This was the first stop in our Sri Lankan trip and We weren’t quite ready to brave the hustle bustle of Colombo, Athma house was perfect for that. A small escape where you could admire the city lights over the lake while nestled behind a jungle shield. However central enough for you get out there if you want to. The owner of the property was our highlight. A fabulous well traveled woman with a warm welcoming energy. Her mission to make us feel at home. The interior was a feast for the eyes. Authentic and eccentric. The property was originally built as her home and it still feels that way, lived in and full of soul. Our only regret is we didn’t stay longer. We stayed for one night and would recommend a minimum of two nights.

It was extremely clean, the vegan food (Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner) was excellent. I came from Kandy, but apparently the place is easily accessible from the Katunayaka airport via the highway.

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

We absolutely loved our stay! Excellent location for those who are looking for a more peaceful stay in hectic Colombo. Lovely neighbourhood, very walkable, with lots of great restaurants and cafes very close by. The villa is beautiful and very comfortable. Very spacious room, new bathroom and the bed was comfy. The owner is very nice and we enjoyed talking with him at night. We will definitely come back next time we are in Colombo.
