Superbe hébergement dans une nature non moins superbe ! Nous avions un bungalow famille pour 4 et il était spacieux et surtout parfaitement propre. Tout le confort nécessaire est présent avec une excellente literie, une douche chaude (et avec de la pression, ce qui est rare au Sri Lanka !), du linge (draps et serviettes) qui sent bon.
Le lieu est magnifique, au milieu de la jungle : se réveiller dans cet endroit avec les bruits de la nature était magique.
Le petit déjeuner est bon et complet, qui plus est servi au bord de la piscine, ce qui est vraiment très agréable.
Enfin, Fabrice, le propriétaire, est très prévenant et nous a bien aidés dans la gestion de notre séjour sur place.
A recommander les yeux fermés !

What a magical place - part of the forest with monkeys in the trees and so much cooler than the heat of Kandy. Cannot recommend the food and ambience enough. Fabrice and his family looked after us all so well.

La situation, la literie et l accueil

It is a serene, well designed space, located close enough to Kandy to access all the sites; but far away enough to escape the congestion of the city. The service and attention to detail is amazing.

The hotel is in the middle of the forest, up the hills, comoletely away from the city noise. The service was amazing and the food delicious. 100% recommended

This place is the little France of Sri Lanka. Located in an amazing location within the jungle near Kandy, at the height of 800 m, it offers unprecedented comfort with a clear European taste and western standards.
Owned and run by Fabrice (France) and his wife (SL), this place stands out and well above all other hotels in this price range.
The excellent French dinner (with fantastic French wine and Burgundy cheeses) we enjoyed there was amazing and every rupee was worth it As it was our last night in SL, I can certainly say this is one of the best hotels we stayed in during our trip. Fabrice is an excellent host and he made sure we enjoyed our stay and food.
Unfortunatel, we had to start early to the air-port so we could not enjoy breakfast, but Fabrice sent us fresh fruits and juice the night before. This place is a gem, not to be missed if you are in Kandy.
מקום מעולה באמצע הג'ונגל ליד קנדי
האוכל אולי קצת יקר אבל שווה כל רופי.
המארח פנריס, איש יקר
ממליץ בחום
We were a family of four and we liked it all very much.

Amazing hotel with delicious French cuisine. Service was very good as well as hotel amenities. As if you are living in the jungle with high level of service and lots of comfort. Rooms were clean and fully equipped.
I would also highly recommend massage by Fabrice!

Friendliness of the Fabrice (owner), his family and staff. Quiet setting surrounded by forest. Delicious fresh food for breakfast and evening meals. Fabrice was very knowledgable of places to see and visit, and arranged transport with a friendly, trustable, local driver.
4.5
We were a large family group and Fabrice put on the most delicious dinner for us on the terrace .The very best of French cuisine with guacamole and prawns followed by chicken byriani and finishing with bananas flambe..
Highly recommended although location may be considered by some to be off the popular tourist locations.
4.5
loved the fact it is out of the busy town, showers were the best we had during our trip. the food was delicious and everyone was super friendly. we sadly didn’t have time to use the pool or mini golf. the beds were super comfortable. Fabrice arranged a full day of sightseeing in Kandy for us, we loved it! thank you for an amazing stay.

Fabrice was a wonderful host and Nisha was so accommodating so we highly recommend this unique place. The french meals were excellent and very filling plus some excellent accompanying wines. We enjoyed our time very much.
Bit of a long and windy road to get there but quiet and secluded once you arrive. We experienced power cuts but the back up generator was always available when needed.
4.5
forest setting , lovely lay out friendly and attentive staff
incline too sharp , slippery . A proper road way motorable inside the property to get to the. cabins would be good .
4.5
The host gave us great recommendations about the area and activities. We wanted to take the train from Kandy to Ella, but the host recommended us to get a scenic trip to Nuwara Eliya and then take the train to Ella from Nuwara Eliya. This was an excellent tip.
The kitchen offered familiar European food at a good quality, which is nice if you want a change from local food (but they also serve good local food made by locals).
No specific big complaints to call out.

