“Value for money, great staff and the best breakfast”
+The hotel is rustic and that is part of the charm, it is located around 30 minutes out of Ella town but the staff are so helpful and will pick you up and drop you off when asked, so even though it is quite far out it doesn't feel it as there was never an issue getting too or from the hotel, That staff are the biggest positive of this hotel, there is nothing that is too much for them, it's run by 3 boys who work really hard and went out of their way to make our stay as good as possible, no matter the time, they have great local knowledge and can help with anything you ask, The villa itself is rustic, but it is so charming, the views from the hotel and private pool of Ella rock and ravana falls are spectacular The room has everything you need, and more than enough space, it's not your typical hotel room as there is different parts to find and explore but you get your own little kitchen downstairs as well as chimney, bedroom and balcony Breakfast was another positive as it was probably our favourite breakfast we had in Sri Lankan! Overall this place is such good value and the staff are so helpful it's easy to recommend this hotel!
−This isn't a negative, just something to be aware of, in-between the two villas is two rocks you can easily climb, the views are unbelievable but there is quite a big drop on the other side, if you are going with children just be mindful that this is there and supervise them at all times, but as I said, this is in no way a negative

+It was an amazing stay! The place is perfect to relax on holiday, far away from the city and surrounded by pure nature. I enjoyed the sunshine, the beautiful mountain ranges, the waterfall, and the lovely birds. It is truly the best place I have ever visited to relax my mind. The food was delicious and fresh, and the staff were very helpful. Special credit goes to the manager for making our stay so enjoyable. Access to the hotel is a bit bumpy, with some parts of the road being gravel, but it added to the adventure since the hotel provides a safari jeep for transfers to and from the main road. This is the perfect place for nature lovers, and I highly recommend it!

+The view, the pool and the concept. We ate in the restaurant twice and both times the food was to a high standard. Staff were attentive and responded quickly.
−The location is lovely in the mountains but we booked this thinking it was a short distance from Ella. You have to be collected on the mountain road and taken to the hotel by safari jeep. If you are looking for a hideaway in the mountains this is the place, if you want somewhere close to Ella, this is not the place for you. It is half an hour at least from the centre of Ella by road. It is not within walking distance.

+Wir haben drei Nächte in der Villa Verde in Ella verbracht und damit zwei volle Tage, um die Ruhe und das außergewöhnliche Ambiente dieser Unterkunft zu genießen. Schon die Anreise ist ein kleines Abenteuer: Vom nächstgelegenen Ort wird man mit einem Pick-up abgeholt, da es über schaukelige, teils nicht befestigte Wege hinuntergeht. Unser Tuk Tuk konnten wir bequem oben im Ort parken. Die Villa Verde ist klein, exklusiv und sehr persönlich: Es gibt nur vier Zimmer, aufgeteilt in zwei Häuser, und jedes Haus hat seinen eigenen Pool. Dadurch ist es sehr privat und perfekt für alle, die Ruhe suchen. Das Team ist unglaublich zuvorkommend und aufmerksam - man fühlt sich sofort willkommen und bestens umsorgt. Wir hatten Frühstück gebucht und waren begeistert: frisch zubereitet, super lecker und reichlich. Auch das Dinner haben wir einmal probiert, und es war ebenso frisch, liebevoll gekocht und richtig lecker. Wer hier übernachtet, sollte keine Angst vor Tierchen haben - die Villa ist naturverbunden, im Bad lassen sich am Abend auch mal Ameisen blicken, die aber völlig harmlos sind. Wenn man die Türen zum Schlafzimmer geschlossen hält, hat man keine Insekten im Zimmer. Besonders überzeugt

+Un cadre magnifique, personnel au top, vous êtes seul au milieu de la montagne c'est idyllique ! Le restaurant de l'hôtel est tout simplement délicieux et pas cher ! Je recommande vivement c'est une des meilleures expériences que j'ai eu !
−Attention : il faudra appeler l'hôtel pour qu'ils viennent vous chercher depuis la route principale, l'hotel se situe sur un bord de montagne accessible par Jeep ou à pied !
