Nous avons passé 5 jours dans cette villa avec un couple ami. Les prestations sont tout à fait conformes, les chambres sont agréables (nous occupions les 2 à l'étage face à l'océan), deux autres chambres sont disponibles, une en RDC sur terrasse sur océan, et une autre à l'étage, sur le côté et l'arrière, bien sûr moins agréable. Une remarque, valable pour tout le littoral depuis Colombo, la route principale passe juste derrière la villa, et le bruit de la circulation est important, voire très important, klaxons incessants, bruits de moteur... Donc tranquilité relative, même la nuit... La piscine comme le jardin sont très agréables, et la plage aussi. Bien entendu, nous sommes sur un littoral avec des vagues et un peu de courant. Lors de notre séjour, la mer était plutôt calme, mais néanmoins avec quelques séries de vagues importantes. Plage propre, et mer également. Le personnel est à l'écoute, et il est comme dans tout le pays très accueillant. La cuisine est simple mais de qualité. Il faut commander ses repas et anticiper, si vous souhaitez autre chose que de la bière facile à trouver..., comme du vin qu'il faut aller chercher au Wine Store du village. Cette remarque étant pour les Européens qui boivent du vin (!). Tout ceci ne pose aucun problème, compte-tenu de la proximité d''Ambalangoda, il faut juste un peu anticiper, et suggérer, car sans celà, on tourne un peu autour des mêmes repas..., et il faut reconnaitre que les restaurants des environs sont peu nombreux, même si Hikkaduwa est proche, mais la station est quelque peu saturée de tourisme de masse, cette remarque étant car je suppose que les personnes intéressées par une location de villa ne cherchent pas forcément ce genre de station. Donc, propriétaire réactif, agréable, personnel idem. Nous pouvons donc recommander....

Au bord de l'océan, une piscine pour ceux qui n'osent pas affronter les vagues, des chambres très spacieuses avec une literie très confortable et des salles de bains très bien équipées . Et Sandy et son équipe qui font de notre séjour un moment exceptionnel. Cette semaine à Ambalangoda a été un vrai bonheur . Le Sri Lanka est un pays bruyant alors dans cette villa comme ailleurs prévoir des boules quies, on entend les vagues et les boulangers qui s'annoncent musicalement tous les matins très tôt.

Pragtfuldt, smukt udsigt til strand og havet. Søde personalet. Mere forlangte ikke.

Villa Riina was a great place to stay with our family (three generations)The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The staff looked after us so well, arranging transport, cooking delicious meals and making us feel so welcomeThe Villa is a great location, very close to Ambalangoda, 15 minutes to Hikkaduwa and less than an hour to Galle (we used the public bus and second class train - FUN!)I have no hesitation recommending this place to to any group wanting a relaxing place to stay

We had a WONDERFUL stay at Villa Riina. We were two families with four children between us and the place was the perfect size, the pool and beach were excellent, and Sandy and Jagath were excellent hosts and cooks. The ocean was a little rough for our little ones but they loved playing on the beach, and the fact that there is a shallow section of the pool made the pool the perfect place for the kids to swim. The hosts were very accommodating in helping with tuk-tuk rides and daily excursions, and the food was great. The only thing that we did not know about until we arrived is that the house is right off a main road with lots of traffic. The grounds are very secure and gated and there was never any concern of our kids walking into the road, but there is a lot of traffic noise and buses that are flying own the highway and hitting their horns. Otherwise, it is the perfect place to stay!

This great villa is perfectly located to get the best out of the southern part of Sri Lanka. Our party was made up of two families 4 adults and 5 children and this villa accommodated us all perfectly. The house is well laid out, clean and well maintained. The best asset to this villa is its truly amazing staff who are welcoming and helpful at every turn. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Sri Lanka.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Riina and we are already planning a return visit. The villa itself is terrific and the staff are truly outstanding. Heikki was very responsive in the weeks leading up to our arrival and even purchased two cribs for our twins so we would not need to travel with our own. Jagath and Sandy are tremendous chefs, the food each day was great and quite varied. The accommodation was very nice, with four well-sized bedrooms, 3 upstairs and one downstairs. It was kept very clean and the property is very well-maintained. Traveling with young children, it was the perfect spot to relax. Our children loved the pool and the staff seemed to love our twin babies. While the ocean was quite rough due to the time of year, we nonetheless enjoyed the beautiful beach for countless hours. The villa is in a good location to make short trips to Hikkaduwa and Galle, the latter of which was a favorite of ours.There is not one thing I can think of as a criticism of the villa. We're looking forward to returning soon.

Villa Rina met all of our expectations. Sandy and her team looked after us well and assisted in a professional and non-obtrusive manner. We would return to Villa Rina in a heartbeat. Fabulous family holiday in Sri Lanka.
