We couldn’t have picked a better place to start our Sri Lanka trip! The home is beautiful, the rooms are modern, comfortable, and clean! The best part of our stay was definitely meeting Glenn, Fiona and Sita! Glenn was soooo helpful in giving us recommendations for our trip as we didn’t have anything planned out. Glenn and Fiona went above and beyond in helping us even after we left their place. They are genuinely so caring and kind-hearted :) Glenn even gave us a ride to the train station early in the morning as we couldn’t get a tuk tuk in time. The breakfast was also delicious!

    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.
