There is no rush in Kakola.

Time seems to move a little more slowly on Kakola hill. The granite buildings, sheltered courtyards and rocky landscape of the prison founded here in 1853 have found a new life, while the unhurried spirit and distinct character of the place remain.

Kakolan Torni is an understated, executive-level home and a respectful interpretation of the area's history. Rather than recreating the past, the interior carries its sense of dignity through natural stone, marble, brass, wood and warm neutral tones. There is room to gather in the living area and around the dining table, and two bedrooms for privacy.

The character of this home

  1. 01

    The Kakola neighbourhood

    Start the morning at the bakery, walk by the river, then return for the hill's restaurants, spa or an evening on your own balcony. Everything is close, yet Kakola has a world of its own.

  2. 02

    Understated, executive-level quality

    Natural stone, marble, brass, wood and carefully chosen furniture create exceptional quality without asking for attention. The comforts are entirely contemporary.

  3. 03

    Sauna, spa and evening sun

    Slow down in your private sauna, visit nearby Kakola Spa, or take in the evening light from the large balcony.
