This property has amazing views, so clean and beautiful. The best thing about this place though is the family, I will never forget how warm hearted they were and instantly felt like they cared for me. We chatted a lot, and we all ate together in the evenings, easily will be one of my most cherished memories in Sri Lanka. You have to stay here!! Kindest people ever.

The place is amazing in every single way. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Outstanding views and very quiet area, just 15 mins away from the city centre by tuk tuk. The family is lovely and very helpful. The food and the cooking class are beyond words. I definitely recommend this homestay to everyone one.

Very friendly hosts, seeing to all your needs.price is extremely good for all the comfort. Location is a bit far from any shops and restaurants, you will require a tuk tuk or pick me/uber.. However you can order food directly via the uber eats or pick me apps with speedy delivery. Would recommend to anyone!!

From the moment I set foot in The Grove, I knew I was in for an experience that was unparalleled. Nestled atop a hill, the property exudes a serenity that's hard to find in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The design and architecture are nothing short of stunning - a delightful fusion of modern touches with traditional elegance. Uncle and Aunt, who manage the property, are the heart and soul of The Grove. Their warmth and humility are truly a rarity, making guests feel not just welcome, but like a part of their family. The stories they shared, the laughter that echoed, and the hospitality they extended made my stay unforgettable. The Grove's staff are its unsung heroes. Always wearing a bright smile, they are attentive, efficient, and ever so helpful. Whether you need guidance on local sightseeing or just a chat about life in Kandy, they're there for you, making sure every moment of your stay is comfortable and joyous. The Grove's pièce de résistance has to be its breathtaking swimming pool. Positioned in a way that seems to merge with the horizon, swimming here feels like floating amidst the clouds. Offering views that are second to none, this pool is a slice of paradise where the water mirr Now, let's talk about the breakfast. In a word, it's spectacular. The flavors, the presentation, the freshness – everything was spot on. Waking up to such a scrumptious spread amidst the cool hill breeze and a panoramic view of Kandy's undulating landscapes is a memory I'll cherish for years. Though The Grove is a tad removed from the city's chaos, that's precisely its charm. The tranquil ambiance and the breathtaking hill views serve as a perfect antidote to the frenzied pace of urban life. In conclusion, if there's one place in Kandy where luxury meets nature and warmth meets wonder, it's The Grove. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here; it's worth every penny, and then some.

Exceptional hospitality and kindness from the owners The room was comfortable and very clean. The area is quiet and I enjoyed listening to the nature all around. The location is great and is it is still in walking distance to the city but just 20 minute walk or so to the guest house and you are in nature Very tasty food and the owners were very helpful when I needed to plan a trip. Very satisfied with my stay and will definitely come and stay again if I come back to Kandy.
