We were really happy we chose this place for our 3-night stay at Tissa. I will not write much about the place, the room and the facilities provided and the quality of services provided by the host; they are all better described by other guests and they are all true. I will - above all - point out the amazing care dedicated by the host and his wife in order to serve us the best quality of ingredients and prepared the finest dishes of Sri Lankan cuisine! That was the only place of all Sri Lanka over a 3+ week period where we had the chance (and the luck) to taste authentic local food - and it was amazing! Don't miss this opportunity and book your dinner (half-board) with them... you won't regret it!

Super clean, good wifi, good breakfast, strong airco, nice owner. Definitely deserve a 10!!!! The owner arranged a tuktuk to pick us up from the bus and they brought us to the busstation when we left. It's located a bit outside the city center but that's no problem. The house is close to a lake, go there for a view and finding animals. We arranged a safari to yala with them and this was very good, saw a lot of animals including a leopard.

Very nice and comfortable place. the staff are very well taken care of and prepare breakfast before an early safari. at the same time, the staff is also invisible, so you feel that the whole villa belongs to you (if there are no other guests). we spent most of our time on the terrace by the pool, meaning in the common area, which was very nice to be around.
