Pros:

Ich weiß gar nicht wo ich anfangen soll. Der Homestay befindet sich sehr zentral, die ersten Restaurants liegen direkt drum rum. Es gibt auch eine kleinere Teefabrik direkt in der Nähe (welche ebenfalls zu empfehlen ist). Sudha, die Gastgeberin, ist eine wirklich sehr liebevolle Frau. Sie hat unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas sehr besonderem gemacht! Es gab nicht nur gute Tipps und tolle Gespräche, auch das Essen war sehr lecker und authentisch! Wir haben hier auch einen Kochkurs gemacht und würden es jedem empfehlen. Es hat so viel Spaß gemacht und die Rezepte werden auf jeden Fall nachgekocht. Wenn wir nochmal nach Sri Lanka kommen, dann definitiv wieder hier her, denn dieser Stay vermittelt direkt ein familiär-wohliges Gefühl!

Excellent
Pros:

I felt as part of a family, the lady running the business gave me good tips to walk around Ella and explore nice gems around. I would highly recommend this place! Location was also very good - in a quiet spot but only a few minutes walking from the main road and 6 to get to the train station. Good bakery on the corner called Nanda Restaurant.

Pros:

Struttura immersa nelle piantagioni di tè, vicino alla stazione del treno e al centro, ma in zona tranquilla senza rumori. La famiglia che la gestisce è stata fantastica, molto accogliente e disponibile. Da loro abbiamo anche noleggiato uno scooter per visitare i dintorni. Camera comoda e pulita, come da foto. Colazione strepitosa
