LATEST REVIEWS

“Brilliant one-week family holiday” – Date of stay: April 2021

“A beautiful property, in traditional Sri Lankan architecture with large, airy verandahs and a stunning elevated view over a fairly secluded beach. The owners have thought of everything; mosquito lotion, kids’ toys, plastic wine glasses for the pool. The layered gardens are spectacular and good fun for the kids, including when the timed sprinklers come on. The villa has a great coffee machine, so you should take some beans if you like coffee.

Jerome, the manager, runs a tight ship together with his lovely wife who helped us with laundry. Jerome arranged all our food and did the shopping, with great accounts. All very cost-effective. He is on top of everything and is exceptional at his job.

The person we interacted with most was Isuru, who would clean the pool in the morning, clean our rooms, serve our food and make a great coffee. He is really wonderful and the kids loved him, Chamila the chef was excellent; a very nice, well-spoken young man with great suggestions for each meal which he then executed to a high standard. The gardener and new member of staff who has a name, but I did not catch it, were also fantastic.

The beach is lovely, with soft sand and clear water just past where the waves break. It is only a bit sad that there is a little bit of washed-up junk for the length of the beach, as is becoming more common around Sri Lanka. We tried to clean this up whenever we could but no one else on the beach, from other properties, seemed very interested.

The villa is so lovely and is very kid-friendly – cot and extra beds available. Perhaps bring wine, coffee, and not many clothes as you can do laundry there. An amazing place, with brilliant staff, Very, very, highly recommended.”

“Perfect getaway in an idyllic beach villa” – Date of stay: March 2021

“We visited the Villa for a 2nd time last weekend and had the most glorious holiday. The villa is beautifully designed around a breathtaking ocean view/ pool, with fantastic views from the living room, dining room, and bedrooms. The staff at the villa are just excellent and took great care of us (shout out to Camilla, Isuru and Jerome). The food was exceptional. The facilities are excellent, including plenty of pool toys, books and games. I am waiting until I can take more friends/ family to the villa and visit for the 3rd time!”

“Beauty and comfort on the beach” – Date of stay: January 2020

“Loved my stay at the Villa in Dickwella. The Villa has a raised view of the amazing, almost deserted beach and the sea. It is spacious, comfortable, and the interior has been put together with attention to detail, and an amazing eye for what is beautiful. I really appreciated the different spaces where you could spend alone time with a book, or move in to join the rest of the party. The food is also excellent… whether it is salads with local ingredients, or the generous spread of a traditional menu – pol roti, manioc…Am definitely planning to return for a longer stay……”
