I'm trying to organise a pre-christmas Lpaland Santa trip for our family of 3 adults 9inc Grandma) and 7 year old and almost 4 year olds sons from 19-23rd December.
We are looking for magical, a low-key and uncommercial experience, so have discounted Rovaniemi. ldeally we'd lik to be in the middle of nowhere but my husband is nervous of flying so we need to go with a company which flies direct. As our younger son is quite small we thought a hotel with a pool would be good so he can have some fun out of the cold. So that narrows the choice even more.
A trip with The Magic of Lapland to The Saaga Spa Hotel seems to tick most of the boxes but I am a little put off by the fact it's in a ski resort The photos show a modern building surrounded by car parks so it's not the "pretty little hotel nestling in the woods" that I had dreamed of!
Can anyone reassure me that it it is more attractive/magical in real life than it looks, or suggest an alternative with pool and direct flights?
