Very cozy, clean and beautiful homestay with a great view and quiet location. Lovely host took care of us so well, the breakfast and dinner we enjoyed there were some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. She also organized all transfers for us to the Horton Plains and Nanu Oya, which was very convenient. Thanks so much for everything, we will definitely be back!

Don’t know where to stay in Nuwara Eliya? This place will get you an experience that you will remember for long time. If available book it and thank me later. You can get there good advice on what to visit, dinner prepared by the family which is from heaven, do a trail hike in the jungle and the tea fields where the father of the family, Lal, will explain the history of the place. Breakfast is really great. You can get your clothes washed as well. House looks great and the view from there is the best. All the best, Andreea

From

United Kingdom

This is a great place to stay if your traveling between cities and need a place to stop for a night. Its surrounded by tea plantations and a waterfall so plenty to see in the surrounding areas too. The owners were so lovely and fed us well. The room is probably the nicest one we've stayed in during our sri lanka trip. The views are amazing!

United Kingdom

Our stay at Premier Villa in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of exceptional. The location alone is unbeatable—less than a five-minute walk to the city centre, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the town, grabbing a meal, or just enjoying the cool mountain atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel completely at home. He spoke excellent English, which made communication effortless and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. His warmth and professionalism really elevated the whole experience. Breakfast was another highlight. We were given the option between a full English breakfast or a traditional Sri Lankan one. We chose the Sri Lankan breakfast and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. It was honestly one of the best meals we had during our trip. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well maintained. Everything felt clean and thoughtfully arranged, which made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, everything was perfect. Premier Villa is a wonderful place to stay in Nuwara Eliya, combining great hospitality, comfort, and an ideal location. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Kind regards Richard

Pathum

From

Sri Lanka

We stayed in Nuwara Eliya for a week, trying out different places, and J's Villa was the best for its price and super clean. The host was really nice and helped us a lot. We felt at home during our 2-night stay. The host even said they could cook for us if we brought groceries, but we didn't try it because we ate outside. The location is good, not too far from the city – about 15 minutes by car. Overall, it's a really good place to stay in Nuwara Eliya.
