Mrs. Santa Claus’ Christmas Cottage – Commitment to Sustainable Travel Finland
At Mrs. Santa Claus’ Christmas Cottage, located in the heart of Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, we warmly welcome guests into a world of storytelling, heartfelt encounters, and seasonal magic — all rooted in responsibility and care for our environment, community, and traditions.
