My first time in Sri Lanka and traveling solo, FMV was a haven of safety, and truly felt like my “home away from home”.

In addition to perfectly seasoned vegetarian food that was organic and healthy, Akila served fresh tropical fruit and Sri Lankan tea/chai any time of the day. He ensured that everything from my laundry to my hike up to the top of the tea plantation hill was carefully orchestrated and I always felt like someone was watching over me, a critical component for peace of mind when traveling alone to a different country on a faraway continent.

I was loathe to leave this picturesque Villa and Akila’s generosity of time & spirit, along with the watchful care bestowed upon me by the owner, remotely from Colombo. FMV has been cherry-picked as a villa on the famed Pekoe TeaTrails so come visit before this secret gem gets on tourists radars.
