Cottage San Francesco

All good but need more amenities

We went to this amazing place after being frustrated with a hotel we booked earlier. We were too late to check-in after looking out for so many hotels in the are and my fiance just picked this up randomly our of near by hotels. We went there as fast as we could and waited for outside for few minutes for the owner to come and open the door, immediately we were mesmerized by the hotel interior and the owner greetings. He show us 2 rooms and was kind enough to give us a good deal on the best view room in the premises. Facing the towards the Nuwera Eliya. Room was all hardwood floored, cozy blankets and so peaceful, washrooms was filled with all amenities needed and hot water was spot-on. He sent us some fine tea with some ginger biscuits that was s god's sent at the time. Hotel faced Nuwera Eliya town with tea feilds on the front and on the sides there were vegetable fields surrounding. We had nice chat with the owner in the evening and tried to pet one of his cute dogs was guarding under the front porch, although it didn't work :). We asked for dinner at the hotel and it was really nice and affordable, breakfast was fabulous and hearty too. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful us to find a cab in the morning too. Highly recommend if you are looking for us fine , clean and affordable place to stay. Cheers!!

This amazing place offers a beautiful view and is a great choice for staying in the Nuwara Eliya area. We stayed in a King Room with a Mountain View for one night. The room was clean and had a wonderful terrace. Managed by a lovely family, we were greeted with tea upon arrival, and the room was equipped with a heater and a warm blanket—perfect for the cool mountain climate of Nuwara Eliya. Although we arrived late, we were pleased to find that dinner was available. While the menu was limited, it ensured we didn't go to bed hungry. The breakfast was exceptional, one of the best we've experienced in Sri Lanka. Cottage San Francesco is cozy, quiet, and a lovely place to stay.

What a fantastic experience it was staying here. Please ask for Indu to pick you up and drive you around in either his spacious van or locally tuk tuk. He also has a small store nearby with a lovely helpful family. He is a gentleman. The host family are just beautiful people. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are extremely comfortable and well appointed. The views are breathtaking. They also cooked dinner for us one night - which was superb. We were advised to stay here by both family and friends and are so thankful we did.

Wonderful stay at Nuwara Eliya. We had booked 4 rooms. Hotel facilities very well maintained. Rooms are very cleaned. New towels & bed linen. Inbuilt heating facility. Very calm a**osphere. Family style breakfast served on the table. Very friendly staff.

Very perfect there are no other words for this hotel. since we are in Sri Lanka the best solution found. a lovely place just like a mountain chalet, all perfectly clean, functional, new but above all beautiful. the very large room with attention to the smallest details, very spacious and very clean bathroom. we had dinner in the hotel in the evening and she is a super chef, the guys are very good and very nice in their courteous and respectful ways. a magical place. the center is 3km away but it's worth it
