The operation of Saimazar was set up in 2006 under a business name. Saimazar Ltd was registered in April 2008. Our appreciation for Saimaa waters and natural beauty brought us to Puumala. After seeing the world, Puumala has become our dear home base. We hope we can help newcomers and cottage owners to settle down and find their own “niche” on Saimaa.
