I'd start off by saying I/we had an amazing stay at floating mountain villa (FMV). Im so glad I chose FMV as our holiday destination and I'd do that all... read more over again. We were a group of 10 + a lil baby boy and the stay will be always a memorable one.. Leme list why:

1. Gowri, the owner.. Is super super helpful and was so welcoming. Im so glad the first villa we chose turned out to be owned by a very rude person who was not willing to help at all.....which eventually directed us towards gowri. Gowri is such an understanding villa owner, and trust me we have been to many villas and have never ever felt this comfortable... I kid you not..
2. Akila.. Everyone has spoken about him in the reviews and he is indeed one of the best employees any hotel/villa can have. He gave us a 5 star hotel experience in a villa (VERY REAR) and always willing to help. Gowri always speaks so high of him and eben calls him a blessing . He would be one of the reasons we go back to the villa.. Not forgetting that he stayed up till abt 2 am thinking we might get hungry (after dinner) and i had to force him to end the day and had to give him a lecture in the morning ‍♀️.
3. The cheff, Suranga ( i dnno wthr i got the name wrong) and uncle.. They were so helpful and always with a very genuine smile.. Our lil munchikin almost lost a pool ball and the cheff decided to go find it for us.. . Suranga insisted on ironed mine and my husbands clothes and uncle was always wiling to help even before we asked him to....
4. The villa.. Clean rooms with an amazing view. I was in Magnolia and the cinnamond air freshner, comfortable room, a balcony which opens to a diferent world. The kovil bell noice and the music from the kovil, in the background, with no doubt, complimented the Villa.
5. The food. I cannot get over the soups we were served as the starter, chocolate mousse and the amazing home made icecream with nuts.. Im gonna get akila to get me a huge tub of that icecream for sure....not forgetting thwe Unlimited tea, coffee and cookies...

I can go on and on.. But i dont think a few words will be sufficient. Dispite our busy schedule, if one goes outta the way and writes such a long review, it kinda explains how much this place has grown inside me.. I SIMPLY LOVED IT.. and so did my friends..

Cant wait to go back.. Soonn we shall

PS: admist all the plusses the ONLY two minusses were that the road to the villa is a bit bumpy ( was a good 900m walk though with a beautiful view.. Worth the walk..you can also park ur vehicle at the bottom of the hill and akila will come for the recue as usual).....
and I was bitten by many bugs (usually the case when u spend outdoors. But make sure to take bug repelant/ or anything which keeps you away if u have sensitive skin )

  Pros- Great Hospitality(Specially by the Manager Akila), Good view, Extra Activities (Billiards, Hiking, Carom, Badminton), Quality Food
Cons- Accessibility is difficult if you don't have a 4x4(Resort will arrange... read more the needful transportation), Bit of overpriced.
