a cosy wood-fired outdoor sauna. Nestled within the peaceful surroundings of our historic garden, the sauna can be booked separately by guests staying at Matri House.
Take time to slow down and experience the timeless tradition of a Finnish sauna at your own pace. After a relaxing sauna session, unwind in the tranquil garden, spend a peaceful evening at Matri House, or retreat to your comfortable Matri bed for a restful night’s sleep.
Surrounded by lush greenery, the sauna offers a private setting with inviting terraces for relaxation. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends, or celebrating a special occasion with exclusive use of the house, it provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Mathildedal.
