Lovely boutique hotel made even more special by the people who work here! A warm greeting when we arrived, with towels and juice before being shown to our room. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, an excellent en-suite shower room and a balcony with a view over the pool. The downstairs lounge and breakfast area were also spacious and lovely. Dinner was served outside on a balcony overlooking the front. Dinners were lovely Sri Lankan curries, and Umesh’ grandma’s aubergine curry was particularly wonderful. The portions were very big, too big for us if I am honest, but delicious. Breakfasts were also lovely, fresh fruit and honey curd followed by choice of eggs with bacon and sausage if wanted. Clove Villa is very peaceful, and it was lovely to wake up to the sounds of birds. It is well-placed to visit the relic of the tooth temple, Kandy market, and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Special thanks to Danushka and Umesh who were so friendly, helpful and really made our short stay very special.
