Company info

I have a wife and two graduate sons. My eldest son was married and working in Italy. My wife and I are living together in this house. We have been in Italy for over 11 years and we have residence visa in Italy too. I also worked in the hotel industry for over 35 years in Sri Lanka, Maldives and Italy. Now I am doing tourism as a chauffeur guide in Sri Lanka. The Homestay looks after both of us. My family knows what guests need during their stay and we do our best. You can enjoy your own way like your home. My wife can cook delicious Sri Lankan foods as you wish and can do demonstrations to our clients. You can value our experience. Stay in our Homestay and pay a cheaper price during your holiday.
