Muhu is an once-closed island at the far-western
edge of the former Soviet Union and close to Sweden. This 200-square-kilometer
Baltic island of over 2,000 inhabitants has preserved
its culture and landscape unspoilt during
the Soviet isolation from 1940's to the end of 1980's.
The uniqueness of the landscape is best
known for traditional wooden architecture, thatch-roofed
cottages, juniper forests, meadows, fishing villages and fields of
wood anemones.
Männiku farm offers comfortable
accommodation in a romantic cottage in the
middle of quietness and beautiful nature, an hour and a half drive
from Tallinn and a half-hour ferry journey from the
mainland. We're open all the year round.
The cottage was completed in 2001 and it has
all modern facilities. You can spend some
cosy nights by a fireplace in the first floor or
unwind in a wooden-heated sauna towards
evening. In the open air you can barbeque in a
special cot made for this purpose.
There's also great circumstances
to go in for sports on Muhu. There's a beach
volleyball field in the courtyard, and the football
field as well as an another volleyball field are a stone's
throw (50 m) from here.
And if you're into indoor sports, the near-by
town, Liiva, has a sports hall. Horseback
riding is available at the neighbouring
horse farm (500 m),
Tihuse. But if you enjoy more watching the sports,
we suggest you arrive here in 24th of June when we host
a national volleyball tournament "Männiku
talu Jaaniturniir" named after the traditional Estonian midsummer
festival.
And if you wish, you may also help doing
the daily duties of the farm -- perhaps
some haymaking in the summer.
