AMAZING… everything was just perfect, it exceeded expectations. Such a beautiful colonial style building restored with great quality furniture, design and great attentions to details. I don t have enough place here to express how great we felt. We were the only guests (our group) which made the experience even better. And the pool.. super clean, with amazing view. Take a tour around the property on the trails, it is amazing. - very confortable and large rooms; - food was also amazing, great breakfast, also din er we tried local food, very good. - it is a secluded location, in the middle of nature, away from traffic and crowds, so enjoy it at its best Mr Angelo was very nice and explained everything And the library ❤️ All of us loved our stay here! By the way: the detailed photos from booking are extremely accurate.

First of all, location. Stunning nature view in each place of the hotel territory. You can enjoy it from room, from swimming pool, walking around tea plantation or on the way to waterfall.😍 One of the best food I tried in Sri Lanka - here. Especially, breakfast is big and delicious 🤤 Extremely good staff, who helps you with everything. The service is on a good high level quality. One of the guy from team was really gorgeous on telling interesting stories about Sri Lanka, some plants and animals, as well as was kind to be our guide to the waterfall, which made our stay much more interesting

Our stay was absolutely incredible. The setting in Sri Lanka’s lush “foliage” is breathtaking, and the way the architecture blends into the landscape is not only beautiful but simply genius. We felt an overwhelming sense of peace from the moment we arrived. The Ayurvedic treatments and wellness programs were life-changing, and the team are so positive and treated us with so much kindness and thoughtfulness. The food was beyond amazing—every meal was filled with such flavour. Santani gave us everything we needed to truly sought to reconnect and release going into the new year. It’s a place that feels magical, and we can’t wait to come back.
