Or come along for a few days whenever it suites your itinerary. We will help you to escape the rat race and put you on another track. “The villa is laid back rather than chic, comfortable rather than cool-which is all to its advantage…and it’s what delights visitors, most of them arrive here on a journey of discovery rather than tourism” M.Spencer, The Guardian, East in Eden, 10/22/2005 About Villa Rosa About Villa Rosa A special place at a glance Villa Rosa offers a slightly different hotel experience in Kandy. Less than ten minutes by tuk-tuk from town – we drop you free of charge – in a different world away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and life – that is Villa Rosa. For more than 10 years this Villa Rosa has attracted single travellers, couples of all age groups and families plus friends from all walks of life and different corners of the world. Most stay two nights, some three, four or more. We only accept booking for minimum 2 nights to avoid the atmosphere of a bus stand with one half coming and the other going. Why not to stay 3 or 4 nights – from the 4th night it will be cheaper per night and we help to organize your trips. Beside the stunning view, it is the Sri Lankan cuisine our guests enjoy most. High above the Mahaweli River you can just let go and chill out – or have a dip in the swimming pool of the Cinnamon Citadel down along the river. We drop you and pick you up again free of charge.
