Ideal for peace & nature lovers. You can expect a warm welcome and great care by Nalin & Sanjeewani. Nalin is very welcoming and he will ensure all your requests are attended. You can enjoy a nice breakfast or dinner at their beautiful deck overlooking the mountains or choose to rest by the bonfire at night tasting some delicious pizza. They also have a lovely breakfast menu as well as an ala carte menu. All the food we had was great. The villa is a little away from Ella city, so if you wish to visit Ella city, remember to make some provision for travelling. A great stay and super service :) - **Sadiq J** (3/5 via TripAdvisor): "Nice property - Sad to get horrendous food and service" - The location is quite remote—it's nowhere near Ella. The nearest town, Wallawaya, is about a 30 to 45-minute drive away. If you have your own vehicle, that’s manageable; otherwise, there’s absolutely nothing nearby. The property itself is nice, and the rooms are good. However, the air conditioning seemed poorly maintained and didn’t work well. Overall, the location is good.Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. The food was inedible and served with an arrogant, take-it-or-leave-it attitude. The person who called himself the chef also doubled as a room and pool cleaner and seemed overly comfortable, often wandering in and sitting on the sofa uninvited - **Yasas Senanayake** (5/5 via Google): "The food was absolutely amazing " - Araliya Villa is a lovely bungalow nestled up in a mountain with a beautiful view. It's a wonderful location to wind down and relax. The food was absolutely amazing and we loved every single meal we had. The hike to Visari ella was also a really great adventure. Anil was an absolute star and made sure that our stay was very comfortable. We have no hesitation in highly recommending. - **Lotsof_kids** (5/5 via TripAdvisor): "Idyllic spot with luxury feel" - We stayed in the ‘Clubhouse’ for 2 nights and wished we could stay for much longer - what a treat! Rooms are spacious, each with king sized bed and a single bed, beautiful outside bathroom (netted for insects) and access to the long wide balcony with plunge pool, living and dining area plus fabulous views. It’s wonderfully quiet - the pay off is to get this level of peace, it’s a little south of Ella - and staff are kind & helpful. It’s a gem of a place - don’t hesitate, book now! - **Udara Perera** (5/5 via Google): "Staff is super friendly" - Superb place to visit. Had a great time there. View and the atmosphere is out of this world. Their A la cart menu has a big selection and their fire wood pizza is a must try. We have tried their traditional meal Iringu Bath ( Rice) that was an out of this world experience. Staff is super friendly.
