“Kühles Plätzchen in den Bergen”
Exceptionally beautiful location; if the weather had been better, we would certainly have had a great view. The staff are very friendly and flexible; at our request, we were able to have breakfast outside. It has a certain style ;)

“Sleeping in a castle in Sri Lanka”
A small castle with spacious, clean rooms and beautiful views of the valley below, just over a five-minute tuk-tuk ride from the city center. It also offers breakfast, which you can order directly there. The staff are very welcoming and helpful.

“Amazing!! Would definitely book again. Wish we stayed longer.”
We absolutely loved it. We had the whole castle to ourselves. The rooms are super spacious and the bathroom was amazing. The host was so accomodating, helped us with organising travel into town. Breakfast was amazing, we couldn’t eat it all but was delicious. The welcome drink was tea from the local area and it was so delicious. It was super clean and smelled amazing. I would book it again in a heartbeat. Thank you to all the staff!!
