The location was even so pretty that multiple wedding photoshoots were held while we stayed. So the extra bonus was that we saw some beautiful couples and amazing sarees.

1. Very good for a warm and impressive welcome from the owner 2. Quiet and not chaotic for a person who like a lot of privacy 3. The peaceful atmosphere of staying here allowed me to spend time meditating in the room before returning to Thailand 4. I was impressed by the auntie. Even though she couldn't speak English, but her body language was cute and she felt a lot of warmth in welcoming tourists 5. From the house to the main road, I will see many shops, but it takes time to walk 6. The sanitary ware looks good, tasteful and clean, the water strength is good and comfortable

    This place was built for honourable reasons, once intended to support the local community. It's well explained in a brochure in the villa. I think this is no more the case, maybe the villa was sold to other people?

    Me and my fiancé spent 2 nights at Orchid villa. The room was very clean. The hosts were kind and helpful. They gave us good recommendations for restaurant and we loved it so much that we kept going to the same restaurant for dinner, lunch and breakfast. Location is little bit further from tourist places what gives you a chance to connect with locals and enjoy real Sri Lanka.
