Guestbook for Villa Kurulla

"We certainly did enjoy our stay at the villa. It exceeded all expectations. We fell in love with not only the villa but also Sri Lanka and will be back. The staff were great, the cook excellent."
Dec 2009 Millers

"My husband and I have stayed at Kurulla house on our own and with friends. No matter how many in our party Chandana is always ready and smiling, the villa in impeccable condition and the grounds soothing. We live in Colombo and it is an absolute delight to leave the big sooty city and arrive at the gates of Kurulla. As soon as it swings open we all take a deep breath and know we are home again. A stunning holiday, close to everything with anything you need at your fingertips. As I write this I think I should keep quiet as I would love to have it all to myself... "

"We had a fabulous at your two villas in Galle.
Everyone was charming and helpful. The pool and view at Malgedara were just stunning. Kurullaah is a fabulous house and the proximity to the beach meant we whizzed back and forwards in a tuk tuk which the kids loved. I will recommend your villas to any-one who asks. "
