Only 1.5 hours drive south of Tallinn is Parnu, summer capital of Estonia, with its unspoilt pine-bordered beaches stretching around the bay in the Gulf of Riga. It's easy to see why the area is popular with the Estonians, a beautiful town with quaint parks and bordered by sandy beaches, a rich cultural calendar and many interesting sights to see. Venture outside of the city and you can visit the Soomaa national park, a land of bogs, floods and primeval wilderness, where you can hike along the boardwalks or canoe in the waters. This is a superb place to visit at dawn or dusk when the light is magical, or enjoy our unique canoeing by moonlight experience.

One of the most impressive buildings in Parnu is a beautifully renovated Art Nouveau villa, formerly the home of a wealthy Parnu merchant and now a luxurious hotel and restaurant. Here you can stay in a range of rooms, from the cosy gardeners house in the grounds, to the magnificent suites in the main house. This is hospitality at its best and you will be made to feel welcome and to enjoy the delightful reception rooms, billiards room, the villa grounds, and the award winning restaurants. During the summer months there are classical concerts held in the grounds.

Enjoy a private candlelit dinner in the tower of the villa.
