i have visited Sri Lanka several times and this guesthouse and the sweet couple who run it are one of my fondest memories....also the best food you are going to have comes right out of this kitchen...its dreamy here, a dew covers the grass and hills making everything look like a fairytale. The rooms are clean and comfy and its... More

My husband and I stayed here a week and found it pleasant enough. The room was comfortable and clean with plenty of hot water by solar power. They do not offer laundry service, and I got told off washing my cloths, something I couldn't avoid since we stayed for 7 days. Breakfast is ok - toast, butter, jam, eggs, and... More

When we first arrived at Spica we were made to feel really welcome with a hot cup of tea as it was raining. On first impression the owners of the home are really nice....however it became apparant that, like many people in Sri Lanka, they were only interested in your money. We were told on the phone that the breakfast... More

The house is situated at an elevated point and the view of the mist covered hills from the balcony is just beautiful; the rooms are clean and the bed spreads smell great.... More

I stayed at Spica in August 2011 and I loved it!!!Nice room with balcony and attached bathroom (hot water/solar), a pavillion in a beautiful garden with excellent view, situated quietly on a hill above Kandy, with Kandy easy to reach by walking or the owner will call a Tuk-Tuk for you. The food at Spica is just wonderful - prepared... More

This place ought to be great, but it needs far more care. The sheets are greyish floral polycotton, the bedspread stained, the towels ragged, the roof of the balcony is falling apart, the pretty pergola is used for storing cement, there is no wi-fi, the place is a long walk to the town centre (it's difficult to find a tuk-tuk...
