Villa Eden instructions

1. Merikruunu village

​

The Archipelago Village Merikruunu is a new concept of holiday living in the archipelago, where you can enjoy the sea and a bit of luxury in the best strategic location close to all services.

​

Merikruunu is a masterpiece of architects Lukas Senkus and Peik Cygnel, which exudes a Scandinavian atmosphere and charm with its individuality, respecting the area’s great old history, which it still wants to listen to.

There are 30 m2 villas and 44 m2 villas with saunas in the area with a total of 40 villas.

​

Merikruunu Holiday Village is operated by a former boarding house built in the 1930s – Hotel Merikruunu, whose services are available to customers. The hotel offers a full restaurant and breakfast service, and there is also a cozy pub downstairs and 14 rooms upstairs. The lunch menu changes daily. If you need more accommodation for a larger group of friends, please contact the hotel regarding availability.

​

On the beach area, there is a beach sauna and a new sauna with a hot tub above the hotel building. Please inquire about reservations at the hotel.

​

Villa Eden, which was finished in May 2022, can be found a mere 50 meters away from the Hotel Merikruunu. The villa boasts ample space and is fitted with a sauna and a hot tub, making it one of the largest in the Archipelago Village of Merikruunu. Guests can enjoy a serene and tranquil stay at Villa Eden while taking in the stunning sea view overlooking the village. The villa is situated in a peaceful location at the outskirts of the Archipelago Village. In the summertime, guests can witness a breathtaking sunset over the horizon from the scenic area opposite the villa.

​

3. Facilities

Villa Eden has an open concept area consisting of a kitchen and a living room with an air source heat pump, a bedroom, two lofts with windows, a bathroom with a sauna and a large sea terrace with an outdoor jacuzzi, barbecue and dining area.

​

The kitchen includes a fridge-freezer, induction hob and oven, as well as a dishwasher, kettle and coffee maker, tableware for six people and everything you need for cooking.

​

The villa has custom-made blackout curtains and blinds that darken the front windows of the living room. Please handle curtains and blinds with care! When you are not using blinds, keep them at the top of the window. Leave the blinds slightly open at the top and bottom overnight to prevent condensation from accumulating on the floor and windows. If water does accumulate, wipe it up with a cloth.

​

The villa is also suitable for families with children and the villa has e.g. a children's travel cot (assembly instructions can be found in the villa's folder), a high chair and a security gate on the stairs. Pull and lift the handle to open it.

Villa Eden is located below the hotel, on the edge of the forest, below Villa #15. Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 PM. The key is kept in a key locker located to the left of the terrace enclosure. The villa owner will send the code before arrival.

​

The living room and bedrooms have adjustable spotlights. Press and turn the switches to adjust the lights. The terrace lights can be turned on using the hallway light switch.

​

The air heat pump is the main source of heating in Villa Eden and can also be used for cooling. The temperature of the air heat pump can be adjusted as needed, and its remote control can be found in the wall box on the fixed staircase wall. The instructions for using the air heat pump can be found in the villa's folder, and here are the main functions:

• With the On/Off button, you can turn the pump on or off.

• Using the Mode button, you can select the "AUTO" mode and adjust the temperature with the plus/minus buttons.

• With the Fan button, you can adjust the strength of the air flow.

 

Villa Eden also has electric heaters, which are connected to smart power sockets that should not be unplugged. The thermostats on the heaters should also not be touched. The bedroom doors can be opened onto the terrace.

 

Do not touch the air conditioning vents. They are set to automatic mode, which means they will run faster when needed and slow down later.

 

There are candlesticks and lanterns in the living room and on the terrace, which have LED candles. The use of regular candles is prohibited.

​

4.2 Kitchen, living room and storage room

​

In the kitchen, you'll find dishwashing liquid and dishwasher tablets in addition to a dish brush. Remember to open the tap when using the dishwasher and close it afterwards. The tap for the dishwasher is closed when the lever points upwards.

 

In the storage closet of the villa, you'll find a cordless vacuum cleaner and its charger. Don't keep the vacuum cleaner plugged in all the time, but instead use up the battery completely before the next recharge. Empty the contents of the vacuum cleaner as needed.

