stayed at The Hermitage with a group of friends from 20th January 2020 to 27th January 2020

We spent seven nights here and used it as a base to see the central part of Sri Lanka. It is a beautiful villa overlooking Lake Victoria. The breeze passes through the house making it a very cool place to rest and relax. The rooms are large and comfortable with everything you may need. The staff is very obliging and willing to accommodate most requests. The Sri Lankan and English breakfast are good with excellent fruit platters and freshly squeezed juices. The dinners are not gourmet if you don't choose the local food but are absolutely fine. The Sri Lankan food though is excellent. The pool is beautifully clean and a welcome spot to spend some time. It is not licensed so BYO wine. They provide glasses and a fridge to chill it should you need it. Perfectly feasible to visit the tea plantations, the spice growing area, Kandy itself etc from here and have the luxury of coming back to the same bed. It is run by two delighful men and a chef who do all they can to make you feel at home. Highly recommended.

enjoyed a romantic stay at The Hermitage from 18th December 2019 to 21st December 2019

After reading mixed revies online, we were a bit hesitant to go ahead with this property but went with our intuitions anyway. The property is a 30 minutes drive from Kandy town and does not have any boards of signs of its existence. An unmarked detour leads to this lush property. The property is constructed beautifully in the most eco-friendly way to ensure the trees and nature remains. This airy property faces lake Victoria and has only 3 rooms which are tastefully furnished, has a lovely bathrooms with tub views of the pool and lake and an open shower that can turn interesting when it rains. They have two amazing staff ever ready to cater to your needs at any time of the day or night. We were so in love with the property that leaving it to go sightseeing was tough. It was home away from home for us. Our special thanks to Supuri & Pushpa for ensuring that we have the most amazing stay. Stay here to enjoy nature, forest sounds, amazing views and some ROMANCE.

This beautiful, extraordinary property features a unique design that is just as amazing as the gorgeous surroundings. The views from inside the villa are breathtaking and there is no need for air-conditioning - the fresh air from the forests and mountains cools down the temperature naturally. The villa is furnished with antiques and hand-picked art. There are comfortable leather sofas, teak daybeds, handmade rugs and there is a separate dining room. Being a multi-level property, the options to sit back and read a book or relax with friends and family are abundant. The villa even boasts its very own private spa if you are up for some pampering.
