The unique charm of the place stems from a former village school built in the late 19th century,
exuding the stories of past times and offering an unforgettable experience to its visitors. Nearby rock paintings and the island's rich history further enhance its unique appeal.
The former village school radiates cultural heritage and reflects our family's passion for old buildings, art, and Saimaa.
Today, it serves as an inspiring environment for art and culture enthusiasts, travelers, and various groups, combining a unique history with the tranquility of nature. The Atelier Home is being renovated, the garden nurtured, and events organized with the help of family and friends.

Thank you for the wonderful stay at the magical Atelier Home.
The cuckoo sang, the wind whispered in the trees, the sun shone, and a serene peace surrounded us. The lakeside sauna offered soft, steamy heat, and it was delightful to take a refreshing dip in Saimaa. Thank you also for sharing the unique history of this place. Have a great summer, and we hope to meet again soon.
Katja Antonoff
Host of Yövesi Atelier Home
I am a watercolor and tempera painter as well as a sculptor. I am fascinated by the mystery of art, where the emerging image can be subtly guided but never forced into any direction. The result is always surprising.
Yövesi Atelier Home, on an island in Saimaa's Yövesi, is my soul landscape. To create art, I need silence – a space where I can immerse myself in the work taking shape.
