Villa Olde Ceylon is situated in a semi-urban area with the most beautiful natural surroundings.In this beautiful place I got three alternative rooms to make my choice and enjoy my independence.Although it is located in a semi-urban area I was able to witness a green and a calm surrounding. And the owner of this will is a very friendly person who can handle English, French and Italian languages.The delicious food that were prepared by them were typical Sri lankan and they had a unique recipe for that.It was a fine day.

Without any doubt it was the best stay of our trip. The house owner is an extremely humble man. He has a cute little family living at the villa too which gives such a homely and safe feeling. His little girl Chloe was our favorite part of the stay we miss her so much. The property owner cooperated with us to an extreme extent. He even gave us complimentary pancakes for our anniversary. He was so fast in replying to our messages. He guided us on every step. Because of him, our Kandy stay became perfect!

Room was spotless and extremely tranquil. I wish I had stayed there longer, since I slept there so well. The owner was really friendly and helpful, he organised us airport pick up and was eager to explain how we could get to the next destination of our trip. Also, the breakfast was delicious. Overall it was very good experience.

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.
