to get started.

I cannot stress enough how great the food was. We had the four-course dinner which was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. It was freshly cooked right in front of us and was the perfect amount. The breakfast had more options than we could finish and it was absolutely amazing. We loved the board games at the lobby and it was the perfect way to spend our evening.The bed was comfortable and I loved the unique design of the property. We also loved the service from the staff.

Nestled atop the local forrest sits Villa Amma Erna. With stunning minimal architecture, comfortable amenities and well trained staff they will make you feel right at home. You will easily spend an hour photographing all the well considered details when you arrive. There are plenty of areas to lounge and relax around the building with outlets to charge electronics. The rooms where huge and well maintained. The laundry was affordable and delivered same day. The breakfast was more made to order and more than enough. The pool was multi-functional and inviting.

Great property, very private and peaceful. Fantastic food and swimming pool. Go for a relaxing time.

Property is quiet and secluded, with a fantastic and friendly cook. Service is impeccable. There are only three rooms in the property so it feels like your own private vacation most of the time. Fantastic pool and serene yoga/meditation area. There are cosy sofas dotted around the property where you can find your solitude. Room is spotless. Even though it relies on natural ventilation, it does not feel stuffy at all. Fine wire mesh doubles as windows and also effectively prevents insects from invading the room. Sounds of nature accompany you to sleep. I also spotted a couple of peacocks, family of monkeys, a land monitor lizard and various birds on the property grounds and in the canopy above. A slice of heaven indeed.

All is absolutely excellent. My favorite hotel in Sri Lanka and I have been a lot of places. Just love it. And the food which was already very good has come even better.

Philip

The staff are AMAZING and extremely attentive. We had fantastic food on site for two nights, where a private chef cooked us a delicious four-course dinner the first evening and a traditional Sri Lankan spread the second evening. The location is beautiful - very tranquil and quiet. The rooms are large, very modern and clean. We would definitely stay again!

Zen-like atmosphere, totally relaxing place. Service was warm and friendly. The property was spotlessly clean. The lack of ACs was quite refreshing, we didn't miss it.

The TV in our room wasn’t working which was quite disappointing. It was also a bit loud during day time because there were construction work around the property. It would be nice if they could do something to sound proof the rooms.

Overall we didn’t enjoy our stay as much as we expected considering the price. The location was probably the biggest negative for us, just too far to walk to the city. The welcome at the beginning wasn’t the best.
The chef was very nice, the food is delicious especially the breakfast.

There was nothing I didn't like - but reflecting on my Sri Lankan trip I would say that the evening meal was a little overpriced and if I was to repeat I probably would have spent some evening eating out.
Stunning villa - everything about this place was amazing. The pool, the rooms the hidden spot to sit and relax with a book. The staff were incredible helpful and due to the hotel only having 3 rooms we really felt we go to know them and them us. They were incredible helpful in booking use TukTuks into town. The pool is just simple beautiful and built into the rock - this really is a eco-hotel.

Beautiful, modern building, great pool, friendly staff and a secluded spot. Deen and Kepi were incredible hosts and made us feel very welcome. The towel arrangements we can back to each night were very sweet touches. We were very sad to be leaving this special spot behind. Couldn’t recommend it more.
