Wir haben eine Woche in dem traumhaften Ferienhaus in Bentota verbracht. Ein Haus in altem Kolonialstil und einem wunderbaren Garten mit großem und sehr gepflegtem Swimmingpool. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Unsere sehr sympathischen Gastgeber waren bei Fragen und Wünschen immer sofort hilfreich zur Stelle. Die Lage des Hauses ist ruhig, aber der Strand, Geschäfte und Bahnhof sind in 15 Minuten zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Wir können dieses wunderschöne Haus in jeder Beziehung für einen Urlaub empfehlen. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen.
