"A une quarantaine de minutes du centre de Kandy, cette superbe demeure coloniale au charme suranné surplombant une vallée vierge constitue un véritable havre de paix, aux antipodes du tumulte de la ville. David et Michael, les propriétaires des lieux, l’ont magnifiquement aménagée en rajoutant des touches art déco. Le mobilier et les objets vintage, l’ambiance musicale, les nombreuses oeuvres d'art exposées et la sérénité des lieux vous font remonter le temps. La cuisine proposée est...

"The bedroom was comfortable and I had a good nights sleep. The bathroom was extremely damp and mouldy. Overall abit of a tired hotel. Staff are nice but couldn’t help me much with my issues or questions. There is a nice pool but a large party playing loud music and drinking had been allowed to sit by the pool so it felt uncomfortable to use the pool when I arrived. I paid more for a “Mountain View” room but I was told that didn’t really exist so I wouldn’t advise booking that and paying more...
