Panwila Holidays from AU$1,475

The staff was very helpful and friendly.

We fell in love with La maison de Colombo! It’s a haven of peace in a sometimes hectic city. The space is spectacular, the furniture, the pool, the rooms, the bedding - everything was done to high level of sophistication and comfort. And the French touch was beyond charming! The French posters mixing effortlessly with the Sri Lankan design was just perfect. The food was also incredible - do not miss the breakfast! - and the dinner felt like it was cooked by a French chef with excellent coq au vin and beef bourguignon. They have a really stylish wine bar as well with great champagne available. It’s the perfect retreat for travelers at the beginning or the end of a trip to Sri Lanka whether you want to ease your way into Sri Lankan lifestyle or transition back from the jungle and have some well earned comforts after travelling around this beautiful island. Christophe and Beatrice made us feel right at home and were very friendly with great stories to tell. We absolutely loved it and as a French national myself it felt like a home away from home.

Fantastic experience, staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Would highly recommend.
