Galkanda Walawwa Boutique Villa

This is an amazing house, beautiful, full of history and charm. It is luxurious, with a porch, different stylish rooms and an infinity pool. The owner is kind. Interested and helpful. His wife is an amazing cook and host. Can recommend having breakfast and dinner here. Our stay in the mansion was truly relaxing. It's 20 minutes away from Kandy, easy with a minivan or tuk tuk. But you will not want to leave the house.

Fantastic hosts - communication was great and they really went above and beyond for us. The team are great and take care of everything. We travelled with 2 young children and they excelled at entertaining and catering for them - felt like a home away from home. Pool area is stunning with unbelievable views. Breakfasts and dinners were varied and delicious. We liked that the estate had history, charm and felt lived in. A wonderful stay with wonderful people. If you are a family looking for a base in Kandy look no further

The people. Owner and staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Owner made sure that our driver’s accomodation and meals were looked after.

Wifi was poor. Vehicular access was quite difficult.

We stayed in the villa for two days on Poya-day during the Perahera. The house is magnificent, in a beautiful park/garden, with a lot of authentic details, with al modern comfort. The owners are a wonderfully welcoming couple and the staff are very friendly and helpfull. A short (15min) ride to Kandy, but very calm, surrounded bij nature, it Made for a relaxing stay, after the excitement of the festival. We had the best breakfast, the lady of the house made waffles and even, for tea, donuts for our children. Upon discovering our daughters’ love for avocado, they went picking fresh ones in the garden, as well as passion fruit, for a snack on the road!

Everything was perfectly organised. Since the house is up a hill, the owners provided rooms and brought food for our driver/guide to avoid him getting up and down.

GW in Kandy: Historical charm and a warm hospitality and courtesy, which made our stay very special. We were welcomed bij the host and his charming wife. Our host is very helpful and can logically be proud of his home where we stayed alone. There is a lot of attention from the staff - 3 smiling ladies- for detail and sincere care (unexpect cup of tea with treats bij the pool) and at the delicious Indian & SL dinner at a tastefully set table. We think back to you with a warm feeling. Thank you very much. Tip: *Cooking workshop possible on location, * in the evening with tuc tuc to the center (approx. 15 min.) for a bite to eat, * Play carrom board!!

Stately and comfy manor with a great view from the pool. Super friendly staff

You don't have the house to yourself, there's always staff very close by. Albeit quite expensive per night, breakfast is not included.
