Peaceful, Yet Close to Everything

The residence sits in a quiet, leafy corner of Kandy — close enough to walk or take a short tuk-tuk ride to the lake, the temple and the city's markets, yet far enough to wake to birdsong. Kandy is also the perfect base for exploring the Cultural Triangle and the tea country.
