We stayed at the Villa Rosa whilst we visited the sights of Kandy. It was in an ideal location away from the hustle and bustle with fantastic views over the river. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. The Botannical Gardens are a must - very peaceful and beautifully looked after. Kandy is interesting to have a... more

This is a place that tries hard, but lacks the touch of a real hotelier; the good points are that the place itself is lovely, and the rooms more than OK, and the staff delightful and the food really pretty good. But whilst the owner is wonderful with the guests, and the staff very willing, the overall effect is that... more

We just stayed in this hotel for one night and we were disppointed. In my opinion this is a budget hotel not a boutique hotel. I did not feel we received value for money at all. The view from the hotel was lovely and the staff and the owner charming, but the rooms were very tired. The pillows were old... more

If you are looking for a small, boutique, beautiful, relaxing yet wonderfully accomodating place to stay in Kandy then go to Villa Rosa. It is authentically Sri Lankan with such lovely staff and bespoke service. I would happily return there one day and we liked it so much we stayed extra days as it was so relaxing. The rooms are... more

The journey up to Villa Rosa is not for the feint hearted, with lots of pot hols and very steep hills; however the destination is worth the wait. My Wife to be and I were greeted with cooling drinks by the manager/owner, and had the most chilled out check-in I've ever had, sat in a sofa admiring the view. Volker... more

we were very lucky to stay at Villa Rosa for 3 weeks (Dec. 2006- Jan. 2007) as they were so kind to organize our marriage. This after a thourough search on the internet looking for a place which guarantees privacy, a nice scenery and a personal touch. Your privacy is guaranteed due to to its location and the fact it... more

Kandy is a very busy and crowded town, with markets, architecture dating back centuries, places of interest like the Hotel Suisse and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Well worth just wandering around. The Villa Rosa is an oasis of calm at the top of an almost vertical climb up the hill overlooking the Mahawell River, the island’s longest. We... more
