"If you're looking for a peaceful place away from the tourist crowds in Ella, Mountain Palace is the perfect choice. During our three-week trip through Sri Lanka, my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting the most wonderful and caring hosts here. Our fantastic host, Prasad, runs the accommodation with the support of his lovely mother, and both took such great care of us that we felt truly at home."

"The view is amazing and there is a very nice garden, you can take beautiful hikes straight from the room. it is very quiet, but still you are 13 minutes from Ella. Prasad the owner recommended places to go and drove us everywhere. We even ordered dinner from him with traditional food and it was great."
