Villas in Central Province, Sri Lanka

"It was a delightful stay at the Forest View Villa. The food was delicious, especially the rolled pancakes for breakfast and the view amazing. We highly recommend this place. As the train connection between Kandy and Ella is not yet (end of February 2026) working, due to the devastating cyclon in December 25, you might want to consider asking your host to drive you. It might be less stressful than changing busses 3 times."

"The lake view is average, the lake is yellow, just encountered a festival, it has been noisy until midnight, the experience is greatly discounted. The interior of the hotel is still great, the decoration is very stylish, not the kind of floating on the surface, the texture and details are in place. There is a feeling of returning to the British Lake District and the Highlands. Dinner is produced online, but the price is not cheap. I think welcome drink tea is good, I asked for a little more, and I was charged a pot of money. The next day, I ordered breakfast, but I could order one. Black coffee is free, latte is money...Although there is nothing wrong with it, the experience is very poor. A bit too awkward, sorry for the price of 1500+/night"

"🍃 On the hillside of Kandy Lake, it is located in the English courtyard halfway up the mountain. The environment is elegant and quiet, very suitable for vacation. 🍃 White yarn is lightly drooped, and there is greenery outside the window. The wind in the middle of the mountain passes through the gap, bringing coolness. In the morning, you can stroll in the small courtyard, overlooking the quiet Kandy Lake in the morning mist. The branches and leaves are light in the wind, and a good day is opened in this morning light..."

"One of the most amazing properties i have stayed at. Both Bandhara and Madu, the butler and chef, were amazing. They were attentive, responsive and spot on..great work guys..very impressed. The property does full justice to the $. The location, the chants from the Buddhist temple in the valley create the utmost serene atmosphere. Every amenity is top end and every detail looked after. Will visit again for sure and will highly recommend..cheers"

"We recently stayed at W15 Glenfall Nuwara Eliya on a bed & breakfast basis, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. We were given one of the most centered rooms with the largest balcony, offering a lovely view — definitely a highlight of our stay. The room was spacious, very clean, and well equipped, with tea and coffee making facilities available. The interior felt luxurious and cozy, and the entire property is well maintained. The washroom was quite large, with basic amenities provided, and they mentioned via WhatsApp that any additional items could be requested. However, I requested two dental kits and even followed up twice, but unfortunately they were not delivered. Check-in was smooth and quick, and parking is conveniently available with a friendly and helpful security officer. The small lawn area is also nicely maintained and adds to the charm of the property. Their pre-order dining system is quite efficient, dinner needs to be ordered before 6 pm and breakfast before 10 pm the previous night. The food was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the English breakfast, which was very well prepared. The staff were generally attentive and helpful, contributing positively to the stay. However, it would be nice to see a welcome drink at check-in, and since we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, a small gesture like a cake or simple decoration would have made it more special. Also, the rooms are not fully soundproof, as some noise from the kitchen and lobby could be heard. Overall, it’s a beautiful and comfortable property in Nuwara Eliya, ideal for a relaxing getaway. With a few improvements in attention to detail, the experience could be even better. 🌿✨"

"The overall environment is good, the location is a bit remote, away from the downtown, and the scenery is quite good. The disadvantages are that the facilities in the room are relatively old, the lighting is dim, the toilet is relatively simple, and the door lock is also relatively old."

"This is the favorite hotel in the 12-day Sri Lanka trip, very lucky to choose here, although the road to the hotel is a bit rugged, it may be this rug that makes it so quiet, so primitive. The hotel is an old colonial villa, but the maintenance is very good, the staff is very nice, I really want to stay a few more days."

"Melheim Kandy Villas is a charming hillside retreat that blends comfort, nature, and warm hospitality beautifully. Nestled amidst lush greenery with sweeping views of the Kandy hills, it offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city while still being within a reasonable drive to key attractions. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with large windows or balconies that let you soak in the serene surroundings. The beds are comfortable, and the overall ambiance feels homely yet refined. While the property is generally well-maintained, a few minor maintenance touches could make it even better. One of the highlights is the service — the staff are genuinely friendly, attentive, and eager to make your stay memorable. The breakfast is hearty and flavorful, often featuring fresh local produce, and dining on the terrace with a view is a treat in itself"

"Kandy only stayed for one night and stayed at this hotel. It was so ideal that I was very satisfied. But if you are asking for a senior in a five-star hotel, this is not for you. It is quiet, beautiful, kind and customs, everything has a sense of history, the swimming pool is very beautiful, but you can only wait for the sun to swim, otherwise it is too cold"
