What is it Really like?
The Kandy House is a unique ancestral manor house providing seclusion and serenity for its guests in a lush, tropical garden setting close to Kandy. In 1804, the last Chief Minister of the Kandyan Kingdom, Ratwatte Adigar, committed an act of “defiant decadence” – he dared to build himself a palatial villa using roof tiles which at that time were decreed only for royal residences.
The Kandy House is with only 9 bedrooms, the aim is to give guests an experience of staying more in a private house than a conventional hotel.
