Hösten 2026 på Hotel Nestor och restaurang Back Pocket

Hösten är en speciell tid på året i Korpo. Vissa morgnar vaknar man till ett intensivt orange solljus som strålar genom de bruna löven och täcker allt i ett spektakulärt sken som får en att känna sig levande. Andra dagar är vädret regnigt, dimmigt och djupt stämningsfullt. Dessa kontraster gör hösten till en mysig och […]

The archipelago's absolute best eatery. A full five for very delicious nine courses of local ingredients and atmosphere (we did not test the wine package).Can be highly recommended to anyone who has the opportunity.

Pearl of the archipelago💎! After the tasting menu, you'll be smiling happily all the rest of the summer🥰. And the experience isn't just about the taste. Beauty and aesthetics are present in everything; the table setting, the architecture, the interior design, the surrounding nature. The service is exceptionally genuinely friendly. We LOVE ❤️!

My girlfriend and I felt very welcome, our room was super cozy and the surroundings of the hotel are perfect to unwind. The entire team is really kind, the food is absolutely amazing and even special wishes (e.g., vegan food options) are taken into account.

We had the opportunity to spend four days at this hotel at the beginning of May, before the official season had opened. Our main goal was to relax and make exploratory e-bike trips around the nearby islands. As for the rooms, they were comfortable, very clean, and had a pleasant smell. This was an especially welcome change after our previous stay in the centre of Helsinki. The kitchen also deserves praise. The breakfasts, although meat-free, were varied and very filling — a great way to start the day. One evening we also decided to try a multi-course dinner with dessert. The dishes were tasty, varied, and surprising. You can clearly see that, for the chef, this is not just a job but also a passion. The hotel has a large, sheltered wooden terrace — and during our stay, they were still finishing its extension. It is a very pleasant place to spend time instead of staying in the rooms. They also have a larger with stone wall dining room, which I think would be very nice on hot days, as well as an additional glass-walled building with a bar and tables. Internet? Well, according to the tests, around 400 Mbps upload and download — simply fantastic. The hotel is also a bike rental point. In terms of location, it is very well situated: close to the road, but at the same time quiet. Car traffic is generally low and largely regulated by the ferry connections. I recommend downloading an app with ferry schedules. The island is a good starting point for trips to the nearby islands, or a convenient overnight stop if you want to do a larger circular route. And most importantly — the hotel team. For me, this was the strongest point of the place. They were very friendly and helpful, and I felt genuinely comfortable there. If I ever visit these islands again, this time for a circular trip with several overnight stays, I will definitely plan a stay at Hotel Nestor. I would be very happy to return.

Todella hyvä, kiva miljöö ja hienot maut, luvatun 6 sijaan taisi olla 8 lajia, ja oli riittävästi. Viinipaketti myös erittäin hyvä, ja laiturissa sai yöpyä for free. Vahva suositus!
