It is no exaggeration that Villa Rosa Kandy has the finest views of any hotel in Kandy, if not the whole of Sri Lanka. For a hill city that enjoys many famous views, this is no mean boast. From the lovely garden and patio, guests enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful river with its washers, bathers, and crisscrossing rafts, as well as the hills and forests disappearing mistily into the horizon.
Villa Rosa Kandy itself was renovated by the owners in a crisp classical style. The hotel surrounds a garden in two parts, with a partly open middle section allowing for the free flow of cooling air to circulate. The five deluxe rooms are large and well-finished, with spacious individual balconies. There is also an additional room for children. Natural light is given full reign.
The staff has been well trained and offers individual service. Food is important here, and international chefs were brought in to help train the local cooks. Food is prepared to taste. Local food of a very high standard is available, as is anything else of your choice, as long as fresh ingredients can be procured locally and enough notice is given.
It is a personal place where the owners live and enjoy talking to guests in the shared communal areas. There is also a lovely swimming pool.
Located far enough outside Kandy to enable you to enjoy the peace and quiet but an easy ride to town, Villa Rosa Kandy is the perfect place to discover Sri Lanka's cultural capital whilst relaxing and enjoying the amazing view.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
