Ella : locations de vacances avec brasero

We only had 3 nights in the Tea Cabin but could easily have stayed for longer. We have visited many Airbnbs but this one stands out from all the rest due to its stunning location and beautiful views over the tea plantations and mountains. To wake up to those views is something we’ll never forget. We were very well looked after and all requests are dealt with via a group chat which is set up before arrival. Top tip for anyone visiting SL for the first time you must buy an e-SIM at the airport. We used Dialog and it only cost £4 for 20GB and they set your phone up for you. We were collected from Ella railway station even though the train was running late and a free tuk-tuk was available throughout. The staff were incredibly helpful, polite, responsive and respectful. One standout day for us walking the railway tracks behind the cabin all the way to the Nine Arches Bridge which must be done! We had two very enjoyable evenings down in Ella each time using the free tuk. Highly recommended!

Anjelo was a fantastic host and super responsive throughout and I can't thank the caretaker for the house, Keerthi, enough for taking care of my family when we stayed for a couple of nights. Keerthi helped arrange meals, took us around in his tuktuk to tourist sites, restaurants, the money exchange and even nearby shops and was always reachable within minutes and made our whole experience much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Anjelo's house !

The moksha is truly so beautiful. It’s soooo close to Ella makes it so easy to just rent a scooty and be able to go into the town for some fun, or drive around the gorgeousssss mountains, or retreat back to the moksha for nature and oasis. Food at the moksha is delicious, Bola and his family are so kind. We really enjoyed this resting place.

Pepper villa is surrounded by a beautiful forest environment and river with wildlife all around. Some insects do find their way inside, we watched dazzling displays by fireflies on some evenings. Dimuthu was an amazing host and showed us around the farm pointing out the different plants and where the best swimming spots were. His parents live in the farmhouse nearby and were very kind and helped us get milk and Kurds from a local farm. There are a couple of small local shops with basic supplies and it's a short bus ride to the nearest town with more shops, cafes and ATMs. We found pepper villa a great place just to relax and well placed for longer excursions by bus, tuk tuk or train.

Lalantha was very responsive throughout the experience and gave information for our itinerary to ensure we made the most of our time in Ella. He was quick to communicate and was accommodating. Lalantha offered to make us dinner and breakfast for a reasonable price and it was very delicious authentic srilankan food. I would recommend to do the same. The place was very clean and in a quiet, peaceful and pretty part of Ella. There are other hotels very close to the property where we went to get some drinks and nibbles. It was perfect for 10 of us with nice outside dining areas and decent sized rooms for sharing. I would recommend having a driver to take you into Ella town and the other sightseeing spots. We were there for one night only and slept comfortably. It does get quite cold in the nightime because of the area so the only negative is I wish some thicker duvets were provided in some of the rooms. Apart from that it was a very smooth experience and very enjoyable.

It was a great stay - we felt very comfortable and the villa was truly lavish with all the facilities. The caretakers Raju and Anand took special care of us by catering to our dietary needs. Highly recommended in and around Ella
