Fresh from their filming in the Maldives, the production team have made a quick hop over to Sri Lanka to shoot Helga’s Folly. The proprietor of this eccentric art hotel was the inspiration for Stereophonics‘ UK hit ‘Madame Helga’, and by the look of her fabulous attire, we can certainly see why! Definitely a front-runner in the Weird & Wonderful style stakes.
I have traveled the world and stayed in amazing, unique hotels and I have to say that Helga’s Folly is my absolute favorite! It is whimsical, chic, artistic, enriching, relaxing. The food is a gastronomics dream! All the details, all the touches, all the magic this place is my all time favorite! And, of course, you cannot go wrong with going to Sri Lanka! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. I hope many others will get a chance to go and have the same experience.
Loved visiting Helga’s Folly when my daughter lived in Kandy.Always liked Christmas, it was particularly magical then. My first impression of Helga’s Folly was of it’s intense colour,it might have been raining and cool outside, but in Helga’s living room warmth radiated, both from the interior and the wonderful hospitality. One of my most delightful memories is sipping on a drink and luxuriating in the reds and hot pinks of that room.
