Villa Fridlykka for rent

A simple and peaceful place in a neighborhood with a central location, overlooking the city - so there are hills :) Villa Fridlykka is a cozy little house a few minutes' walk from the city center, where you can combine shopping, boat trips to the islands, and beach life at the guest harbor. The house dates back to 1880, so it has its own character and charm, with more recent upgrades and projects in progress. Low ceiling, so one must therefore be of shorter stature. Patio and a small garden with access to barbecue set you free in a downtown oasis. P 50 meters before the house
