Willa Lilja & Katariina are waiting for you!

Willa Lilja is managed by Katariina Röbbelen-Voigt, who spent practically every childhood vacation in the farm and its surroundings. After living nearly four decades in Germany, Katariina made the life-changing decision to return to Finland to realise her long-term dream of transforming this place into a cozy homestay accommodation.

The name “Willa Lilja” pays tribute to Katariina’s beloved grandmother, Aura Helmi Lilja, known as “Lilli” among family and friends.
