We were "out of season" so proved to be the only guests. I think that the first thing to say is that it is better to count this as being a private house in which you will be a guest, rather than counting it as even a "boutique hotel".

We stayed at the Villa Rosa whilst we visited the sights of Kandy. It was in an ideal location away from the hustle and bustle with fantastic views over the river.
