10/10Breakfast was generous with 2 choices: continental and 'local'. We only went for the continental which was very nice: fresh fruits, fresh juice, slice of delicious bread and eggs + sausages. We pretty much liked everything: service, location, view, food...

10/10The villa is amazing, with a beautiful pool with a view, great staff and delicious food. I felt like a valued guest, who is being taken care of with pleasure. Everything is new, clean and cozy, many small details that create a special atmosphere. Delicious food and good wine. In the bar, tea and coffee from the coffee machine are unlimited and free. The place in the jungle is very picturesque, and only 5 minutes drive to the coast, the staff easily organizes a tuk-tuk. The payment terminal works depending on your mood, it’s better to stock up on cash.

10/10Absolutely incredible property with the most lovely staff! The staff helped us with anything we needed and were so kind to us and our baby. We stayed in a villa that was separate to the main house which was perfect for our little family. Oh and the food that the manager made was the best food we had in Sri Lanka! Have the chicken curry for dinner!
10/10A treat in the middle of greenery. Superb location and building history of the Villa. It was really a wonderful place to stay. Food is very tasty, best Chicken Kottu tried in Sri Lanka.

10/10For our first trip in Sri Lanka, we could not expect more. The villa is beautiful, the employees are always smiling and friendly. Special recognition to "Doni" the cooker and her incredible seefood. Organization was excellent : Scooter rent, safari trip, Adam's peak excursion and much more. Swimming pool in the middle of the jungle , close to monkeys and Peacock. The place to go, without hesitation.
