From the first time we emailed Samagi Villa and heard back from the lovely Nami and her husband Manjula, we immediately felt a sense of reassurance that our visit to Polonnaruwa would be worth the effort. The sole purpose of our visit to Polonnaruwa was to visit one of the surrounding National Parks in the hope of seeing wild Elephants. The fact that Samagi Villa offers excellent accommodation as well as private safari tours made them a perfect choice for our visit.

The small town of Polonnaruwa has so much more to offer than we first expected. Staying in this picturesque region provides easy access to several National Parks with a wide variety of wildlife, however little did we know, that the town itself also has a wonderful history with some fascinating ancient ruins scattered throughout the township.
Upon our arrival into Polonnaruwa town, it took one quick phone call and Mr Manjula was there within 5 minutes to pick us up and check us in to our beautiful cottage. The villa itself was such a wonderful surprise! Set in a small complex with only one other neighbour, these 2 bedroom private cottages are a wonderful private little haven for your stay in Polonnaruwa. |

Our Deluxe Cottage had a lovely balcony where we enjoyed our breakfast, a large living room with huge TV and computer with Wi-Fi, a dining room, a modern bathroom and in the near future it will also have a self contained kitchen! The cottage is air-conditioned, impeccably clean and has incredibly comfortable beds. We enjoyed our delicious breakfast on our private balcony where we had fresh fruit, yoghurt, eggs, bread, sausages, potato and delicious hot tea. It was the perfect fuel to start our day sightseeing in Polonnaruwa and when we were ready, we took off on the complimentary bicycles provided by Samagi Villa. |
Samagi offers a small menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a variety of drinks and snacks which is very helpful at night when you want to enjoy the comfort of your cottage rather than going into town. Polonnaruwa town is a 2 minute drive away and has some excellent local restaurants as well as a supermarket some fruit stalls and a museum.
Whether you’re a family, a group of friends or a couple, this is the sort of place you could happily settle in and stay for a week! The homey atmosphere, the friendly owners and the beautiful landscape surrounding the property make Samagi Villa one of those places you never want to leave.
