Location Kandy is Sri Lanka's hill country capital, where tropical heat is exchanged
for cooler mountain slopes. Helga's Folly (formerly known as The Chalet Hotel),
nestled on the hills overlooking Kandy lake, is Sri Lanka at its most eccentric.
Accomodation Helga's Folly is a one of a kind unique property, where you will not find
the facilities of a hotel but the comfort of a house. Helga's Folly, says its
flamboyant owner, Helga de Silva, is not a hotel but "an anti-hotel."
This enchanting and alternative place is decorated by antiques, family heirlooms
and flights of fancy. Its blend of Sixties flower-power and high-camp will appeal
to those seeking an imaginative alternative to routine hotel life. A restaurant
meal can be a minor event, and 40 simply-furnished bedrooms are adequate enough
but can lack the sumptuous style and flamboyance of the public areas.
