This villa with mountain views features carpeted floor, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and slippers. A private entrance leads guests into the villa, where they can enjoy some fruits. The accommodation is non-smoking.

This place is so wonderful! The room was very clean and comfortable, with good mosquito nets and hot water. The balcony is perfect for relaxing with the view... The breakfast was a feast and the dinner was absolutely delicious too and so reasonably priced. The family are so lovely and we're happy to chat with us and help us to make some plans. The location is about 20 minute walk into Ella town, or a 5 minute tuk tuk. You can walk to the start of the Ella rock trail from here too. I'd totally recommend staying here!

Full English/Irish and Italian breakfast options with warm dishes, fresh pastries and pancakes are available each morning at the villa. As an added convenience, Astral Zone Cottage ELLA offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property.

It was utterly charming. The cottage was quiet except for the sounds of many birds. The hosts could not of been nicer and so helpful. The food was unbelievable, and beyond amble portions. Gourmet Sri Lankan Food I will never forget. Sitting out on the beautiful veranda overlooking the garden and distant hills was magical. The owners also connected me with the best tour/ tuk tuk driver ever. He not only took me to where I wanted to go he stayed with me ready to help me. Plus he suggested places off the tourist norm and really made my stay special.

Such a beautiful stay and a very kind and accommodating family. The father drove us everywhere in his tuk tuk and the daughter helped my mom plan a big birthday surprise compete with a cake for myself and my sister. The daughter even came up to my room and brought me chocolate for my birthday! This place is peaceful and clean. They have everything - laundry service, breakfast, a driver, and more. We loved staying here.

    This hotel is absolutely stunning. The view from the room was priceless. Sharma and his team went out their way to give us 3 perfect night is Chill Ville. Really recommend the cooking class. 15min drive to Ella centre, that can be arranged by the hotel. Best breakfast we had in whole Sri Lanka. They offer both western and local food. It feels very domestic. They only have 7villas so you get a very peronal approach which is so nice.

    We loved our time at Ella Retreat! Maybe our favourite place in Sri Lanka 😀 The cottage is beautiful and very connected to the nature, it felt very earthy yet luxurious. The staff were all so lovely and helpful, and were always there to help arrange a tuk tuk ride into town (and even to go to Little Adams Peak at 5am for sunrise!) or to give directions for a walk. We loved the yoga classes with the fantastic Ruwan and the cooking class. And thanks for helping to look after our baby, Manu! 🙏
