An unforgettable experience, a welcoming, smiling, warm family who took the time to explain, let us do I highly recommend to all culinary lovers Idyllic setting
Service, ambience and food was incredibly delicious. The cooking class with the Aunti is also highly recommended!!
We stayed at Kandy Living Villa and Homestay for two nights and it was a wonderful experience. Out of the bustle of the main city overlooking the family’s farm and gardens it’s a quiet oasis to relax. We attended the cooking course where we learned about all the spices and fruits they grow that are used for making the food on site, and then made a traditional clay pot rice and curry dish which was delicious and so fun! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were delicious and so fresh! The whole family are so welcoming and we would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Kandy.
Experience 10! The girls explain it all with incredible illusion and clarity!! The best local food we've had all trip. I recommend it 100%!
The best cooking class I’ve been to. Lovely people in a gorgeous setting. We cooked 7 dishes and Roti Thoroughly recommended
We just wrapped up our class and had an amazing experience! Even though I arrived 45 minutes late, Sandy was incredibly accommodating and made sure I didn’t miss out. The session was both informative and fun — I learned a lot and genuinely enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
Best cooking class I've been to. There were only four of us and had one of the most beautiful evenings in a long time. Great explanation of the products and everything from your own garden!
We absolutely loved the cooking class! First we got a very interesteing tour of the garden with a lot of spices and got explained all the benefits of the food. Then the class was held in a traditional outside kitchen. The Auntie showed us how to do everything and everyone was soo nice. The food at the end was delicous! The whole place is really cute and has a calm vibe. We can definetly recommend the cooking class.
It was ready amaizing and tasty. Really must have experience of local traditional cooking and food.
Fantastically well organized with very knowledgeable people. Very informative and enjoyable. Highly recommend.
