Athulya Villas

Everything is awesome! Hospitality, nature, cosy villas, food - wonderful. To start with, all the staff of the hotel were really friendly and helped with any issue. Our hotel manager Thilan shared his knowledge about different birds, fruits, spices and vegetables in the garden ( and the garden is huge! also they often cook dishes with 100% natural ingredients from their garden). Then Thilan took us on a tour around hotel, where we could see beautiful lake, rice fields, animals and birds. Also, he took us to a beautiful temple and told lots of interesting details about this historic place. I have no words to describe how amazing it was. I highly recommend this hotel because it helps to feel the real hospitality of Sri lankan people 💕

We got 0 negative things

The hospitality of the hosts was amazing. They collected our luggage on arrival and made sure everything in the room was ready. We were the only one staying in the whole property at the time of check-in so we got a VIP treatment. The chef is an amazing cook and the Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing. The chef was really considerate of our food requirements and made sure the food was according to our taste. The property serves halal food.

The main heritage building is stylishly restored, the team is super nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. The fresh and tasty food is prepared with homegrown ingredients (try their curries for dinner!) If you are curious about the spices or or any other plants around you, the manager will be happy to name them for you. Moreover, the hills around the hotel are teeming with life, and there are birds of every kind that the manager will help you recognize if you feel curious. Be prepared to meet bulbuls for breakfast and watch the egrets rise from the rice fields at sunset. In short, if you are looking for some calm away from everything, this is definitely the place.

The wifi coverage can be a bit spotty, but this is a tiny little thing as compared to the beauty of the world around the villas.

The villas are very nice, cozy and clean. The entire property looks amazing, very well maintained. The staff was super friendly and helpful, we had breakfast and dinner on our own terrace, they even helped us with the laundry, free of charge, because the service at the hotel they usually work with was not available at that moment.

The garden is magnificent, the service is exceptional you can’t fault it! Attention to details and to the guests. The staffs go above and beyond to make sure that we are confortable and pleased, I had a cold and he recommended me a steam (in a bowl) which he brought a bowl and some herbs to the room.

Nothing

Very very friendly manager, we got a tour through the fruit and spice garden. Nice swimming pool. The surroundings of the hotel are magnificent. It’s a 30 minute drive from Kandy but so relaxing after a day in a busy and noisy city as Kandy. Love this place!

This is paradise. The staff is wonderfull, the area is great, the cottage is luxe. The food is dilicious. Enjoy the peace, the sounds of the birds and the view all around. We loved the walk to the lake and the info about all the birds and flying squirrels.
