Not a big deal at all but one suggestion for improvement would be more bedding.

The room was so spacious and host was so hospitable.

The road to the apartment is a little narrow and rough.

The apartment is very clean, staff were so kind and friendly. The place gives you the feeling of serenity with astonishing view.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warm hospitality from the hosts. The real highlight was the breathtaking view. Waking up to such a stunning panorama every morning was pure magic. The breakfast on the terrace was very good. Highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with incredible views and wonderful hosts.

The view is breathtaking and the host, Fernando, does everything to help you and make you feel comfortable. He is really kind. We ordered the breakfeast and dinner, surely recommend! It is an amazing place, near nine arch bridge, little Adams peak and the monastery.

Everything was perfect

The property is in a great location. A 20 minute walk from 9 arch bridge and 15 minutes from ella Central. Everything is clean and well kept.

Everything was wonderful! A great space and beautiful view. The owners are so friendly and helpful. The only thing is it’s a bit out of the way and we struggled to get tuktuks at night occasionally. Overall though, it was a great fit for our group and the owners drove us to town when needed. :)

Excellent hospitality and host is very accommodating and helpful. The view and breakfast was also amazing couldnt ask for better. Only downside is that it is quite deep through a small windy road suitable for tuk tuks. So drivers (like ours) may not be willing to make the trip. But the owner was very accommodating and willing to drop us down to the main road area. Hot water and power was a bit intermittent, especially with the heavy rain first night, but host was quick to respond and provide fixes. Big thank you to Yachi!

All was exceptional

Stayed in January 2025

One of the beds was a little creaky, also couldn’t work out how to change the temperature on the shower.

Spacious room with amazing views. Unfortunately we were all ill whilst we were in Ella but the hosts were so accommodating and really helpful with our baby - providing bowls and washing liquid so we could wash bottles and and cooking baby fresh vegetables to eat. The good thing about us being ill meant that we ate in every night, the portions were massive and the curry was phenomenal. We will definitely return if in Ella again.

We loved our stay. The owners were just delightful. Friendly and accommodating. They will arrange for you a return Tuk Tuk service into town for 1500. Breakfast was super tasty with a choice of American or Sri Lankan (we chose Sri Lankan).

Fernando and his son go out of is way to make you feel comfortabel and welcome. The rooms upstairs are of good quality, the rooms downstairs are a little outdated but still fine for Sri Lankan standards. The breakfast was amazing. The views as well.

There are many bugs... but you're in the jungle so what do you expect!!

Yachi and Fernando were incredibly helpful! Yachi answered all my questions and made sure our stay was super comfortable and enjoyable. They were incredibly welcoming! As the apartment is a bit away from the Ella main street, you have to travel by tuktuk every time you leave and come back, this was made much easier by Yachi who would order us a tuk every time we needed one, and would pre-arrange costs for everything which made planning so simple! The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, to wake up to this view was amazing. I would also highly highy recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast, delicious!

The view from the place is very serene and the place is tucked away from all the noise. If you're looking for some quiet time and a stay with amazing hosts this is the one! This place is closer to the 9 arch bridge and a 15 min drive from city centre. We were aware of this while making the booking and were happy with our choice. Mr. Fernando and Mr. Yachi were both amazing, they made sure our stay was as comfortable as could be with regards to food at the property. They had great recommendations outside as well! Mr. Yachi was kind enough to go out of his way and drive to Ella town just to return something we had left behind. Overall it was a great experience to be surrounded by nature in a comfortable and homely stay.

Beautiful home set in a stunning location. Yachi was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and ensured we had an amazing stay. 10 minutes walk to 9 arches bridge, 30 minutes walk to Little Adam’s peak and 10 minutes drive to Ella town. Sitting on the terrace enjoying dinner and a beer with a remarkable sunset was a great way to end full days.

1/ The place : Ella Panorama Villa is first of all a space where time literally stops, the perfect idea of what would be the nature paradise you expect from Sri Lanka. The peace and silence take you in the same time as this echo of a rich wild animal ecosytem around, magical during the day, and even more in the evening or early morning. 2/ The view : maybe the best view of the region, with a perfect luminosity. Nestled on the mountainside, you are in front of the jungle and breathtaking mounts. You hear, you fell, and you see this wild life. The amazing terrasse is where you will love to chill forever, and take your home made Sri lankan breakfirsts. 3/ The team : what would be your stay without the best possible hosts... Thank you Yachinta, Fernando, and the rest of the team, for your kindness, availability, guided tour, smile... irreproachable ! A real enocuter that definately made our stay an unbelievable experience. 4/ The wide range of activities possible in the region... Yachinta will be your best guide for it. Specal mention to the Udalawala safari park, with the best guide ever !

Fantastic family run homestay. Had many interesting conversations with the family, who made us feel at home. Stay was so good we extended. Location is perfect, a little out of town but an easy walk or the family is happy to provide transport.

Beautiful place with breathtaking views! I would recommend a stay here. Sandaruwan and his Uncle were great hosts, attentive but also respectful of your privacy, knowledgeable of the area and offered advice on places to visit, fantastic spot to visit the Nine Arch Bridge, with a short tuk tuk ride to Little Adams peek. Ella panorama offer homemade breakfast, with a choice of western style or traditional Sri Lankan, I tried both as we stayed 2 nights and both were delicious! Sandaruwan was very helpful with driving us to Ella when we needed to get some supplies and his uncle even drove us 2 hours to Tissamaharama at an extra cost, they also have a great contact for Safari in Yala so be sure to share your plans with them. Our children had a great time at Ella panorama, they got to meet Duke the dog and Tutu the squirrel, which Sandaruwan rescued from the base of a palm tree at only a few days old, he shared has a very big heart. Thank you Ella panorama for a wonderful stay ❤️

Nothing at all.

As the name suggests, you get panoramic views of the Ella mountain range directly from the bed. It's quite close to the 9 arches bridge and the location is bit far from the town but set in a tranquil environment away from the bustle of it. Host was very friendly and accomodating. I would definitely book this place again.
