This nine-bedroom former manor house is one of Sri Lanka’s original boutique hotels, carved out of an understated 18th-century abode is the essence of Kandy House. The house is just 25 minutes’ drive off from Kandy city center. With just 8 rooms all decorated with antique four poster beds and other matching furniture making a statement, the Kandy House is truly something staying alive from the old world charm. The minimalist yet pop of color décor is done relating to the earthy tones found around the lawns and cities while the rooms are named after native butterflies abundantly found about flying in the neatly lawned and manicured gardens. Kandy house has adoring infinity pool and wooden sun loungers helping you to get the best out of tropical sunshine mixing with the hill country cool off. You can peacefully gaze at uninterrupted and undisturbed village views while taking a dip at the pool or just stretching one of the loungers. Kandy house whips up local and international dishes as pastas, salads, soups with locally sourced ingredients, the restaurant is along the verandah and promises unmatched diner views. The cakes and bread are home baked with care and love which makes up to the extra taste bud exploring flavor notes. Sip away a gin or a vodka while being at the bar or even a Sri Lankan famous Arrack Sour will do you the trick to end the night at a soprano note. Under these charming roof and white long pillars stands a bit of history and bit of modernity bringing in a highlight in your holiday.
