It was marvelous to experience Geoffrey Bawa's eyes and soul through this stay. Extremely relaxing and beautiful, through out the space and breakfast. The housekeeper Rohana was surprisingly impressive in his hospitality and professional at touring Bawa's residence. Definitely will visit again!

My time at Aathma was one of the best stays I have ever had. The energy there is just beautiful, the staff, the food, the location, the architecture of the house just everything was perfect for me. I felt so welcomed and at ease. If you need time to wind down and recharge, or for any occasion really. Make sure you pay Aathma a visit. I will definitely come again, when in Sri lanka.

Looking for history without kitsch I discovered this discrete Guesthouse . Away from the crowds of Colombo, the spacious room and antique charm gave me a fantastic rest after exploring Sri Lanka’s capital. With all the qualities of a classic hotel I could enjoy style and comfort while maintaining the privacy of home.

We stayed two nights at Greenscape. The personal was so helpful, and always ready to answer questions. The room was big, clean and nicely ventilated. We enjoyed our stay so much, and would recommend. The place is a Tuktuk ride away from the city, so easy access. Its a quiet area and a small walk away from restaurants
