The host was wonderful at meeting us although we arrived very late and he served us tea. Rooms were very clean and ready for us. Breakfast was wonderful in the morning. We felted very well looked after. He also shared recommendations on what to do or who to talk to about a local sightseeing. Even called the local tour guide for us. We are all enjoyed the place.

That we only stayed one night!! Definitely look to comeback another time.

Atule (the Chef and caretaker) was our highlight. His hospitality was amazing, as was his food. he helped arrange a Tuktuk for us, gave us helpful tips and showed us around the lake close by.

the garden/ patio has a lot of plants which offers lots of shade but it also attracts bugs and reptiles (non dangerous ones) so if you’re afraid of those this might not be the place for you.

We had a lovely time at The Courtyard Villa. Very relaxing space with a lot of attention to nice little details (including a squirrel pub). The owner was away at a wedding but the cook looked after us very well. He attended to every need from bringing us evening tea, to organising bikes, making 5am breakfasts, organising tuktuks, to making sure we had mosquito candles so we wouldn't get bitten whilst reading on the porch. He is also a super friendly guy who has lived an interesting life. We can recommend this as a great place to explore Sigirya and also to relax with a book on the porch at the end of a great day.

Dinner was a little bit expensive. However it is optional.

Extremly nice and caring stuff...

The service and the look of the hotel, the food garden and decoration. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and made it 4 because it was so good!

Nothing!

The most helpful and accommodating host.Before arrival I messaged and asked if it's possible to rent a push bike, the bike was ready and waiting for me on arrival. The food is prepared by the hosts father in law - it is absolutely delicious some of the best food I have had in Sri Lanka. The guesthouse is beautifully styled as per the pictures and set in a lovely garden. It is really quiet and peaceful as located down a turnoff from the main road. I had no problem finding the guesthouse - just use maps.

The food our host prepared was excellent. Also nothing was too much trouble for our host to organise. Felt very peaceful staying there.
