A une quarantaine de minutes du centre de Kandy, cette superbe demeure coloniale au charme suranné surplombant une vallée vierge constitue un véritable havre de paix, aux antipodes du tumulte de la ville. David et Michael, les propriétaires des lieux, l’ont magnifiquement aménagée en rajoutant des touches art déco. Le mobilier et les objets vintage, l’ambiance musicale, les nombreuses oeuvres d'art exposées et la sérénité des lieux vous font remonter le temps. La cuisine proposée est succulente et originale. La piscine à débordement offre une vue dégagée sur de superbes couchers de soleil. Le personnel hyper attentionné contribue largement à la zénitude des lieux. Bref, tout est absolument parfait ! Un coup de cœur absolu !
