Suganda Dascon Nadunge - May 24,2025
I experienced the stay in Cannelle lake villa as wonderful. The two-story house is large, with nice two balconies that provide a nice view of the rice fields and lake. The villa has good furniture and equipped with all amenities. Has four bedrooms with large beds. The beds are very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and large living room that gives the feeling of homeliness. It takes 3-7 minutes by car to restaurants and cafes. The area is nice, The place is very good! Even in bad weather there are many ways to do something or relax and enjoy the day. The location is very quiet and nice. Has a nice garden and a terrace. The garden is full of cinnamon trees. Helpful and nice hosts (brother and sister). We ate very good Sri Lankan food breakfast and dinner that we ordered. It is always good to order the desired food a little in advance for example a day before arrival. I would like to go there again
