“Everything perfect”
The host was really kind. The area was among the best areas in Sri Lanka. From the rooftop of the property we could have a 360 view of Kandy and the nearby hills

“Lovely host in clean and comfortable residence”
Lovely kind host with a personally made breakfast. The rooms are large and clean with good beds. This is extremely good value. The property is not in the centre but has good views and helps to have a driver to get you there. Remember also to pay in cash. Maybe best value for money anywhere and a great stay.

“A hidden gem in the misty hills of Kandy — truly feels like home!”
Staying at Vista House Kandy was one of the highlights of our trip — it felt less like accommodation and more like being welcomed into a warm, loving home. From the moment we arrived, Waruni made us feel like family. Her genuine hospitality is a true reflection of the kindness and warmth Sri Lanka is known for. The property itself is a beautiful house nestled amidst the misty hills, with a peaceful running stream nearby that added to the serene, nature-filled atmosphere. Our room was spotlessly clean and had an elegant antique charm that made it unique and cozy. Waking up to the breathtaking views of Kandy town and the surrounding mountains was simply unforgettable. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of — the room was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast was both nutritious and delicious. Waruni even made sure to accommodate our personal preferences, which we appreciated deeply. We also enjoyed relaxing in the common area and using the kitchen when we needed. The balcony with its comfortable seating became our favourite spot — sipping a hot drink while watching the mist roll in was magical. The beds were very comfortable, and the Wi-Fi connection was strong throughout our stay. Although the house is about a 10-minute drive from Kandy town, we found it well worth it for the peace and beauty of the surroundings. Having your own vehicle is convenient, but ride services like Uber and PickMe are also easily available. Overall, Vista House has truly become our favourite place to stay in Kandy, and we are already looking forward to returning on our next holiday. If you’re seeking a tranquil, homely experience with authentic Sri Lankan hospitality, look no further. Highly recommended!
