Serendip is a refurbished colonial bungalow set in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Its vegetarian-meals only policy will delight many and may even give the doubters a chance for a different culinary experience. This old stone bungalow has been caringly revived by a Sri Lankan / Swiss couple, maintaining the old architectural features and infusing them with elements of contemporary design. Interiors are stylish with soothing neutral colours, blend of antiques and modern furniture, cooling cement floors, wooden pillars and verandahs. Relax in a planter’s chair on the verandah, soak in the Jacuzzi in the back garden, and at night dine under the stars surrounded by scented candles and oil lamps. Gardens scattered with fruit trees attract numerous species of birds. Serendip is rented per room, but provides much privacy. |
