• Koivulan Kartano – 7 minutes by car
• Hotels and Airbnbs in downtown Lohja – 15 minutes by car

For larger events, we recommend reserving room blocks at Hotel Omenatarha early.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes — you are welcome to bring your own catering and beverages.

To support this flexibility, we provide:

• 5 large fridges/freezers
• Villa (2)
• Cellar (1)
• Beach House (1)
• Barn (1)
• Cool storage cellar

This allows you to fully control your event budget and choose catering that matches the style of your event.

What staples are the kitchens equipped with and what do I need to bring myself?

Both the Villa and the Beach House kitchen are equipped with:

• Paper towels
  
• Basic spices such as salt and pepper
• Dishwashing detergents
• Baking paper, tin foil and cling film

We kindly ask you to bring your own coffee for our filter coffee machines.

What tableware should we use if we are dining at the barn?

For larger celebrations held at the barn, we recommend using disposable tableware or arranging plates, glasses, and cutlery through your catering provider. 

While the necessary tableware can be transported from the Villa, this must be arranged and carried out by the client, as Villa Stenberg does not provide this service. 

Due to the distance between the Villa and the barn, transporting tableware for large groups can be time-consuming and require significant effort. For smaller groups, it is generally more practical to bring the required items from the Villa.

Is music allowed? Can I hire a band or DJ?

Absolutely.

Included at the venue:

• Sound systems on the terrace and in the barn
• Microphones and speakers for speeches

Bands and DJs are welcome (they must bring their own equipment).

What add-ons are available?

• Sheets & towels – €25/person
• Hot tubs:
• Villa – 200€
• Beach House – 100€
• White tablecloth rentals:
• Dining room – 20€
• Orangerie – 60€
• Party tent – 120€
• Pet cleaning fee – 40€
• Barn rental – 450€ per stay
• Glamping Cottage – 250€ per night

Guest numbers and selected add-ons are confirmed 30 days before arrival.

If we do not book the Beach House, can someone else book it?

Yes. If the Beach House is not included in your reservation, it may be booked by other guests during the same period.

Please note:
The lakeside wedding ceremony location is available only when the Beach House is part of your booking, as the beach area belongs to that property.

When can we start decorating the barn and beach ceremony area?

The barn and beach ceremony area may only be decorated from the start of your rental period for those specific locations. If you have reserved the Villa from Friday to Sunday but the Beach House, barn, or beach ceremony area only from Saturday to Sunday, decoration of those areas may begin on Saturday when your rental period for those spaces starts.

This policy ensures that all guests have equal access to the spaces they have reserved and allows us to accommodate bookings fairly. In some cases, the barn or beach area may be in use by other guests before your rental period begins. If you would like access to all event areas for the entire weekend, we recommend reserving all buildings and event spaces for the full duration of your stay.

Can we bring our own sheets?

Yes, of course! 

Are candles allowed?

Tea lights are permitted when placed in proper holders.
For all other candles, we kindly ask that LED candles are used.

We also provide lanterns and candlesticks if needed.

Are there any noise restrictions at Villa Stenberg?

We recommend moving your celebration from the barn to the Villa terrace from 10:00 PM onwards. This allows everyone to enjoy the rest of the evening while helping us preserve a peaceful environment for our neighbours and nearby holiday homes.

The barn is located directly on the lakeshore, where sound travels exceptionally well across the water, particularly on calm evenings. The Villa terrace, on the other hand, is situated further from the shore, and the house itself helps reduce noise, making it a more suitable setting for the later part of the evening.

If music played in the barn after 10:00 PM is considered excessively loud, we may need to limit the volume or remotely switch off the barn's sound system to comply with local noise requirements.

Please also note that power to the barn's sound system is automatically switched off at 12:00 AM (midnight). After this, your celebration can continue on the Villa terrace, provided that music is kept at a considerate volume in accordance with local regulations.
