The property was built in 2021 and features accommodation with a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

Unfortunately my friend and I were not able to really enjoy the comforts of this place because we were so busy running around Ella. However, the homestay owners were the friendliest, the view was breathtaking, and I loved how quiet it was. The shower had hot water, the place was so clean (and so is the town!), and the beds with the mosquito net made me feel like a princess. Be mindful of animals.

    We had a very nice stay at Dolape villa. It is a beautiful place with lot of character and authenticity in the middle of nature. There was lot of rain in SL and the area that week so we could not enjoy the place fully, including the pool. If you are looking for quiet and peaceful place outside the busy Ella and in the middle of nature, this place is for you. The road to access is bit bumpy as advertised but the guest house can assist anytime to arrange tuk tuk. The owner and his family are very kind and took good care of us.
