Unique interior design by Marimekko
At Versso we have four distinct houses, each is designed with a unique Marimekko pattern, specially curated for ÖÖD: Unikko, Tiiliskivi, Räsymatto and Siirtolapuutarha. This house was named after Siirtolapuutarha (city garden) pattern, which tells a tale of a journey from a bustling city center to an allotment garden overflowing with flowers and vegetables.

The location along the bay is perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and even fishing. Explore scenic hiking trails in undisturbed nature and savour the beauty of the picturesque Finnish coastline.

Pets
If you wish to bring your pet with you, please see our two other pet-friendly houses at ÖÖD in Versso, which are: Räsymatto and Tiiliskivi. These houses are also very beautiful and come with beachfront views and private sauna.
Birds and birdwatching
Our goal has always been to blend into nature without hurting it. ÖÖD houses are often surrounded by nature and in peaceful wild areas where there are birds and other smaller wildlife. At Versso, we have even spotted grey herons at times.
Birds often can't recognise windows or mirrors and therefore might hurt themselves. To prevent that, we use UV film stickers on all of our ÖÖD houses - on all of the glass panels. These stickers reflect ultraviolet light, which birds can see but humans can’t. When light reflects, birds understand that there is an object on their way and they'll change direction. We challenge you to try and find them, as they're almost invisible for human eye!
