10.0+Coming to Emma is an extraordinary experience! We felt like we had come home. The privacy, the silence and the wonderful courtyard were all we needed. The woman there takes care of all the needs. From food to driver in the middle of the night. The area of Kandalma Lake is beautiful. We will definitely come back to her!
−That we had to leave

10.0“Exceptional”
+We spent two wonderful days at Ema's. Madawee and her family are the warmest, most helpful and welcoming people! The location is great if you have a scooter or a car (since placed in the beautiful, quiet and peaceful countryside) and want to explore the area: Dambulla Rock Temple and Sigiriya are closed by. Every wish we had was happily fulfilled. We felt very welcome, and when we left after only two days it was like saying goodbye to family. Thank you so much for everything!

10.0“Verrete accolti da una famiglia speciale che cercherà di regalarvi un soggiorno indimenticabile, grazie mille!!!”
+La stanza è molto curata, non manca nulla e tutto è perfettamente funzionante! La veranda sarà il luogo in cui passerete più tempo, affaccia sul verde del meraviglioso giardino tropicale. Ogni pasto viene servito e preparato a mano, ogni ingrediente è prodotto da loro e cucinato come di tradizione.
