Nina Kordon Guesthouse — Hotel in Peipsiääre vald

Once upon a time a dutch antique dealer who met an estonian lady active in hospitality business. They bought this house, formerly a school and a watchstation for coastguards on the Lake Peipsi, facing the Russian Bear on the other side of the Lake.... They together transformed and furnished the building to create this hidden gem in a beautiful and non touristic landscape.||You won't go there to "spend a night". But go to share. To share the feeling of local history in this magical house, were you also find real comfort (good beds and up-to-date showers). To share discussions with the owner who will be happy to introduce you to his passion for antiques as well as for this lost part of the world he wishes to stay undiscovered for decades...
