Villa Shenandoah

Die Zimmer sind sehr gerräumig und sauber. Der Ausblick nach Kandy ist sehr schön. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr bemüht und man wird wirklich gut umsorgt. Das Infinity-Pool ist traumhaft! Das Essen war sehr gut - leider waren nicht alle Speisen auf der Speisekarte verfügbar. Wir können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Villa Shenandoah is een fantastisch hotel, vlakbij Kandy. Het ligt hoog in de heuvels boven de stad, waardoor je een fantastisch uitzicht hebt van op je kamer, aan het zwembad of vanop het terras van het restaurant. De eigenaar en het personeel zijn heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Je kan er terecht voor een uitstekende service (vervoer naar Kandy, regelen van trein naar Ella, vervoer naar Nuwara Eliya). Mr. Dinuk (de eigenaar) hielp ons ook nog met een probleem met onze volgende accommodatie, waarvoor nogmaals onze dank! De kamer was ruim, de wifi & airco uitstekend en de douche aangenaam. Het hotel heeft een heel goed restaurant en biedt een uitstekend ontbijt aan. Het hotel heeft ook een wasservice, want na bijna twee weken rondtoeren in Sri Lanka zeker welkom was :-) We kunnen deze locatie zeker aanbevelen!

Exceptional room with view and balcony. Beautiful pool and restaurant. Home owner and staff especially mahindra fabulous. Nothing to say we feel like at home. Hearty and varied breakfast. Perfect evening dinner

We stayed two nights on our round trip in this little paradise. We booked two of the extremely spacious bungalows with an amazing view of Kandy. Due to the current situation we were the only guests in the hotel. The hotel is run by two families and has only 5 rooms (main building and bungalows) - all very exclusive and informal. We got to know one of the owners and he told us the story of the house. The villa originally belonged to a Swedish wildlife photographer. He worked in India but was always on holiday in his villa in Kandy. He planted all the trees in the hotel garden himself. When he died in 1986, his son took over the house but sold it to the two families in 1988. And since 2014 it is a hotel. One of the bungalows used to be his office - just super exciting when a hotel has such a great history. And the owners are so nice and friendly and share the history with the guests. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel - it was great! Everything! Super tasty, super fresh and the service was second to none. All wishes were read from our eyes before you could even express them. The quality of the food and the coffee were excellent. What we found particularly great: All groceries were only bought and prepared to order, so that nothing is in stock unnecessarily - very sustainable! We were impressed! The infinity pool overlooking Kandy is of course the highlight - it was only opened 2 years ago. And is just gorgeous. Super clean and great temperature. Mango shakes and sandwiches were delivered directly to the pool to order. All in all, the two days were perfect! The only thing you might need to know is that the hotel didn't have a generator at the time of our trip - but we had a very nice candlelit dinner during the usual power cuts in the evening. But there could really be worse things than a candlelit dinner outdoors. :) And the water pressure in the shower could be better - mosquito nets would also be useful. But that's complaining on a high level. :)

We had the villa with a terrace and a beautiful view of Kandy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed dinner there. It was served on the terrace. The breakfast was also delicious. Highly recommended
