Description from owner

Description

Little Cove, a two bedroom pavilion house built in Sri Lankan Palladio style was completed in 2013. With hand selected antique doors and windows, complete with terrazzo flooring throughout, Little Cove is an exquisite example of Sri Lankan architecture and design. The residence has two large bedrooms with their own bathrooms and a double height semi-open living area overlooking the garden and private pool.

Little Cove is set in a secluded and very private garden in a corner of the compound. Access to the beach is via a side gate from where it is just a few yards down to the water.

Little Cove comes with a full staff to attend to your every need from making the beds to preparing mouthwatering meals. The rental does not include meals however it does include a private chef who is available to prepare delicious dishes from an a la carte menu. Meals are charged at cost +30% which gives you access to restaurant quality food, made to order, for a fraction of the price of eating out.

Please note that whilst Little Cove has a guest fridge and facilities for making hot drinks, it is *not* a self-catering villa and does not have a hob or oven.
