Amazing place with lake view. Loved the cabin ( really big). Its clean and the staff are friendly . They went above and beyond and prepared take away breakfast as i had to check out before official breakfast timing Highly recommended Small advice, if ur there the boat trip on the lake is overrated, walk around the lake its 1000 ruppes per person, its an amazing walk

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful and very unique boutique hotel. We strongly recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a high quality, privacy and great experience. For us this was the best hotel in Sri Lanka - the staff was very friendly, professional paying attention to every single detail. Upon arrival they helped us with our luggage, welcomed us with a nice coffee and home made cakes. The room was amazing - very clean, specious, comfortable and had fresh flowers from the hotel garden :) The food was excellent - the chef cooks with love and one can taste it ;) We absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to be back! If you are heading to Nuwara Eliya, this is definitely a place where you need to stay.

Everything about the villa was amazing. From the luxurious interior to the breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, dam and tea plantations, our experience here was wonderful and a much needed getaway in an extremely calm and serene place. We were hosted by the very warm and cheerful Akila and served delicious meals prepared by the talented in-house chef.

La Grande Villa is a must to do if you are coming at NUWARA ELIYA. You can feel the luxury England atmosphere everywhere. The room is fabulous, the food is delicious and all the staff was so caring, so helpful and so nice. You can count on the receptionist Farhan if you need anything, count on the chef if you want to eat Sri Lankan, Indian or English food and count on the staff to makes you feel like a VIP guest. Thanks to all of you for this unforgettable stay. I warmly recommend that place.
