“This is not a standard lodging but an experience, a riotous blend of art and eccentric charm nestled in the hills of Kandy. For those seeking sterile perfection, look elsewhere; here, you'll find a place where the decor narrates family history, and each room tells a story through its quirky details. The personalized service and engaging atmosphere make it a memorable, if unconventional, stay.”
