A Perfect Place to start exploring and relaxing
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. Children love the tuk-tuk ride!
Rooms
Both buildings of Villa Rosa have been built by current owner using local material and expertise. Some of the furniture has been made by our carpenter out of recycled window and door frames from old houses. This is a creative spot to relax and revitalize in a mild tropical climate – not too hot and humid but also not too cold and rough. In 2003 Villa Rosa was transformed into a hotel to offer individual travelers, families and friends a base to discover both their inner selves and the outer world. The cool breeze, the many species of birds, the evening fruit bats, the chirp of the cicadas, the croak of the frogs –all will welcome you in this oasis of peace – a hideaway from the noisy and restless world. To match different guest requirements, we offer different types and sizes of rooms in two separate buildings: from 20 to 50 m2, suitable for single travelers, couples, families and friends – also with children of all age groups in different rate categories:

Dining
Our kitchen offers typical Sri Lankan food, rice and curry of high quality standard. For dinner we have a set menu of 5 or 6 different curries plus rice, papadam and chutney. The selection of curries changes by the day, so you can eat 2 or 3 time rice & curry without eating the same thing. As a dessert we offer a choice of 3 or 4 different sweets and fruits: banana or pineapple fritters with ice cream or curd, caramelized mango with ice-cream, sometimes watalapam or other Sri Lankan pudding, fruit salad or fresh fruit. Finally coffee or tea. The team invites you after 5 pm to come into the kitchen to see how rice & curry is prepared.