the food is very delicious

A wonderfully situated place in the jungle. You hear nothing but the birds in the morning and evening. The rooms are wonderful. The food is great. The outdoor area has suffered a bit in the Corona time, but this does not detract from the charm and comfort of the whole complex. The best thing, however, is Fabrice, the owner. Together with his wife, he is a wonderful host who takes fantastic care of his guests and their well-being with dedication. He is one of the best experiences of our holiday. We actually planned to organise ourselves from location to locations. This called Fabrice into action. He really liked it to completely organise the rest of our trip in two days, hotels, a wonderful driver and a few tourist highlights, including negotiated special prices and an airport transfer for our trailing son in the middle of the night. Unbeatable service. A travel agency couldn't have done it better. And everything was great and went smoothly. A very wonderful person in a very special place. Fabrice, we thank you so much.

We were welcomed with open ar.s by the family who owned this hotel, but the food was amazing, like nothing we have experienced in Sri Lanka, A Sri lankan French fusion, good wine, kind people what more do we want.
We were, unfortunately staying at the hotel during the time of unrest in Sri Lanka, resulting in power cuts and food shortages, handled well by the hotel staff.
4.5
Amazing hotel tucked away in the forest - you forget how close to city life you are! The rooms are spacious and although we didn’t have enough time there (we wish we could have stayed an extra night) the pool looked fab!
Super friendly hosts and very talented chef :)
4.5
This is a beautiful place away from the chaos in Kandy. The food is very tasty if you want something different from traditional Sri Lankan dinners. Fabrice and our tuk tuk drivers that he recommend were lovey and very knowledgable!

Friendly staff, great french cuisuine, jungle flat.

Nice location if you want to be away from the hubbub of the city.
A restaurant on premises a big plus!
It’s a bit far from the town, but the host is extremely helpful with getting a driver for you.
The bathroom didn’t have any ventilation!

location in the jungle

Very nice hotel near Kandy. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a bit remote which makes it nice and quiet. Breakfast was very good!
Soms of the pictures don't quite match what it looks like now. The porch by the pool really needs a renovation.
4.5
It was comfortable, friendly and solitary.
4.5
Fabrice is a friendly and charming host who made us feel most welcome. We took advantage of suggestions he made with our travel plans and we are so pleased we followed them. The food was fantastic - I haven’t eaten food of this quality for years and finding it in Sri Lanka was a highlight of our trip. if you stay at this property ask Fabrice to organise Isuru as your tuktuk driver - he is a brilliant, informative, happy and friendly guide who will make you smile all day!

super friendly and helpful owner who organized really cool tuk tuk tours for us

the pool and front porch area could use some work (does not look like the pictures anymore)

Everything
Mostly how the staff, especially the manager, Fabrice, helped us in any and all regards.
Cosmetics: The main porch/veranda could use a do-over.
4.5
Fabrice and Sharlene (apologies for misspelling) were fabulous and most helpful with all our queries, along with the beautiful Jeannie (the partly blind dog from heaven.
The beds and pillows were super comfy.
The food was excellent and of a much higher standard than we've found elsewhere in SL.
It was a little more remote than we expected but it was a very peaceful and enjoyable location.
Not all rooms have fridges.
4.5
It is a beautiful property in the middle of the jungle. Food was delicious.
Please get rid off the colorful neon lights around the trees, it is killing all the charm.
4.5
This hotel has an amazing location high above Kandy and a colonial feel to it, with the French host on his own up here in the jungle setting. The drive to get there is a bit tricky, but fortunately we had our driver to take care of that :-) Sitting down for a welcome drink on the patio, and then being served a fantastic dinner, we felt like we were in the French Plantation Scene. The food was amazing (like many other reviews have said, order the tuna!!). Extra plus for the cute dog Ginny (spelling?) who is now my daughter's fondest memory of the holiday in Sri Lanka.
