Standing appréciable calme et confort
Pros:

Une très belle expérience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nous tenions à féliciter le gérant ainsi que toute son équipe pour leur professionnalisme, leur réactivité et leur disponibilité. Le service est véritablement haut de gamme, avec une équipe très serviable et attentive aux besoins de ses clients.

Nous n’avons malheureusement pas eu le temps de profiter de la piscine, mais nous avons particulièrement apprécié le déjeuner, qui était à la fois très copieux et savoureux.

Mention spéciale également pour la literie, particulièrement confortable, qui nous a permis de passer une excellente nuit. La chambre offre par ailleurs une très jolie vue sur la végétation environnante, dans un cadre vraiment paisible.

L’établissement est également très calme, ce qui était parfait pour nous après plusieurs journées de voyage.

Une excellente adresse, avec un service irréprochable. Nous recommandons sans hésiter ! 🇱🇰✨

Great view, amazing staff and well worth staying here
Pros:

Great view both from the room, the restaurant and the pool. We also very much enjoyed the room itself, which was cozy and had close access to everything. The staff was some of the kindest, helpful and most attentive we’ve experienced on our trip and we felt genuinely welcome here.

Cons:

It’s not the easiest place to access, but luckily, we had a driver, which made it easy to get there

Deeeeelicious
Pros:

We had the most amazing evening at Theva. After a disappointing start to our evening in Kandy, Theva completely exceeded our expectations and turned it into a truly memorable experience.

The food was exceptional — without doubt the best meal we have had so far in Sri Lanka. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavour and clearly made with great care. A special mention has to go to the cauliflower dish — it was absolutely incredible and something we would highly recommend everyone tries!

The setting is beautiful, but what really made the evening special was the incredible team. The service was outstanding, and a special thank you to the wonderful manager, Wasantha, who went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome and looked after. His warmth, kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference.

We were visiting as a family with our 8-year-old daughter and everyone made us feel completely comfortable and included. It was the perfect balance of luxury, relaxation and authentic Sri Lankan hospitality

Thank you to Wasantha and the whole team at Theva for giving us such a memorable evening. This has been a real highlight of our Sri Lanka trip and we would highly recommend Theva to anyone visiting Kandy
