Hotel in Sigiriya Cottage carini e forniti di ogni necessità! La sistemazione è dotata di un ampia camera e un ampio bagno! Super consigliato anche per la colazione! Inoltre lo staff è molto gentile e il ragazzo che gestisce organizza delle cooking class Ps: ovviamente non è un hotel di lusso!

Go if you love cooking! We had a great experience. Sajee en Suzy are very nice and patient. We used fresh ingerients from their own garden and gave a lot of information about the used herbs and spices. After 3 hours we cooked a complete meal and it was delicious. Also the setting of the place is very nice, so we fully recommend this experience! So, don't hesitate and go there if you are interested in Sri Lankan food.

Stupenda cooking class! Autentica! Abbiamo chiesto al nostro driver di portarci a fare un’esperienza di cucina locale fuori dalle solite proposte turistiche, e non potevamo chiedere di meglio. Sajee e sua moglie ci hanno accompagnato alla scoperta della cucina dello Sri Lanka con grande simpatia e cordialità… sembrava un po’ di essere a casa di amici. Abbiamo preparato e cucinato insieme molti piatti imparando molto sulla loro cultura. La lezione si conclude con una squisita cena dei piatti cucinati. Non per merito nostro 😅… ma i piatti cucinati con Sajee sono stati i più buoni mangiati in Sri Lanka! Utilizzano solo ingredienti freschissimi e si sente! Ci ha anche inviato tutte le ricette dei piatti cucinati per poterli preparar a casa ! A chiunque voglia provare un’esperienza di cucina autentica in Sri Lanka non posso che consigliare Sajee e la sua famiglia! Grazie di tutto!

Must-do for foodies in Sri Lanka! Incredible experience learning to cook delicious Sri Lanka food! Suzy and Sajee were excellent hosts, carefully explaining all of the ingredients and combinations and helping me to cook more delicious food than I ever thought I could 😊 next time I'll be brave enough to make it even spicier as I have all the recipes to keep on experimenting at home! The best was that we had a feast sampling all the curries after. Highly recommended and thanks again!

À faire absolument !!!! Incontournable ! Nous avons passé un moment hors du temps avec Sajee et Suzy. Nous avons pu cuisiner 6 currys différents de légumes, du poulet, ainsi qu’une salade le tout accompagné de riz blanc. Tout était délicieux et quel plaisir de mettre la main à la pâte ! Les enfants étaient plus que ravies. Notre fils à pu faire lui même de la moutarde avec une sorte de pilon… Bref n’hésitez pas une seule seconde ! Foncez les yeux fermés ! Magnifique souvenir de vacances. Merci encore

Fantastic cooking experience We had a great time cooking with Sajees and Suzy! They were very knowledgeable about all the spices used in the cooking process. We got to experience making an authentic 7 curry and rice the Sri Lankan way! Made our own mustard cream and coconut milk used in making most of the dishes. We got to eat our creations at the end and they were delicious! Couldn’t recommend this enough if you want to learn a great skill to take home! All recipes and instructions were sent to us so we can make after our holiday!

We fully recommend this experience, so if you love Sri Lankan food, don't hesitate and go.
