Pictures from Savonlinna town: The town center is full of tourists and often at other places too there are travellers, often foreigners I think. Many foreigners I guess come to Savonlinna to see if this unusual culture is the right for them.

Pictures of summer cottages etc in Savonlinna area, an internet search
(If you find a place based on it's main professions and most famous happenings, it is likely that you find lots of room for those things there in your life. Like in Savonlinna area the ones building summer cottages etc are highly skilled and shops offer Savonlinna style comfortable furniture and other things needed at home. On the other hand the nature and the basic type of houses is typical to the same climate zone as Finland and maybe also somewhat more southern areas.)
The same kind of charm is in local apartments for sale or for rent, but those are mostly in apartment houses. Often just about all or many of the apartments on some town or district have the same kind of charm which reflects the good sides of the culture there or just it's fascination (with some practical problems left). I would recommend you to make such searches for different charming areas in your own country, to see that it does matter in which village or town you choose to live in.

In Savonlinna district foreigners who like something but maybe not just Savonlinna or Finland, maybe like warm with food, opera & glamour of high skill and feelings, free time and leisurely ways yet lot to learn in a typical visit of less than a day.
Many who like Finland,like here the Finnish nature and the seasons and Finnsh civilized ways & Finnish wisdom even though there are much more criminals in Savonlinna district and Savo (brown, red, (& black)) counties than in Finland (blue, white, (& green, & red spots)) at large, it is said.
Also some from warmer countries maybe like that in Savonlinna the social distance between persons is somewhat personally polite, while in Finland at large it is the distance of civilized education which is a much better distance for winter outdoor skills of skin staying warm.

Savonlinna is a countryside town, a quite small place suurrounded by forests, fields and lakes. But because of the summer time opera festival (and former famous summer time art exhibition near by) and because of the medieval castle in the center of the town, it is as a tourist destination in a quite big class, quite easy to take a look at at the same time on computer as the famous tourist destinations of the world.
