The property was located on the hill with an amazing view and surrounded by nature. The staff was incredible friendly and accommodating. The place was spotless with great size rooms and very comfortable beds. Stayed two nights there and everything was great. Also great food, although I believe that should focus more on their local cuisine (but this is just me!). Overall very very happy!

Our first stay in Sri Lanka was at this cozy villa, and it made our holiday start on a high note. The place is super comfy, set in a peaceful oasis. Although it's a bit far from the city center and takes a 15-minute tuk-tuk ride to get there, this is actually an advantage as it offers a quiet escape from the busy city. The food at Villa Rosa is absolutely delicious (the best we've tried in Sri Lanka actually). Our room was clean and comfortable, with a big terrace and amazing views. And of course a biiig thank you to the super professional and friendly staff :)

The room could be a little darker as curtains don’t block all light

Friendliness and helpfulness of the owner and staff Views Good value for money

If they'd exchange the plastic water bottles for the filtered water that we got in most other places in Sri Lanka, it would make our stay even better!

This was our second stay at Villa Rosa in less than a year - it's safe to say that it is one of our favourite places in Sri Lanka. Arriving felt like coming home and the kind staff made sure that our stay was just as comfortable and memorable as the first one. We enjoyed the delicious curries, spent some relaxing time by the pool enjoying the view onto the Mahaweli with a sundowner and even got an introduction into Sri Lankan cooking! The rooms are just as beautiful as the location itself. We'll definitely be back the next chance we get!

What a delightful property! Perfectly situated high above the river with a fabulous pool, delicious food and a knowledgeable and kind owner who looked after us as old friends. We absolutely loved it!

My only comment would be there weren’t always enough sun beds around the pool for the number of guests

Everything about this property was brilliant. The views were incredible, the staff were all so considerate and helpful, and all the food was amazing - some of the best curries we had on our whole trip. It really felt like a home away from home and they were so accommodating when we wanted to stay an extra night.

There isn’t anything we disliked about this place.

What a fabulous place! The moment you walk into the Villa you get the wow factor. You’re instantly hit with the view and it’s breathtaking. The staff are so friendly and polite and cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. We’d booked the standard double room as it was the only one available and it was amazing. Large, spacious with great AC and very comfortable. The pool was a game changer and so refreshing after a days sightseeing in the Sri Lankan heat. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kandy. Thank you to the staff for making our first stop in Sri Lanka an unforgettable one, we’ll definitely be back!

Upon entering Villa Rosa, there is an instant feeling of calm and tranquillity. We were travelling with our two adult children and had booked the family suite. We were greeted with fresh juices and shown to our gorgeous terrace. The service is first class and nothing is too much trouble. The property has a homely yet stylish vibe, and is the perfect escape from the crazy heat of Kandy town. The infinity pool is breathtaking and the food served for dinner is superb. I would return to this hotel in a heartbeat. It’s a pleasure to stay in a hotel knows how to get it just right. Lastly, there is a free tuktuk to run you into town, but it’s lovely to come home again. Thank you Villa Rosa we will be back.

- amazing location, tucked away from busy Kandy but still easy to reach (be in on a very steep hill). - great pool with views from over the river valley - wonderful staff - very clean - excellent food

It’s a little bit far out of Kandy but that’s not really a problem since the hotel provides a drop off in town free of charge.

The property is absolutely beautiful with stunning views, amazing food and really friendly staff. The rooms are really nice too and we enjoyed having a swim in the pool.

Staff were very good at arranging things for us, but this could turn out expensive, for example the car cost he offered for our onward trip was double what we actually paid when we got our own driver. Also I asked to go to the local mall and was taken to a very overpriced tourist fabric house, heavy sell. Was told that was my best option but found what I was looking for afterwards ( and after spending unnecessarily). In-house massage also expensive and very average. Should mention that this is also one booking we got scam request, can’t help feeling something not right in-house. Not a lot of option to hang out wet towels or swimwear.

Beautiful house and beautiful location, with a much longed for cooling breeze. Host Volker is an absolute gent, very attentive and chilled. Rooms are comfortable snd very tasteful. Food here are typically tasty and always an option at mealtimes of western or Sri Lankan (although if you prefer SL the choice is same each day).

Getting to the hotel the road was quite steep. It also meant that getting into town was not an easy option but, it was not a problem for us. That said, a soulless into town would be a good addition. The pool whilst sensational, had limited seating around it.

We had an awesome room at the top of the hotel with spectacular views across the mountains and fields. The chef there prepared one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka and the facilities in the room were second to none.

Fabulously done! A lovely retreat in the hills yet close to Kandy. Great food, lovely room (with a bath on the balcony!) and welcoming.

There is nothing to dislike.

A impressive property. The room was nicely furnished and very comfortable. We were greeted by the owner who showed us over the property and explained the facilities. There is a lovely pool in the beautifully maintained garden. We ate breakfast and dinner, both of which were served on the terrace and were more than adequate. The service was excellent.

The VIEWS! They were amazing. They had filtered water out of a cooler which was really handy. The food was incredible, our best meal in Srilanka so far. The staff were super kind and helpful.
