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:

Un havre de paix!
Pros:

Un établissement parfait pour se ressourcer. Une piscine top! Une décoration des chambres, du jardin parfaite. L'ambiance est conviviale et très cool. On a adoré manger au restaurant de l'hôtel. Les cocktails, les plats, les petits déjeuners. Tout était ultra frais et avec beaucoup de saveurs. Bravo!

Allez-y les yeux fermés.

Relaxing stay at this laid back but well equipped hotel
Pros:

Clean, comfortable room opening onto private verandah facing the pool and gardens. We enjoyed our couple of nights here, it’s very well situated for all the local attractions and restaurants but located in quiet private grounds. Good service in the restaurant and friendly, attentive staff. I would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Nothing. Liked this hotel.

I miss it already!

Great location. Loved my room. Felt like I was in a little bubble of peace, a home away from home. Food was amazing too. I will definitely be back! Staff were very kind and friendly.

Fantastisch
Pros:

De sfeer, het is een kleinschalig, zeer goed onderhouden hotel (slechts 5 kamers) en er hangt een hele leuke vibe!
Heerlijk eten: we hebben er 4 keer gegeten en alles was top. Ze hebben ook heel lekkere cocktails.
Het personeel is heel vriendelijk en alles gebeurt met de glimlach.
Mooie ruime kamers en badkamers.
Groot mooi zwembad.
Voor ons was dit veruit de beste accommodatie in Sri Lanka tot nu toe!

Cons:

Niks
