    Fantastic Villa in Galle – true tranquility!
    This was an amazing villa with an attentive and kind staff. The location was excellent and it was a great haven to escape the hot streets of Galle. The service was excellent throughout and the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed. The pool table and outdoor pool were a great addition. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return one day. Thank you for helping us finish our family holiday in real style.

    What a find! A true Oasis within the heart of Galle Fort
    We spent a wonderful 2 nights at this home in the heart of the Fort, just around the corner from Amangalla. The entrance and interior spaces are breathtaking and beautifully designed with soaring ceilings and lots of comfy outdoor seating spaces. The air-conditioned games room (with a pool table and a large couch) was a welcome respite from the summer heat and towards the back of the property is a small pool. The main building (which dates back over 300 years) features the master suite and then in the center, there are two additional connecting bedrooms. At the back of the property is a guest suite. All rooms were spacious and comfortable with all the amenities you could wish for. The villa comes with a congenial, well-trained staff and an excellent chef. Would highly recommend this home for families or groups of friends traveling together.

    An oasis in the heart of Galle Fort
    We had a too short stay in this magnificent villa in the heart of Galle Fort. We were warmly welcomed by the villa’s attentive staff with chilled towels and cool drinks. We were deeply impressed by the quality of the villa’s interior design and furnishings. The indoor and outdoor living spaces were elegant and comfortable, as were the bedrooms and modern bathrooms. We enjoyed a magnificent dinner prepared by the villa’s very capable chef and a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast featuring our favorite hoppers. The villa is ideally located for exploring Galle Fort and all it has to offer.

    Luxurious stay in this stunning home is made all the more enjoyable by the excellence of the extensive library. The staff was friendly and attentive, with superbly cooked breakfasts, strong wi-fi, good air-con, and a supremely comfortable bed. It was so peaceful and relaxing. An absolute gem.
