Our two night stay at Villa Talangama was the perfect start to our holiday in Sri Lanka. We had a spacious well-appointed room overlooking wetland, but in effect we had a home and garden. The hospitality provided by Hema and Nirmalie was considerate and discreet, whilst Kasun looked after us so well seeming to anticipate our needs, and proving to... More

Everything that has been written about the Villa Talangama is true and we agree with all the other reviews. We stayed here for 1 night at the end of a 3 week tour of Sri Lanka at the suggestion of Jetwing Eco. It was a wonderful end to our trip. Our only regret was not having 2 nights so we... More

Previous reviews seemed too good to be true but we can only confirm that this place is as near to perfection as we have experienced. A delightful location, spotless accomodation, excellent food and owner and staff who cannot do enough to make your stay as comfortable as possible. As an example this was our first day in Sri Lanka and... More

We were truly treated like royalty, as we have never experienced before, on our two night stay at Villa Talangama. It was our first stop in Sri Lanka on a birding holiday with Red Dot Tours. As it was part of a package we can't comment directly on the price, although our 10 day birding excursion was very reasonably priced... More

This is without doubt one of the best places we have ever stayed in and agree completely with all the other reviews. It is without question deserving of five stars for everything. We spent two nights here at the end of our recent holiday in Sri Lanka. The Villa was not on our itinerary but thanks to the advice of... More

We agree with all others. We got told there is a new chef but she also cooked delicious and I got the recipe for her bread pudding. The hospitality is marvellous and the staff is more than attentive. The owner of the villa is the perfect host. Unfortunately we spend there one night only. I am still dreaming of the... More

This is an "on the spot" review. My wife and I are at the villa as I write, staying two days after our long haul trip, and before we start our tour of the Island. This is day two of our stay, and I cannot fault it. The staff are terrific, the owners brilliant, the food is to die for.... More

We spent our first day and night here after a longhaul overnight flight. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the wildlife-filled wetland and our host and his team could not have been more welcoming and anxious to please. Our evening meal was delicious and presented in some style, whilst breakfast (with multiple options) was on the open... More
