We really enjoyed our visit at this home stay. The owners were very welcoming and really made us feel at home. They made great recommendations for restaurants and places to go around the city and were just really nice to chat to. Breakfast consisted of delicious traditional Sri Lankan food and the home and pool were very clean and well looked after. We would definitely stay again if we return to Sri Lanka.

I had the most wonderful stay at this family beach villa in Sri Lanka. The view was breathtaking, the breakfast was delicious, and the host made me feel truly at home. Their warmth and hospitality were beyond commendable — it felt like staying with family. A peaceful, beautiful getaway that I’ll always cherish. Highly recommended!

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.
