Absolutely everything was perfect! The property is stunningly beautiful, the breakfast was incredible, the bed was honestly the best hotel bed we had anywhere in Sri Lanka, the room was spacious with excellent fan and AC, great water pressure in the shower, but the staff are the the true highlight. Everyone we met was so incredibly kind and hospitable - Buddika, Nilanka, and the younger gents whose names I should have asked but didn’t. They even upgraded our room free of charge as the hotel was quiet when we stayed. Overall I could not recommend this property highly enough, it was by far our favourite hotel anywhere in Sri Lanka. 10/10, just book it!

“Exceptional boutique hotel with stunning views, great amenities and lovely staff!”
Villa Rosa is an exceptional boutique hotel. We stayed in the main building (honeymoon suite) and couldn’t have imagined a better stay. The staff were so attentive, kind and genuine, we felt very well looked after. The hotel also looks after two well behaved dogs (who are not the dogs you might occasionally hear barking at night). The breakfast was delicious, and dinner was very tasty. We would highly recommend setting aside an afternoon or morning to relax at the hotel as this place deserves to be enjoyed. It is quiet and away from the bustling city of Kandy - it’s up a steep hill and also means it’s not walkable distance. This wasn’t an issue at all for us and hotel has a complementary tuktuk service to the city, which we appreciated. Overall, a perfect stay, highly recommend!

“A comfortable stay in a very beautiful area with extremely kind staff.”
Great communication with Melanie before we arrived. We were 2 adults travelling with 2 children (3 years and 10 months). Melanie, Hanthana and Sachin were extremely kind and very understanding of our 3 years challenging behaviour! The food cooked by chef George was great and Melanie even stepped on one morning to cook us chocolate pancakes which weren’t on the menu and delighted our 3 year old boy! We took a 1.5 hour hike around the area and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

“Stunning location, great food and accommodation”
The location is stunning. If you are driving yourself, it’s tricky but worth it and you get used to it. The staff were all lovely. For me the best breakfast in Sri Lanka. Tour of the kitchen was a nice touch. Rooms in the main building would be preferred but not exclusively.

“Villa Rosa”
Set in attractive gardens with fabulous views the website depicts the property well, the food is very good and fresh and well served. Our room in the annex was comfortable, nicely decorated with a lovely balcony although the plants were dead. The view is stunning but the dogs in the area barked for much of the night although they could not be heard from the main house rooms.

The views are lovely, the gardens are well maintained, the balcony is a great spot for eating your meals. The food was freshly prepared and tasty, we enjoyed the Sri Lankan rice and curries. The staff were friendly and helpful and responded to any requests. We would highly recommend staying there.

“Rustic and charming”
The view and pool were incredible, it was very peaceful after being in Kandy town for a day. The main villa was charming and the food was great. The staff were wonderful, and helped us to arrange a car and give us advice on what to do and see, and even packed us some breakfast when we had to leave early in the morning. The complimentary tuk tuk to town was a really nice touch.
