“Must stay for the view but steep roads”

The property is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views, tranquil surroundings, and fantastic hospitality. We loved hearing the peacocks and watching the train pass by—it made the stay feel so special. Breakfast was also fantastic. Just a heads‑up: the road to the villa is extremely steep, and parking can be difficult; even our tuk‑tuk couldn’t make it all the way up. But once you reach the property, it’s absolutely worth it. One of the most beautiful places we stayed in Sri Lanka! The steepness makes getting there hard, but the owner helped us with tuk‑tuks and luggage.

The place has a very beautiful view. It needs to be cleaned and insects controlled.

We stayed at this place right by the railway tracks and it turned out to be the best Ella experience ever. Just a 1 km walk along the tracks from Ella station, and you can reach all the big spots in Ella—Nine Arch Bridge, Little Ravana Falls, Ella Rock—on foot. We saw loads of wildlife around the property, and walking back to the hotel at night on the tracks with flashlights was an absolute thrill. The only downside is that the stay is surrounded by thick vegetation, so bugs are a real nuisance.

The room offered stunning views, especially for sunrise, and because the train tracks run right next to the property you could see the famous convoy from the balcony without even going to Nine Arches. Breakfast was very complete. The owners helped us several times to get to the village or find tuk‑tuks, and they gave us great recommendations for Ella and other spots later in the trip. If you’re a bit wary of bugs, a few harmless geckos slipped into the rooms, but that’s normal in the mountains. It’s not very central and getting in with a large vehicle is tricky, though the views make up for it.

“Vale il soggiorno”

The manager was incredibly kind, and the breakfast was the best in all of Sri Lanka. The only issue was a smell in the bathroom of the triple room.
