“A piece of paradise”

We loved every minute of our stay. The beautiful garden, pool and outside eating area, the open architecture of the house, and most of all the wonderful staff. The food provided was all exceptional and great value. Jayantha and the ladies looked after us and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we asked for. Definitely do the boat tour of the lake. We hope to be back!

“A wonderful, relaxed break enjoyed by all. Jayantha and the ladies looked after us perfectly.”

Breakfast was fabulous as was the house and grounds.

“Amazing private villa! A holiday in itself”

The villa was fantastic, stunning views, amazing to wake up to in the morning. The staff who are there all day make some amazing food. We really enjoyed the breakfast sitting outside under the shade. The family loved the swimming pool having it available all the time was great. Jayantha was also available to help if needed.

“The most beautiful place I have ever stayed in my life - can't recommend Madampe House highly enough”

I stayed at Madampe House for 11 nights in November with 3 other friends. Prior to our arrival, I corresponded with Jayantha and Alistair who jointly own Madampe House, with Jayantha acting as manager. They responded very quickly and were extremely helpful. Jayantha had arranged for us to be collected by minibus from Columbo along with 2 other friends and our lovely driver took us to Madampe House. On arrival, we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of Madampe House and its gardens. Jayantha was there to meet us along with the 2 girls who would be looking after us during our stay. The girls had prepared the most delicious Sri Lankan dinner for all of us upon our arrival, which we ate in the beautiful gardens. The rooms were absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean. Throughout the trip, the girls would do all our laundry and return it to us ironed. They would also serve us delicious nibbles and fruit juices made from the fruit in the garden. They did absolutely everything for us and always with beautiful, genuine smiles. The view looking from the house into the garden was absolutely stunning – a view you would never get bored of. The gardener took such great care of the garden. The pool was cleaned every morning and was refreshingly cool. Every morning, we were served a delicious breakfast, including fresh fruit form the garden, fresh bread, as well as various different types of breakfast including egg hoppers, banana pancakes, etc. I would recommend getting the girls to cook for you, food better than any restaurant and perfectly seasoned. We had full body massages at the house by Sasantha Weeraddana. The wildlife is just amazing. Monitor lizards, kingfishers, mongoose, etc. As the sun went down, 100’s of huge bats would fly over. Madampe House is the most beautiful place to stay and I fully intend going back in a couple of years to celebrate my 60th birthday,

“Perfect place, perfect hosts. They deserve to be fully booked.”

Stunning surroundings and a very thoughtfully designed house to maximise natural environment. All meals were exceptional, even better and cheaper than the best restaurants we found on the island. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful while allowing you as much privacy as you need. Communication before arrival was friendly, quick and accurate. Jayantha and his team do an exceptional job and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to relax and be well looked after.
