Situada en Kandy, una ciudad rica en biodiversidad y montañas, Rangala House es una plantación de té convertida en bungalow con amplias vistas y un clima agradable. El bungalow se encuentra encaramado al borde de la cordillera Knuckles, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, por lo que ofrece unas vistas verdes espectaculares. Para unas vacaciones tranquilas y apacibles, lejos del bullicio de la vida urbana, Rangala House, con sus cinco dormitorios, grandes espacios abiertos y amplios jardines, es la elección perfecta.
Rangala House features five bedrooms - three nestled in the main villa and two, 'The Studio' and 'The Breadfruit Room', located adjacent in a separate building. The bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and provide amazing views of the neighbouring panorama.
The main villa bedrooms are furnished with twin or double beds and each of them either offers mesmerising views from the veranda or access to a private garden. The Breadfruit Room is furnished with a double bed and has its own balcony from where you can get a nice view of the mountains. A secret garden and a lounge area complete this otherworldly space. The Studio is the largest room with a private balcony and a large four-poster double bed that leads to an additional double bed that can be accessed via a ladder.
Ubicada en medio de una plétora de follaje y flora tropical, la piscina infinita de tamaño libre de Rangala House es un lugar idílico para relajarse. Puede relajarse en la piscina y contemplar la espectacular zona de bosque que domina el primer plano. La discreta belleza de este refugio natural brilla a través de las indómitas colinas verdes. Un pabellón con techo de paja se alza majestuoso junto a la piscina, con sillas de exterior para que pueda seguir observando el cambio de colores del cielo, el balanceo de los árboles con el viento y la serenidad que envuelve a la región, en paz.
Diseñada con un estilo que recuerda a una cabaña de madera en las montañas, Rangala House cuenta con colores apagados, interiores de madera, una chimenea de piedra y muchos asientos cómodos para unas vacaciones realmente relajantes. Disfrute de las vistas desde el porche de 15 metros, amueblado con sillas, una zona de comedor al aire libre y un sofá. La zona de estar es acogedora y hogareña, por lo que no tendrá problemas para acomodarse. Hay un rincón que es la sala de estar dedicada a los medios de comunicación con asientos de felpa y un televisor para su entretenimiento. Los interiores tradicionales y clásicos le harán retroceder en el tiempo y le encantará la interminable mezcla de naturaleza con vida tradicional.
La zona de comedor, que forma parte de la cocina bien iluminada y totalmente equipada, cuenta con una barra de desayuno con taburetes para sentarse, por lo que un divertido desayuno con todos será el comienzo de su día de aventuras. Siempre se puede optar por cenar al aire libre frente a las impresionantes vistas. La cocina cuenta con todas las comodidades, incluyendo un microondas, una batidora, un armario para vinos, etc.
El personal es amable y cordial con los huéspedes y estará encantado de hacerles sugerencias, recomendarles lugares para visitar e incluso organizar paseos por la cordillera si lo solicitan. Se pueden contratar los servicios de un chófer para que le lleve por la ciudad y se puede solicitar un chef personal para experimentar la cocina de Sri Lanka como nunca antes.
This serene spot of heaven is marked by the Knuckles range where a hike would nothing short of spectacular. Walk along the tea plantations for delicious aromas and a tryst with nature. If you're in for a laidback holiday, then this special home in Kandy is your place.
10/10We stayed here for 2 nights during a 2 week tour around Sri Lanka. Set in a magical setting overlooking the Knuckles mountain range, this place is extremely special. Small boutique hotel with lots of charm. We did "Charlies walk" from the hotel. A 3 hour walk around the local hills and villages. The views are stunning and the locals are so friendly. Also well worth walking down the road for 10 minutes to the local cloth making factory. A few ladies making cloth on traditional looms. We had so much fun with them. They are happy for you to take photos and let you have a go on the looms. You can also buy their products such as sorongs, table napkins etc. which are lovely authentic souvenirs. This place is also excellent for doing a day trip to Knuckles mountains. It is a bit over priced at USD 40 pp for half a day but that seems to be the going rate. The highlight though must have been the food. The chef there is professionally trained and the food was the best we had on the whole trip. Do not hesitate to choose this place, it is extra special.
10/10Situated about an hour out of Kandy, this is an alternative to the day-long trip to Newara Elia to see tea plantations and enjoy some mountain air. It is an old house that has been converted to a small hotel with fairly basic rooms, but an astonishingly beautiful outlook. They provide lunch on request (need to book ahead to ensure there is space) and what we had was superb - a large and very tasty quiche, plus several dishes of vegetables and salad (enough to feed several people) plus a delightful ice cream and rhubarb dish for desert and coffee, all for about AUD20 per head. We would have paid that for the view alone, sitting on the broad terrace looking out over the expansive valley in the cool of the shaded verandah.

10/10We stayed at Rangala for two nights and loved it. Our room was simple but very comfortable, and opened onto the wonderful deck with views forever. Sam and his staff were friendly, very natural and eager to help at all times. A delight. The recommended walks through the tea plantations were excellent, the best we had in Sri Lanka. We will remember them for a long time. Eating on the deck with the other guests was very enjoyable. Sebastian's food was top-class, with the wild boar casserole a highlight of my husband's trip. A great escape among the tea plantations, and great value for money. We would love to go back.
10/10My two friends and I spent two nights here and enjoyed every moment. We shared one room and found the bedroom spacious and very comfortable. Everything about our stay was perfect. We had spent the previous two weeks travelling round Sri Lanka so wanted some peace, quiet and comfort before we flew back to Ireland and Rangala House provided all of these in spades. The location is spectacular and the view from the veranda just amazing. The house has been beautifully restored with great taste shown in every aspect of the decor ( there are well-stocked bookshelves as well). The final cherry on the cake was the swimming pool where we were able to cool down after our walks. The garden is a delight as well - beautifully maintained and carefully planted and full of bird life! Walking through the tea estates was one of the highlights of our stay here and Sam gave us great printed directions which made getting lost impossible, We liked to get up really early and go for a walk ranging from 1 1/2 to 3 hours before it got too hot - then we would come back to a gorgeous breakfast on the veranda. We spotted some very unusual birds on these walks - but had to keep an eye out for leeches in the long grass! No mosquitoes though at this altitude. Sam and his staff were courteous, charming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The cook in particular was first class and we enjoyed all of our delicious meals eaten on the veranda. All in all, Rangala House was everything we had hoped it would be and I just hope some day I can go back and sample its delights all over again!
