“We were mind blown by this stay! Definitely recommend!”
Beautiful landscapes, view from the back yard, view from the rooms, the fact that it is on a hill made the sunrise watching even more magical. The range of sitting areas, to chill, read a book or just rest in the shade. The beautiful garden with many beautiful trees. Amazing pool, with clean water! And the staff, was the loveliest most helpful staff I ever encountered. They helped us with every little step in our stay. Anything we needed, they helped us and even more. We are so grateful, thank you!

“Great staff”
The Manager and the staff were one of the best I have ever met in my travelling life, I have been to many places and the staff here is exceptional. The breakfast was great and delicious. As well as dinner. The room was comfortable and tidy the same with the whole villa. The staff can drive you to the nearest shop and the beach also picks you up if you need. The location is up a hill which is a great exercise for us to go up. Carana beach is nearby which is a wonderful place. The bus station is also nearby.

The property is located next to some of the most prettiest beaches of the island. The views are amazing and the pool is a perfect way to cool off on a hot day. The friendly staff took such a great care of me and helped with any issues/concerns I had. Will be back.

“Very friendly and easy going. Clean and comfortable. Lovely beach right down at the street side.”
You really feel like home there. Aileen was Most charmant Lady and Raj was always helping in every situation. The chicken Curry was delicious. Car rental was easy managed by the hotel too and they have a shutter service to take you and pick you up from the main road.

“Excellent.”
From the moment we arrived late ish we we greeted with nothing but kindness and helpfulness. Nothing was too much trouble from Matthew welcoming and settling us in to Raj’s delicious breakfasts to Ramesh always being around to help us in after a day on the beach or just offering a friendly helping hand with pretty much anything and all this overseen by the watchful eye of Eileen, owner and grand dame. Comfortable spacious accommodation typical of what would be expected from a 4 star establishment, great locally sourced food, magnificent position with spectacular views, beautiful pool. Peaceful quiet and restful atmosphere combined with good service and great food and efficient and friendly staff, made it a very pleasant snd stress free stay. Highly recommended.
