    Serenus boutique villa exceeded my expectations every way. The serene ambiance, coupled with stunning lake views, provided the perfect relaxing getaway. Whether you are exploring Nuwaraeliya city or nearby places, this place offers unforgettable experiences. I should mention that the staff is very friendly and supportive in every way. Manager Dushan and his team Chiran, Praveen, Senith, Raju, and Umesh were providing exeptionall service during our stay. Suite was clean and tidy, Foods were delicious. I am highly recommending this place to anyone.

    It is not what we didn't like but some suggestions to further improve the room conditions. The room had only one power point to charge the phones, boil water in the kettle and use the hair dryer. Hope the management can add an additional power point in the room. The adjustable mirror in the toilet was too high and couldn't be lowered. Not suitable for people who are short! The villa provides good breakfast and dinner but no lunch. It would be good if they could add some simple lunch menu for tourists who may want to eat in sometimes.

    We received very warm welcome from everyone at the villa especially Chiran, the Assistant Manager. They were so helpful and attended to all our requests. Ashan, the waiter, always served us with a smile and attended to all our meal needs. Overall, the service provided by everyone in the villa exceeded our expectations! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy villa that faced the lake and beautiful mountains.

    A little far from center of town but only an easy tuktuk ride away.

    The service was wonderful, English spoken well, local information was detailed and correct. Walking distance to a strawberry farm for fancy strawberry and cream. Wonderful fresh vegetable salads and traditional sri lanka foods prepared by a chef. Showers hot and fantastic view from the warm rooms.

    Everything was great.

    Conveniently located, only a short tuk tuk ride to Nanu Oya Station. The villa is surrounded by many tourist attractions like Gregory Lake and Park, Lovers Leap water fall, Pedro tea estate, and factory. Our room was facing the lake - it was very spacious, and we had a lovely view of the hills and tea estates. All the staff are very helpful, polite and very friendly. They helped us arrange transport and negotiate a good price. The food was amazing, there is both Western options and Sri Lankan options. The chef also came and talked to us during dinner to see if everything was okay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and we would definitely return.

    More heat. It was very cold. They said they would come with a heater, but they never came with one for our room. It was raining and cold - but that is not the hotel or the peoples' fault.

    Location is good and the food was also good. It was a nice villa and it has a nice view from the restaurant / Common area. We liked our night there.

    This is the best hotel I had during my visit to Sri Lanka. Clean, comfortable, helpful staff, amazing food, great service, and incredible views on lake Georgy. Chiran was very helpful in answering any question and helping with anything! Breakfast was delicious, and they made me pancakes the last day which was kind and nice gesture. I also had dinner there one night, the food was great!

    Maybe trying too hard?!

    My impression was that the staff is just trying too hard. They were following us every step we took, which at some point was already a bit too much. At checkin I was still filling out papers with a hat and a mask on when they tossed a hot towel into my hand. The gesture is nice, but the timing was terrible, I couldn't really do anything with it at that point. Food is okay, I guess. Breakfast is very continental, I would have enjoyed some Sri Lankan bites, but that's just me

    The villa has a really nice interior design, the rooms and all facilities look great. From the rooms and garden there is a great view on the lake and part of Nuwara Eliya, especially in nice weather. Our room was comfortable and well equipped.
