Eresha and her family's hospitality was a true blessing. Their home, meticulously clean and wonderfully cozy, offered us a haven amidst the beauty of nature. With every detail attended to, from the tidy rooms to the serene surroundings, our stay was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Eresha went above and beyond to assist us with transit, sorting out SIM cards, and providing guidance on local attractions. And let's not forget about the food – it was absolutely incredible, a delicious reflection of her generosity and hospitality.

    We had a one night stay and Satheesh was an incredible and an extremely helpful host. The whole ambience along with the antique style architecture added up to the experience! We booked a pool and garden view room and I must say the morning was absolutely beautiful despite the villa being located in the middle of the Colombo city. The villa has a homely vibe to it and lucky for us, my partner and I were the only guests! Will definitely come for another wonderful stay at this hidden gem.

    This place was built for honourable reasons, once intended to support the local community. It's well explained in a brochure in the villa. I think this is no more the case, maybe the villa was sold to other people?
