You can't find a better place to stay in Kandy than Villa Rosa - ask for room 4. The views are awe-inspiring, and you can eat meals or just have a drink from a cliffside table. The rooms are simple but elegant, nothing missing. Ask to stay in the main building rather than the annex. The hotel provides rides to... More

This charming hotel is perched at the top of a wooded hill overlooking the meandering river which flows through Kandy. The views and scenery are spectacular. Our room on the ground floor had a terrace with dining area where we had our breakfast watching the sun rise on the hills opposite. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly.... More

The view from the Villa Rosa is quite spectacular! The highlight of our stay was eating breakfast and dinner out on that overhang featured in the pictures. The breakfast was fantastic. One day we had a "western" breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, etc., starting off with a wonderful plate of fresh local fruit. The next day we had the fruit... More

The staff were very friendly and always willing to help. We had a lovely dinner and breakfast and were very well looked after. Our room was clean and spacious. I... More

We had a 3 day stay at Villa Rosa and what a brilliant experience. Volker and his team set out to make us feel at home and they achieved this in fine style with nothing being too much trouble from the minute we arrived. The views are even better than the pictures on the website and relax you as soon... More

We stayed two nights in what turned out to the honeymoon suite. It was very comfortable with a huge terrace with day bed and bath (!). The bathroom wasn’t very big but was fine for our needs. The room was located at the very top of the property and was very quiet and private. The food and service were both... More

My boyfriend and I spent three nights at Villa Rosa - and only wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel is a bumpy, steep drive up from Kandy - but you are rewarded with what can only be described as the best view in Sri Lanka. The host and all the staff were wonderful - faultless. We spent two... More

The Villa has superb views over the river and hills, whilst still being only a short ride from Kandy. Breakfast on the terrace is therefore a real treat and very relaxing, whatever the weather is doing. The food is good here. The Curries for evening meal were the best we tasted during our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. We are... More
