Villa Rosa

We spent three days in Kandy in November for our honeymoon at Villa Rosa and we found it to be the nicest accommodation on our trip.
Great and attentive staff, super nice rooms (thanks for taking our honeymoon into account). Delicious food (Sri Lanka menu) and a super nice pool. We would love to be with you again) THANK YOU.

Wonderful stay with friendly and attentive staff. We were lucky enough to get a room upgrade. Will definitely be returning!

Peaceful hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy but in easy reach via tuk-tuk. Room was comfortable and food was good and enjoyed choice of locations to eat in. Lovely view over river from balcony.

Secluded in the hills overlooking the Mahaweli River, Villa Rosa is a hidden gem in Kandy. Enjoyed the magnificent sunset, delicious cuisine and warm welcome. Potent earth energy is apparent. Best place to rejuvenate in Kandy

Villa Rosa felt like paradise. In a remote location but not too far away from Kandy city centre. The staff was outstandingly friendly and helpful and the atmosphere heartwarming. The view from our room seemed almost too dreamlike to be true. The “boss” of the house (dog Karl) was very busy protecting the property and became a good friend to us. The food was delightful. We very much miss this place already!

Even better than expected. Spectaculair views, nice pool, good food. Romantic place where you can recover from the hectic Kandy.

Located on a ridge high above the Mahaweli River, the rooms enjoy spectacular views across the lush valley, mysterious misty mornings and glorious sunsets. Rooms have no aircon and no fridge, but the aspect allows you to open doors and windows and enjoy cooling breezes much, but not all, of the time.
The free tuktuk service into the city (15 mins) ensures the quiet situation does not seem too isolated, but remember to take the hotel address with you when you need to get a tuktuk to bring you back. It's a very convoluted access up an unlit, steep and winding road.
The food was excellent, especially breakfast, and the service calm, courteous and efficient.
You share the hotel with two large but friendly dogs.
It's pricey, but a really lovely place to relax, even better when the new swimming pool is opened later this year.

Location and setting were excellent. Its a beautiful property.

The staff were great. Nilanka and Dilan are very professional and friendly always making you feel welcome.

I would highly recommend this place it soars high above any Airbnb and/or hotel that you will find.
Some of the best cuisine in the country also. We did a cooking experience with the chef who showed us how everything is prepared.

Volker was a wonderful host. Offered us ideas on things to do/ places to go. They have their own tuk tuk and brought us to town at any time. The views are absolutely incredible- best views in a hotel. The food was also excellent.

Views, views & views! Staff is super friendly as well as the owners. Definitely recommend! The dinner is delicious

Great place with an amazing view. Rooms are clean and nice, staff is friendly and professional. Can only recommend the place.

One of the most wonderful few days in Sri Lanka. This place is a luxurious boutique hotel in the hills very close to Kandy. Perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The food was the best we had in Sri Lanka. The staff are amazing and work so hard to make your stay perfect. The views are incredible and the rooms very comfortable. If you like boutique hotels with impeccable service this is the right place to stay. Very good value, it’s a five star experience.

Villa Rosa is the most incredible place to stay in Kandy, even anywhere. Peaceful riverside views, large comfy rooms and delicious food. Staff are the kindest. Highly recommended addition to your trip to Sri Lanka. They take care of anything you need like tours and showing you local sights. They even managed to get us a reservation on the train to Ella after it sold out. Book direct via their website and email.

This hotel was literally incredible. So quiet, the most brilliant location, fantastic service, clean and beautiful room, the view was out of this world. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved it so much!

The perfect hideaway for Kandy on overall 5 star level.
Couldn‘t had a more pleasant stay.

Thanks for the upgrade - we really appreciated the breathtaking view!

This is a wonderful place. If you need to spend calm and quite vacation in hill capital in sri lanka this is a good place.

A place with a mountain view! Rooms are very huge and well maintained nice landscaping with Mountain View. You can see Mahaweli river from the top of the hotel Very silent area. The owner is very friendly he was foreigner. And staffs are very friendly. If you want anything you ask them they can arrange everything. Fantastic food here. We tried lunch it was delicious. Highly recommended this hotel.

Absolutely beautiful place to relax, with incredible views. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. They have an arrangement so you can use the luxurious pool in a nearby hotel for free, which we made good use of. Couldn't recommend more.

Excellent hillside spot to see sunset and rise during stay in Kandy. Amazing tranquility away from hustle of town below.
Volker made us feel especially welcome but I expect that goes without saying for all his guests.

Truly a peaceful place with a view, where you can lean back and relax. Very friendly and polite staff. Really good curry!
