Fantastic stay

We couldn’t have made a better choice! Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, and the garden and pool were the perfect places to relax and unwind after exploring Sigiriya. We truly felt at home throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sigiriya. Thank you so much for making our stay so special!

The best place we stayed in Sri Lanka, without a doubt. The rooms are perfect, so clean and gorgeous. The pool and surroundings are just fantastic. This was also the best food we ate the entire time we were away. The family are so welcoming and helpful, we felt like an extension of their family. The curry is so amazing, it has to be experienced. Thank you so much for having us, we cannot wait to return

Loved every minute!

Having covered some ground across Sri Lanka, we found this property very unique. A Family run business in a beautiful property.

There are a few areas that could enhance the overall experience. Firstly, I found the main front desk rep to be somewhat snooty and hesitant to assist guests. A more welcoming demeanor, accompanied by a friendly smile, would go a long way in creating a positive atmosphere. It's important for staff to engage with guests warmly and be approachable, as this can significantly impact the overall impression of the establishment. We were relieved that we only had two nights here, as the villa was not very comfortable. A random bath sits in the primary space where perhaps a dressing table or mirror could be placed instead. Additionally, the bathroom is large enough to be redesigned to make it more functional. There are also random steps across the villa, which pose a risk of tripping. While I understand the theme the family was aiming for, I don’t think they quite hit the mark. Overall, a little more attention to guest interactions and the design of the space could elevate the experience at this lovely location.
