(Excellent Finnish buffet by reservation only)

Villa Kokkonen (1969) is a fascinating story of architecture, design and music. Not only did Alvar Aalto design Villa Kokkonen to be a unique home for Music but he also was successful in making Villa Kokkonen to be one of his finest houses among all the private houses he ever designed.

Elina Viitaila (Master of Music) and Antti A. Pesonen (Master of Social Sciences) have hired Villa Kokkonen and created an exclusive concept and a coherent set of new services for cultural and architectural visits. Hosted by Elina and Antti, your trip to Villa Kokkonen is unforgettable!

"Thanks for your wonderful guide tour and music and coffee! We had the best experience we could have in this visit. The best way to experience architecture is to experience it in use and I think you make the best use of this house. P.S. We shall be back to do volunteers for the garden!" (Hiroshi and Haruka)

"We thank you very much for the wonderful time in the Villa Kokkonen. We were very pleased being able to visit this time as we love Aalto´s design. Listening to the beautiful music, piano music and songs, in the studio helped us experience the spaces designed by Aalto." (Y. Kikushima)
