House vacation rentals in Ella

What an amazing place, in a beautiful area of the island. From the moment we drew up to the gates of the Dutch House, we were greeted by the most gorgeous Dutch villa, and the all-pervasive smile of Kannan, who looked after us like members of the family during our stay. The house sits high on the hills outside of Bandarawela, up a short, but very steep road, which gives it a great vantage point over the surrounding lush hills and mountains. It’s a great climate so a gin and tonic on the veranda was a joy. We made use of the pool, and although not heated, you soon get used to it. The surrounding gardens are very well kept and have a plethora of birds and other wildlife. The food prepared by the on site chef was wonderful, as was the attentive service from Kannan. We also had the best sleep we've had during our trip. Even if you’re not in the immediate area, a drive here and a stay in this wonderful house, will surely be one of the highlights of any trip. It was for ours.

Pepper villa is surrounded by a beautiful forest environment and river with wildlife all around. Some insects do find their way inside, we watched dazzling displays by fireflies on some evenings. Dimuthu was an amazing host and showed us around the farm pointing out the different plants and where the best swimming spots were. His parents live in the farmhouse nearby and were very kind and helped us get milk and Kurds from a local farm. There are a couple of small local shops with basic supplies and it's a short bus ride to the nearest town with more shops, cafes and ATMs. We found pepper villa a great place just to relax and well placed for longer excursions by bus, tuk tuk or train.

Flexible check-in; the woman was waiting for us for a super long 👍time because our train was too late. We could have left our backpacks there on the next day as well.👍 The best part was of course the premium view with our delicious breakfast on the private balcony on the waterfall. ✨️From the bed you also had this fantastic view. 😎 So we would definitely stay there again

this is the best stay we've had so far! I'll be back in Sri Lanka in December, as a lord Elle go I'll go here again! what and friendly people who really do everything for you! They give advice with what you can do and they take you everywhere and also with a big laugh and with nice conversations in the meantime. it's then I can only give 5 stars otherwise there would really have been a lot and much more! thank you for the great experience with your stay, highly recommended for anyone going to Ella!
