If I could, I would give this place more than 10/10!
Pros:

The hotel itself was wonderful. The rooms were very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The swimming pool was beautiful, huge and spotlessly clean. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. We also loved the animals around the property, especially the sweetest cat who kept coming over for cuddles! The location is great too, with plenty of interesting places and attractions nearby.

The hotel restaurant was another highlight. The food was absolutely delicious, with very reasonable prices and great value for money. We really enjoyed eating there during our stay.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing! We had no complaints and really enjoyed every part of our stay. The only thing was the monkeys making some noise early in the morning, but of course that’s completely beyond the hotel’s control.

Séjour incroyable en plein cœur de la nature et au calme.
Pros:

La location proche de beaucoup d’activités tout en restant dans la nature et calme. C’était vraiment apaisant. Le service est vraiment bien, le personnel est présent et à l’écoute. Il y a un accès à la piscine. Et il est possible de manger sur place donc vraiment bien aussi.

Relaxing accomodation close to Sigiria Rock.
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and attentive. 5 good sized rooms over looking the lovely pool. 10 min tuk tuk ride to Sigiria Rock and close enough to walk back afterwards. Food in the restaurant was pretty good. Lots of small restaurants up and down the road.

Molto bello,ci ritornerei!
Pros:

La struttura è nuova e molto pulita. Le camere molto belle (sono state rimodernate rispetto alle foto). Lo staff è super disponibile. Al ristorante abbiamo mangiato molto bene e hanno preparato piatti gluten free per mia figlia celiaca, la cucina era molto pulita. Bella la piscina con la possibilità di vedere anche scimmie, scoiattoli e tanti uccelli tipici. Wi-fi gratuito.

Vakantievibes!
Pros:

Heerlijke plek vlakbij Lion Rock en Pidurangala Rock. La Dolce Vita bestaat sinds 2019 en wordt gerund door enkele dynamische, zeer hartelijke mensen. Kleinschalig domein met restaurant en een aantal geschakelde huisjes. Er heerst een fijne vakantiesfeer. Zeer aangenaam zwembad met voldoende ligbedden en mooie beplanting. De huisjes zijn vrij ruim en heel netjes onderhouden. In het restaurant eet je zeer smakelijke gerechten met o.a. heerlijke handgesneden frietjes! Aanrader!

Cons:

De elektriciteit viel meermaals per dag uit, maar hier kunnen ze wellicht weinig aan doen.

Excellent stay, nothing bad to say, stay here if planning a visit to Sigiriya 👍🏻
Pros:

We loved our 4 night stay here at La Dolce Vita. The pool was incredible and the lovely breakfasts even better! 😋 easy walk to local restaurants and bars and very close to Lion rock (would recommend 5am sunrise 🌅). Special thanks to all the staff, especially Sala and Bruno the dog for his cuddles 🥰

Cons:

Nothing
