It is a jewel! A secret garden not far from Kandy’s City Center. Beautiful villa full of flowers designed in the way you feel like you are living in a jungle with charming little swimming pool in the middle , rooms are so beautiful! Full of colorful artifacts , masks and other symbols connected to Sri Lanka, very cosy bathroom (shower). If that wasn’t enough owner is most wonderful, most friendly most kind person in Sri Lanka , he was so helpful , guided us with everything, gave us really useful tips about what and when to see , where to go , possibilities of our journey , recommended nice cheap place to eat. This the best place to stay in Kandy!

We booked one night here, and we are staying for an additional four nights. We are delighted with our spacious and very large bathroom. The room is clean, and there is a hot shower. We enjoy sitting on the second-floor balcony in the morning, sipping coffee and enjoying the view. The host takes good care of us and is very friendly.

This is the best place we’ve stayed in all Sri Lanka … but what makes this place even more special is the manager “Yama”… he makes everyone feel like their home and the vibe is unbeatable …. We loved board game night, the price quality ratio is unbeatable and you have groceries, restaurants and easy access into the city center + train station

    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.
