This place is amazing and decorated with taste, it’s like heaven, the owners Chana and Moon are just amaaaazing, sooo helpful and lovely, it’s really a place where you feel home far from home, you can ask them also for a tuktuk if your are staying for few days and want to see everything in a short time, I was with Gihan for 3 days and this driver is just a gem, except the fact that he knows, he is also kind and a very good photographer hahahahha, so if you are passing by Kandy, I definitely recommend villa olde for the stay and gihan for visiting around ❤️, thank you all for making my stay unforgettable that exceeded my expectations

Edwin was an exceptional host! He was incredibly thoughtful, especially with our infant, and ensured milk was arranged in advance as requested. He provided excellent guidance on activities to do in Kandy, making our trip even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delightful, offering us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The property itself is charming, with a lovely garden that attracts adorable birds and squirrels, adding a touch of magic to the day. Edwin was highly responsive and quick to address any concerns, ensuring our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
