Very pleasant location, quiet and relaxing. Mr. Chanduka was a very nice Butler and provided good services. The pool is clean and we would overall come back for a night or two.

Perfect place to recover from a long flight (or flights) for a night or two, this historically significant boutique property is an oasis of calm. A warm Sri Lankan welcome flows smoothly into introduction to one of the 9 suites, set in large quiet grounds, with excellent and generous breakfast and dinner served outside your room. Rooms are well-equipped, and the property also boasts a welcome swimming pool. Due to global events our Emirates flight via Dubai was swapped for Türkish via Istanbul, the latter being on time and a decent service, albeit with fewer daily flights. Travellers visiting Sri Lanka should consider using the Silk Route arrivals service, which makes the airport transit very smooth. Swapping major currencies for LKR is easy at the airport (passport required), with good rates and the ability to request preferred denominations - ATMs tend to dispense larger bills. Our driver, Manjula, met us at the Silk Route lounge and remained at our service throughout our stay, we could not have asked for better. Our adventure was organised by Caroline at Stylish Resorts (email dreams@stylishresorts.com), with in-country help from Sri Lanka in Style. Please remember to say ‘thank you ’ and to tip, as every little helps.

Wow, we were so glad to have chosen to stay here before departing Sri Lanka. This place is Colombo's best kept secret. Wonderful villa with wonderful staff. The villa is a converted private home with all the heritage elements preserved and enhanced by the tasteful decor. The grounds were beautiful and immaculately kept. Every angle of the villa and every corner of the property was an instagram worthy picture. The rooms were luxurious and comfortable and kept cool for August which is greatly appreciated. Service was top notch and everything is customized for each guest, eat when you want, eat what you want, everything is on request. Our butler (Lahiru) and his team were very accommodating, eager to please and very sincere - all thanks to the wonderful manager Asanga who met us on arrival and clearly has a great rapport with his staff. We were completely spoilt on our 1 night stay prior to leaving Sri Lanka, a perfect end for a quick getaway. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Used this at the beginning and end of a tour of Sri Lanka. Perfect greeting after a 14 hour flight at 3 in the morning - there's your room we can sort the paperwork out in the morning. Nice room, nice pool and good food. Service was excellent throughout our stay. I've seen reports of people complaining of airport noise, yes it's near the airport but the noise is not intrusive and flights are infrequent. Highly recommended.
