The couple who own / run this place are the pinnacle of Sri Lankan, buddhist friendliness. This artfully decorated villa immediately feels home as soon as you step inside the premise. The hotel room is so beautiful, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious! We recommend this place without reserve to individual travellers who are looking for a very persoable and spiritual experience. BOOK NOW! Paul and Doreen.

The accommodation is nice and clean, it is close to the center. It is owned by a family and the host is really kind and helpful. We stayed in Kandy only for 1 night, so we had only breakfast there, but for us it was a good stay. Thank you!

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