​

If you spill food or drink on the sofa or carpet, pour a generous amount of baking soda on it. Let the soda absorb, wait, and then vacuum the soda away. Wipe only after that. You'll also find a textile cleaning spray in the storage closet. Please inform us if the sofa or carpet needs cleaning so we can arrange further action!

​

If you notice any broken or missing dishes or utensils, please inform us via email at villaeden.merikruunu@gmail.com  so that we can provide each guest with the necessary items according to the inventory list.

​

4.3 Bathroom and sauna

​

In the bathroom, there is a toilet, a sink, a shower corner, an electric towel dryer, a drying washing machine, and an electric sauna. A hairdryer can be found in the drawer of the sink.

​

There is underfloor heating in both the bathroom and the sauna, along with two thermostats that are set to the appropriate temperature. Please do not adjust the thermostats.

​

The towel dryer is connected to a smart power outlet, and it can be turned on/off by pressing the gray button on the side. Do not unplug the power cord or remove the smart outlet from the wall. Always remember to turn off the smart outlet after use.

When using the washing machine, remember to turn on the water by turning the valve to the left fully before starting and close the valve when the washing cycle is complete. This ensures that the washing machine gets enough water and prevents potential water damage.

​

The bathroom window can be fully or partially opened by turning the handle upward. Note that there is a mosquito net installed on the window, so you can keep the window open without worrying about insects.

​

Use the floor dryer hanging on the shower wall to dry the floor in the bathroom. Remember to wipe your feet and body dry before moving to the terrace to avoid slipping and to keep the area clean and safe.

​

To turn on the sauna, press the I/O button. The sauna is programmed to heat to 75°C and will remain on for 2 hours at a time. Reprogramming the sauna is prohibited due to fire hazards and energy efficiency.

​

Adjust sauna ventilation control panel on the wall facing the bathroom to the right during use and to the left after use. Raise the lever on the back wall during use and lower after use for adequate ventilation and safety. Do not grill on the sauna stove or use anything other than water, such as scents or other substances.

 

An initial package of toilet paper and hand soap can be found in the bathroom. Please ensure that you leave the same amount of paper as before use when leaving.

​

4.4 Terrace glazing

​

The terrace of Villa Eden is partly glazed, and the doors of the glazing can be opened by sliding. Be careful when handling the doors to avoid damage. Inside the glass doors are pull knobs that can be used to open and close the doors. Remember to be careful not to accidentally close the glass doors from the inside if you don't want to.

​

Outside the glass doors, there is also a lock that is usually unlocked.

​

4.5 Gas grill

​

On the terrace, you will find a gas grill, a gas bottle, a grill cleaning brush, a grill cover, and a fire extinguisher. Tongs can be found in the kitchen. Remember to put the grill cover on only after it has cooled down.

We recommend using foil grill mats to keep the grill clean. If the grill is left noticeably dirty after use, an additional cleaning fee will be charged. Cleaning the grill is not included in the final cleaning, each renter is responsible for cleaning it themselves.

​

To clean the grill, heat it up and then brush it with a steel brush that can be found under the grill, as well as the fire extinguisher. Remember to wipe the outside of the grill as well.

​

The grill is intended for outdoor grill only. Turn off after use. Remember to close the gas valve after use. Email if gas runs out: villaeden.merikruunu@gmail.com.

​

4.6 Hot tub

​

Villa Eden is equipped with a compact 160 x 160 cm LYFCO FOIBE hot tub. Before using the hot tub, please carefully read the instructions and warnings. The hot tub is a delicate device, so unnecessary adjustments should be avoided.

​

4.7 Cleaning

​

Although a professional takes care of the final cleaning, customers are still responsible for cleaning before departure. This includes washing dishes, emptying the fridge, cleaning the oven and grill, tidying up the holiday home and its surroundings, and taking out the trash. We will charge separately for cleaning costs if the villa is very dirty or items are damaged or broken. Renters are responsible for the furnishings during the rental period and must compensate for any damage to the villa or its furnishings.

​

4.8 Safety

​

There are two smoke detectors in the living room and bedrooms, which are connected to the mains power. A foam fire extinguisher can be found in the storage closet, and fire blankets are located under the grill and on top of the microwave.

Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors and on the terrace area for safety reasons.
