Host review score
Nestled within the verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, this charming house, a relic of the Dutch colonial era, exudes a quaint elegance. Its distinctive architecture, characterized by a steep, red-terracotta tiled floor and whitewashed walls, stands in harmonious contrast to the tropical surroundings. The wooden shutters of the large windows showcase the influence of Dutch design, inviting the warm island sunlight into the interior. As you enter through a beautifully carved wooden door, the polished floors of the foyer lead you into a space that echoes the simplicity and sophistication of the colonial period. High ceilings adorned with delicate moldings create an airy atmosphere, while antique furnishings and vintage Dutch tiles contribute to an ambiance that transports you back in time.
