Villa Shenandoah

Villa Shenandoah overlooks Kandy city and is located high above surrounded by jungle with local monkeys that visit from time to time. The staff are helpful and friendly and I was looked after by the owner who organised a day trip of Kandy which was action packed, as well as driving me to my next location the following day. The pool was pleasant to swim in and dinner was taken on a small terrace. My room was in the main building and very large but a little run down. It did have a fridge though as well as a/c and the usual coffee/tea facilities. As a solo traveller I felt safe and cared for.

We had a great stay at Shenandoah. The breakfast and dinner options were both great, the room was nice and the pool is fantastic with an amazing view over the mountains. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We went on several excursions with Dinuk and he was amazing. Really interesting and knowledgable and very friendly too. I would definitely recommend staying here and travelling with Dinuk to experience Kandy and the surrounding areas!

This hotel is a 10! Super great deal for the money. The breakfast was Huge and delicious! The rooms spacious, clean and comfortable. All rooms have a fridge, AC, hot water and large bed. The mattress was thick and perfect firmness for both my girlfriend and I. The staff and owner were so friendly. They helped us with everything we neededneeded, especially Mahendren. Everything on their menu was fresh and a good price. The hotel is located high up from the city in a peaceful hill top overlooking mountains and nature. They have four rooms and a gorgeous pool. With so few rooms it feels like you have the place to yourself. We relaxed by the pool most of the day and Mahendren brought us drinks, food and water to the pool or our hotel room. Our room was separated from the main home. It had a patio with a gorgeous very of the mountains. We highly recommend the mango lassi and passion fruit mojito. We met two other couples who all raved about the hotel and commented that it looked even better than the pictures! They only wish they stayed longer LOL. Support locals and stay here. Things to note: You are surrounded by nature so we had a few ants inside the room but they were no bother at all. The outside lights infront of our room atracted insects and could see bats flying by for a night snack. The entire hotel area power shuts off from around 6:30-7:30pm. At first we thought it was a nuisance but it is was the perfect time star gazing. At about 8 am some birds were pecking on the windows. I guess they thought their reflection was another bird haha. Overall highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed an excellent stay at villa Shenandoah. The owner/manager Dinuk went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, including upgrading our room free of charge and giving us Christmas gifts! The breakfasts and dinners were excellent and hotel staff were attentive and charming. The villa is in a great and quiet location overlooking Kandy with great views to the mountains beyond. This was our favourite hotel from our month long stay travelling around Sri lanka, would highly recommend 10/10.

Very beautiful rooms with good facilities. Excellent service from the staff. Tasty and fresh breakfast and dinner, I really like it. Fresh air from the montains, really relaxing my body and mind. Having services at this high level but also privacy (they have just few rooms) it is the rare privilege.

A beautiful place to stay when you visit Kandy. The villa offers very large rooms with a beautiful view of the mountains.It has a very nice garden with a very very nice pool. The restaurant makes delicious food! Try the prawn curry :) Very friendly people!

Die Zimmer sind sehr gerräumig und sauber. Der Ausblick nach Kandy ist sehr schön. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr bemüht und man wird wirklich gut umsorgt. Das Infinity-Pool ist traumhaft! Das Essen war sehr gut - leider waren nicht alle Speisen auf der Speisekarte verfügbar. Wir können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Chambre exceptionnelle avec vue et balcon. Piscine et restaurant magnifique. Accueil du propriétaire et personnel surtout mahindra fabuleux . Rien à dire on se sens comme à la maison. Petit déjeuner copieux et très varie. Dîner du soir parfait

Villa Shenandoah is een fantastisch hotel, vlakbij Kandy. Het ligt hoog in de heuvels boven de stad, waardoor je een fantastisch uitzicht hebt van op je kamer, aan het zwembad of vanop het terras van het restaurant. De eigenaar en het personeel zijn heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Je kan er terecht voor een uitstekende service (vervoer naar Kandy, regelen van trein naar Ella, vervoer naar Nuwara Eliya). Mr. Dinuk (de eigenaar) hielp ons ook nog met een probleem met onze volgende accommodatie, waarvoor nogmaals onze dank! De kamer was ruim, de wifi & airco uitstekend en de douche aangenaam. Het hotel heeft een heel goed restaurant en biedt een uitstekend ontbijt aan. Het hotel heeft ook een wasservice, want na bijna twee weken rondtoeren in Sri Lanka zeker welkom was :-) We kunnen deze locatie zeker aanbevelen!
