Breathtaking view. Every morning I couldn’t believe I woke up in such a beautiful place. The weather in Ella is healing after hot beaches. We stayed in Rokkyhill for 7 days and would definitely stay longer. Kanchana prepared delicious breakfast and took care of everything we requested. She is very kind and friendly. We also rented a bike from her when we needed for the same price as in Ella. Walking downhills towards the railway you could find lots of authentic local cafes.

This villa with mountain views features carpeted floor, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and slippers. A private entrance leads guests into the villa, where they can enjoy some fruits. The accommodation is non-smoking.

This place is so wonderful! The room was very clean and comfortable, with good mosquito nets and hot water. The balcony is perfect for relaxing with the view... The breakfast was a feast and the dinner was absolutely delicious too and so reasonably priced. The family are so lovely and we're happy to chat with us and help us to make some plans. The location is about 20 minute walk into Ella town, or a 5 minute tuk tuk. You can walk to the start of the Ella rock trail from here too. I'd totally recommend staying here!

There is a private entrance at the villa for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

The staff here made our stay wonderful - not only were they always extremely friendly and welcoming, but they went out of their way to help us at every opportunity, even after we had already checked out of the property. They laid on a lovely breakfast in the mornings, offered a tuk tuk taxi service into Ella, and even helped organise our transport out of Ella when our train was cancelled. We were so grateful for all their help and friendliness. The room we stayed in opens out onto a balcony with a view over the beautiful Ella landscape, and had everything we needed for our sadly all too short stay. Although the property is located slightly further out of the centre of Ella, this was never a problem due to taxi service they offer. Overall, we had a lovely stay and once again, and would like to thank the staff for making it so wonderful.

Stay was really really good. At first I was in doubt but when I went inside the property, it was really amazing. Well maintained with all the facilities mentioned. Breakfast was really great. We couldn't eat all of the items which were kept. Would have stayed longer if I knew the place was this great. The plan was already done so stayed for a day here. The view from the balcony is mesmerizing.

    This hotel is absolutely stunning. The view from the room was priceless. Sharma and his team went out their way to give us 3 perfect night is Chill Ville. Really recommend the cooking class. 15min drive to Ella centre, that can be arranged by the hotel. Best breakfast we had in whole Sri Lanka. They offer both western and local food. It feels very domestic. They only have 7villas so you get a very peronal approach which is so nice.

    Gorgeous cabins just outside Ella town for an excellent price. Staff and owner are amazing and so kind - they catered to our every need and took good care of us.

The retreat also organised tuk tuks and taxis for us which was extremely helpful. All the staff were fantastic and a big thank you to Vino for the amazing food and cooking class!

    We loved our time at Ella Retreat! Maybe our favourite place in Sri Lanka 😀 The cottage is beautiful and very connected to the nature, it felt very earthy yet luxurious. The staff were all so lovely and helpful, and were always there to help arrange a tuk tuk ride into town (and even to go to Little Adams Peak at 5am for sunrise!) or to give directions for a walk. We loved the yoga classes with the fantastic Ruwan and the cooking class. And thanks for helping to look after our baby, Manu! 🙏
