This place is stunningly beautiful! It's an oasis of tranquility and wellness very close to the city centre. As soon as you walk in you will be overwhelmed by the amazing artwork and the amazing style of the villa. Didn't find anything comparable to this hidden gem! It's just next level. The owner is super kind and makes you feel like a king/queen. Grazie mille fratello!

Very clean room, very nice and huge bathroom. You can almost get lost in the bathroom ;-). The owner is super friendly and eager to tell you all about Kandy and a lot more. The breakfast is served on a big balcony and it tastes wonderfull! Great place to stay, easy walk to the city center.

This guest house was such a cozy and authentic place! Beautifully, very authentically decorated, super clean, white linen, hot water in the shower - I couldnt expect more for my one night stay. It is in a very good place also - absolutely central, no climbing included, just a very short walk straight to the lake, temple, and cafes (Java lounge has a superb cooffee!). Also, I was absolutely impressed by the owner lady - such a beautiful, warm, aristocratic-like woman, offering me tea on arrival (its a real shame I didnt have time for it!). She spoke just perfect English and spread this amazing energy ❤️ All the best for you all!

My favourite place that I have stayed in so far in my journey around Sri Lanka. A beautiful building up in the hills with amazing views from the balcony and just a very short tuk tuk journey away. The breakfast is amazing and healthy, there was so much that I saved some for my lunch. If you like hiking, there is a nice peaceful walk to help you walk off some of the breakfast before exploring Kandy. The owner was also very helpful in offering advice during my stay

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Kandy. The room was spacious and very clean, including the washroom which was well maintained and stocked with shampoo and body wash. The hot shower was excellent—just what I needed after a long day. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, which made my stay even more pleasant. The garden was a real highlight, full of fruit trees like avocado, mango, and banana. In the morning, I loved watching birds and squirrels visit the trees—it was such a peaceful and beautiful experience. Thank you for the lovely hospitality. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

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.
