The surrounding are spectacular, filled with lakes, rice fields and animals." - "Perfect travel destination for nature lovers." - "A Hidden Gem of Tranquility and Hospitality I recently had the pleasure of staying at this truly remarkable hotel, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth by the staff, who were consistently friendly, polite, and highly professional throughout my stay. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort. One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, which was served directly to my room each morning. It was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to start the day. What truly sets this hotel apart is its breathtaking natural setting. Surrounded by lush paddy fields, vibrant vegetable gardens, tranquil lakes, and a variety of trees, the environment is peaceful and deeply rejuvenating. It offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature while enjoying modern comforts. This hotel is truly a hidden gem. I was surprised to find that it wasn’t fully booked, as it certainly deserves more recognition. With some additional marketing efforts and stronger social media presence, I believe it could reach the wider audience it so richly deserves. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a serene retreat with exceptional service and a touch of authentic local charm."

Listen to the chirps and songs at sunrise and observe an amazing variety of rare and colorful birds in this alluringand cozy atmosphere in tranquil surroundings. Experience the warmth and uniqueness of a family’s own house, immerse in the local habits and culture by participating in the daily life of a local. Eat their local food, ask for a cooking lesson, learn how to cook a complete meal on firewood in a traditional old kitchen built in the 19 th century, go back home and serve your friends at home your favorite “local dish” or take the trails the locals take and let the journey through this sweet and short beautiful place remain as memories to a traveler be cherished. A trip to the Kandyan Manor is an opportunity to feast on its rich, melting- pot cuisine, prepared by Suzy and her team. Two large rooms carefully furnished and decorated to fit as a double, triple or a family of four on request, preserving its charm, blending it to a touch of old and new décor.

- "I stayed in a cottage that surrounds the garden. The other rooms I saw were very nice and furnished with lovely antique furniture. The dining room faces the jungle and has a beautiful view.

I also took a cooking class with Suzy and the food was very delicious." - "Thank you guys for such an exceptional Lankan home to stay at. Everything was amazing!

- "The photos and the reviews do not do the location justice. The staff is making everything much better. We ate there twice in our 2 nights stay and the chef made things that were not in the menu at our request as we were lucky enough to be the only visitors then. It was probably the best food we had in Sri Lanka. They villa is very well mantained and the entire staff works very hard to make your stay perfect. The city was not a hit for us, so we spent most of the time at the location and we loved it."
