Appartamenti a Heenatigala

What an amazing experience from start to finish. I was apprehensive regarding booking a new destination, particularly as this was no ordinary 'holiday,' this was our 25th wedding anniversary, and to celebrate the occasion, we planned on renewing our vows and getting married again! After looking at many destinations around the world, we decided on Sri Lanka, after many more searches we decided on The Divine Villa. You can imagine the questions, we needed to know everything... For example: we asked, can you arrange photographers, wedding cakes, caterers, florists, entertainment and a million other details that any wedding organiser will tell you need answering! The wife can be a little 'picky' and needed to know all the details - Christophe and Diane eased the process with many 'what's app' chats and zoom conversations, they arranged everything, if it was a challenge, they never let on, they kept us informed of options and made great suggestions, suggesting dancers and fireworks, guiding us with prices and keeping to within a set budget, the last piece of the puzzle was finding a celebrant that would 'marry us” again, Diane took us personally to meet Father Waas, he was very accommodating, he had never officiated over vow renewals before, but with the experience of other wedding, he officiated the event with both sincerity and understanding. From confirming the booking to the 'event' was 8 months, in this time everything was confirmed, we loved the fact that we had the option of booking the entire villa, making it our own special place for 7 wonderful nights. The day was amazing, and far exceeding our expectations. To the usual holiday requirements - Taxi transfers from the airport with people arriving from around the world on different days were seamless, Diane arranged day trips to safaris, and other amazing places that should not be missed, from fish markets, local beaches and superb restaurants. Sometimes this was arranged in large airconditioned taxis, but also in good old Tuk Tuks, arranging a convoy for everyone! The staff at the villa were just amazing and attentive with food and drinks without te feeling of ‘hovering’, meeting everyone’s needs, for example some in our group not like seafood, others didn’t like spice, but nothing was a problem, and the food was superb in freshness, quality and quantity. Following our stay, we travelled through Sri Lanka for another 5 days but at no point did we find anything that matched the Divine Villa. A truly wonderful place and we will definitely be returning . Rooms: Each room has been tastefully designed and decorated to the highest standards, the bathrooms are spacious and perfect Food and drinks: The food is prepared daily with fresh produce from the local markets, everything is done to your liking.
