We had dinner and breakfast and bought plenty of souvenirs like beer and honey. The food and restaurant made me nostalgic and I loved the room we had at the back of the compound. Everything was super clean and tidy and thank you for the tea and instant coffee in the shared kitchen. The views are amazing in Autumn and a great place to contemplate life.

The place I have wanted to see so many years! I was so lucky to be there at Easter Sunday!
A Wonderful place. Very beautiful
A great place to find peace in a hasty world for both believers and non believers. Many come back from the monastery feeling renewed and happy. It is also a great place for those seeking to come closer to God by providing a calm and prayerful atmosphere. Valamo monastary is home to several miracle working icons and many relics. It also has fascinating history and tradition. The monastery is located in a scenic area surrounded by forests and next to a lake. It provides accommodations and the monastery's trapeza has great food. It also has a winery, gift shop, educational center that provides a wide range of courses throughout the year, a library, as well as several exhibitions.
Great place if you need peace and silence. Good food, accomodation is nice, clean and well kept, they even have rooms for pet owners. Staff is cheerful and help in any way they can. There is a winery which sells its products, and they make also liquors and whiskey. Silence comes at 9pm, when everything closes and lights go out.
Valamo Monestery’s beautiful surroundings turns to feeling peace in your mind, and leaves you speechless. Strongly recommended.
Very interesting place, visited during a catholic pilgrimage. The place has a very interesting and could be even called 'ancient', history ;) (the original monastery was built 900-1300 bc)
A peaceful, beautiful area of Finland steeped in history. Well worth a visit, if you remain respectful of the atmosphere and culture. Rules include silence between 10pm and 6am, no photography during services, and no photos of any personnel or those living there. I would also recommend coming closer to winter for the quieter season. Food is served from 6am until 6pm (9pm on Fridays and Saturdays). There's a range of pastries and sandwiches, or the lunch/dinner buffet. The latter is more expensive but the ingredients are quality. The local cat is also very friendly and worth watching out for ️
