This unique setting combines the elegance of yesteryear with coziness and modern comfort. Our villa offers communal and personalized accommodation where you can relax, meet new people, or simply enjoy your own space - just as you like.

Nearby, you will find, among other things, the highly esteemed K-Supermarket of Northern Finland, a pharmacy, cafes, and pizzerias. Nallikari Beach and the magnificent nature trails of Hietasaari invite you for a walk or bike ride right next door - a perfect retreat after a day in the city. Getting to Oulu city center is easy: By walking or biking, approximately 3 km By bus, in about 10 minutes (bus stop 200 m away) We offer free parking for those arriving by car. Hostel Cafe Huvila has 30 bed spaces, offering both private and shared moments. The villa features three private rooms (2, 4, and 6 beds) and three dormitory rooms accommodating 6 guests each - a perfect choice for backpackers, groups of friends, or small groups. All guests have access to a cozy communal kitchen, a comfortable lounge area, and shared bathrooms.
