Villa Apollo Private Dining

Authentic archipelago flavours prepared from scratch

At Villa Apollo, food is at the heart of the entire experience.

By the sea in the Finnish archipelago, we prepare our food by hand with time, care and high quality ingredients. Bread is baked in our own kitchen, stocks and broths are simmered from scratch, and fresh fish often arrives directly from local fishermen to our shore. Every dish is prepared on site with attention to detail and genuine craftsmanship.

Guests notice the difference already at breakfast. Warm freshly baked bread, homemade jams, fresh fish and the flavours of the season reflect authentic cooking and a true passion for food.

Food rooted in tradition

The cuisine of Head Chef Piia Helenius is inspired by Finnish culinary traditions, the rhythm of the archipelago and flavours passed down through generations. Slowly simmered broths, handmade breads, carefully selected seasonal ingredients and respect for Nordic flavours can be seen in every table setting.

In spring, wild herbs and the first fresh green flavours arrive on the table.
In summer, fresh fish, archipelago potatoes and herbs from the garden take centre stage.
In autumn, mushrooms, game, sea buckthorn and rich seasonal flavours define the menus.
In winter, slow cooked dishes, root vegetables and traditional festive meals bring warmth and comfort.

At Villa Apollo, exceptional food grows from genuine craftsmanship, care and professional expertise.
