    Nice Apartment with an amazing view of sri lankans beautiful nature, perfect to calm down. A river is passing near by where you can take a swim. The owner and her family are super nice, heartwarming people, the food is delicious- we would definitely recommend this place!

    What a seriously magical place! Coming from busy Colombo and finally breathing again in the middle of those giantic green mountains. The little house we were living in was the ideal place to calm down, to relax and to reconnect with the beauty of nature. No pool? No problem! The fresh water stream with crystal clear and cooling water (which is 1min by feet far of the accommodation) is way better than every pool we could have asked for. With little curious fishes inside, that will give you a normally expensive paid treatment. In the area are also waterfalls and plenty of possibility to hike. But come with a scooter or anything, otherwise you will depending on tuk tik, which is neither a problem, as there are always plenty of them waiting to bring you anywhere. But what we really loved the most is the beautiful manager, that became within 2 days like a friend. A young well english speaking and always caring, lady that lives with her family over there. As I was sick when I arrived she prepared even an ayurvedic treatment for me, a hot inhalation with herbs of the property. Another day she joined us for a little exploration and acted as our personal photographer. We had so much fun! And we seriously gonna miss her and her amazing property. Her mom is the cooking chef and performs every breakfast and dinner some magic in the kitchen. They also cared for some special requests and I enjoyed all the food they served us sooooo much! Thankyou for everything again. Toni and Pat

    Nothing

    The rooms are actually individual chalets built on a steep hillside that drops down to a beautiful little river. It’s a short walk down to the river or up to the dining area via well-formed steps. The location is truly stunning and so peaceful. You are surrounded by jungle-covered hills that are full of birdlife and monkeys. I was only going to stop for a night on my way back to Colombo but ended up staying an extra night because I loved it here so much. I could have stayed here for weeks to be honest - I think it’s the best place I’ve stayed on my 3-week trip. The location is amazing but even that was outshone by the the friendliness of the hosts - Rangi and her parents are wonderful. Rangi is a very intelligent abd delightful young lady who really can’t do enough for you, her father will regale you with his stories of climbing mountains and her mother will cook you many wonderful Sri Lankan dishes - be warned, you will leave the table very full!

    We had such a great time at White Villa. Rangi helped us with arranging everything we needed and we did some nice activities like rafting and a jungle trek. The view from the room is absolutely amazing and it is such a beautiful, calm place to stay close to nature. We really liked the natural pool which was just 1 minute away and the room was spatious and comfortable as well. Everyday they cooked delicious Srilankan dinners for us and we felt very welcome and comfortable. Thanks so much for everything, could not have wished for a better stay!

    The host was very supportive. Provided delicious meals with a wide variety. There are few natural pools nearby with easy and private access. The location has a nice view with a quiet surrounding. It's conveniently situated just 5 to 10 minutes away from Kitulgala, allowing easy access to all the adventurous activities this area has to offer. If you are a person who would love a homely stay by being closer to nature, this would be an ideal stay.

    There was an ant problem, thankfully it was isolated to the bathroom so no big deal. You’re in the jungle so it would be hard to keep bugs out. Also no WiFi. Everything else was great value for your money though.

    Beautiful location, lovely bungalow nestled amongst the jungle canopy, overlooking the river with an amazing swimming hole/ lagoon 2 min walk from the location. Location also conveniently located near bus stop to Hatton etc. food was outstanding! Both breakfast and dinner. Incredible service and attention from Rangi and her family. We loved our stay. They also booked us in for canyoning and absailing including pickup! :)

    Great location out of town, private balcony and good breakfast. The manager and staff were good and they also have a small shop adjacent for those essentials.

    Lots of ants in the bathroom. The road to the accomodation is bumpy (lots of holes in the road) and a bit far from the main street so taxi or own transport is recommended The dinner at the hotel is relatively expensive and you have to pay service charge. Also, the bottle of water at breakfast was not included in the breakfast and was priced as in a restaurant.

    Beautiful environment, nice balcony, the host is very friendly, she helped us book rafting and canyoning and she is eager to think with your wishes. The room was clean and spacious, you can dine on your own balcony and enjoy the view. There is a nice waterfall nearby were you can refresh yourself almost in private. Shower has hot water.

    There was no Wi-Fi when we visited the property. But the owner was generous to share their mobile hotspot. Towels and bed sheets were not clean.

    I booked a room with breakfast included. The breakfast which they provided me was so good. The owner has arranged us with the water rafting package. It was so fun and the price was also ok.

    A kettle in the room would be useful. Maybe a mini fridge too.

    The bus dropped us at a roadside sign for White Villa at the end of a steep lane. We walked up through the jungle, passing a troupe of monkeys then a couple of houses. I called Rangi who showed us to a communal terrace. After tea and biscuits we were lead to our bungalow, which was raised so we felt suspended in the forest! The room was spacious and immaculate. The shower was fabulous with plenty of hot water. The balcony was big with a table and chairs and a mountain view. A 30 metre walk took us down to a natural pool for a dip. Dinner was fantastic, best food we’ve had this holiday. Rangi brought it to the balcony for us and explained what each dish was and chatted about the area. She is utterly charming and hospitable. Big bed, white linen sheets and a blanket made for a good sleep. Picked up from there by the rafting guys (Rangi knew them) in the morning with a short hop to the river.

    We had a lovely stay at White Villa! The owners are so gracious and hospitable and did everything for us to have a nice stay. We had dinner at the villa the 2 nights we stayed and the owner cooks amazing rice and curry 😋 The bungalows are build with lots of space between so you have a lot of privacy and private balcony facing the jungle. The surroundings are beautiful with nature and a natural pool on the property. The address is updated (+ there is signs) so when you go up the hill it will tell you that you have arrived before but keep going up even when you think you are lost, until you see a sign decorated with rocks right next to the owners little shop. A lot of value for the money + nice breakfast. Can only recommend!
