A real special place. The right place to relax, meditate and connect to nature. There are 3 villas, each stands by itself, privacy is a key here. A walking distance from Ella and Ella train station. When staying you can feel the care and love put in this place. Words can’t describe this place, but if you are around, treat yourself with a stay here. Food was outstanding and service unique, all, specially Suren, did everything to make me feel home 🙏🏼

    Absolutely one of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka! The location is amazing and offers the most beautiful views. The hut is comfortable and cozy. The breakfast is different every day and made with love. The owners are passionate about their work, and you can feel it in the lodges and the service. An extra plus for us is that they also take great care of the animals that sometimes wander around.

Nice and quiet since there are only three rooms. Breakfast is a normall SL-one, but good. The room is spacious andvthe balcony likewise with some furniture to enjoy the view.

    Lodging highly recommended. Rooms with spectacular mountain views. Very good breakfast. The owner and his son are very friendly and attentive at all times. It is 5min from the center by tuktuk but it is worth it for the views. To go to the center there is no problem, they have tuktuk and help you to move whenever you need it.
