32 Middle Street - 03 Bedrooms villa with private pool

The location, was perfect. The breakfast was outstanding. Erandaka 'the chef' cooked perfect egg Hoppers. Possibly the best in Sri Lanka. They were delicious! ... The dhall too was sublime.
The decor is timeless and consists of beautiful vintage/antique furniture, accompanied with stunning artwork and ornaments. I would happily live there if I had the chance.
The bonus would be if Erandaka and Nirmal 'the butler' were included.
Nirmal greeted us when we arrived, he was welcoming and attentive. They were both sincere people who could enjoy spending time with.

Location, Safety, Facilities, the splendid pool and the staff!

Such a historic and beautiful villa. Stunningly furnished, designed and spotlessly clean. So spacious and loaded with character - but with excellent bathrooms and lively decor. There is a butler and cook team who checked us in & arrived early to provide breakfast then they headed away. The pool was pristine and the location superb, right in the fort so just 2 minutes to historic sites, restaurants and shops. A quick tuk tuk ride to the train station and accessible off Midfle St when we arrived by van. We were aware the Fort can be bad for mosquitos but there were very few,just needed the odd spray. This villa is superb and was one of the highlights of our trip.

Magnifique villa dans le fort de Galle, décorée avec goût. Nous logions dans la suite à l’étage, qui nous était réservé. Il y avait d’autres guests dans une chambre du bas mais cela ne nous a pas gêné du tout. La piscine est un vrai plus, et le service est parfait.

se trata de una casa colonial restaurada con mucho gusto, es un oasis dentro de Galle, una pena haber estado solo una noche

la situacion, la decoracion y ambientacion, la piscina, todo muy correcto

Super mooi 300 jaar oud paleis, met een heerlijk zwembad.
Pal in het centrum van het fort met alle comfort en rust.

The building, old colonial architecture. Nice quiet setting. Spacious, airy, elegant. Lovely decor, furniture. Pool/Garden area tranquil. Well maintained.
Lovely helpful friendly staff .

Geweldige plek middenin Galle Fort! Vriendelijk team, leuk zwembad… echt een heerlijke plek 🙏🏼 Veel privacy!

Fantastische plek, heerlijk huis met mooie binnenplaats en zwembad.
Fantastisch Srilankees ontbijt door fijn personeel.

What a lovely place. In our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka we stayed in some of the best hotels including heritance and wild coast and experienced fantastic service, but in my family’s opinion this was the best place we stayed. That is a high bar.
The villa is beautiful, sympathetically restored, tastefully decorated and ideally positioned to explore the fort. We had the whole villa for our family of 4 including two teens. When we walked in their jaws dropped and from the moment we arrived we were beautifully looked after - no one wanted to leave and their only complaint was that I hadn’t booked for longer.
We were looked after by a team of two, Erandika and Nirmal who couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. Erandika makes excellent breakfasts and if he offers you a barbecue then take it. They get the balance of service and giving you the space to relax just right, appearing at just the right moments and were always a pleasure to deal with.

Es una villa preciosa decorada con un gusto exquisito atendida por dos personas( un chef y un Asistente elegantes y amables y perfectos en su trabajo que atienden con delicadeza y simpatía .El patio con piscina es una belleza

Une vie de palais dans cette incroyable villa. Nous étions les seuls clients pendant deux jours et avons profité de la piscine et de la superbe pièce à vivre à la décoration raffinée comme si nous étions chez nous ! Merci en particulier à Nirmal et aussi Butler pour leur accueil si souriant, et la grande disponibilité, et au chef Erandaka qui nous a éblouis avec son petit-déjeuner. Une expérience exceptionnelle.

300年历史荷兰人修建的历史大宅，经过老板的精心修缮。虽然是这家老板在斯里兰卡经营的7座民宿中最小的一座，但是非常有品味。实木的大梁，开片风格地砖让人一觉梦回百年前。厨师Erandaka做的菜非常好吃，是本次我在斯里兰卡7天最好吃的一次早餐。管家小哥Nirmal阳光帅气，说话温柔，办事可靠。整体给10分。

De villa en de kamer waren fantastisch mooi. Het personeel uiterst vriendelijk! Bedden comfortabel. Alles klopte hier gewoon! Ontbijt werd voor ons romantisch bij het zwembad in de tuin geserveerd.

tout. la localisation plein centre, le charme de la maison, le confort, la petite piscine, le personnel adorable et le petit déjeuner délicieux

The best accomodation in Galle Fort, location is perfect. The service we received from the staff was unbelievable
The breakfast was made fresh to order and was simply the best authentic Sri lankan food we ate during our 2 week visit. The pool was great too.
A stunning old colonial home converted to sheer luxury!!!!

Staying at this 300-year-old heritage hotel was like stepping back in time—the colonial charm, antique furnishings, and timeless aura made every moment magical. The location couldn't be better: right next to the ancient city gate, it made exploring the historic fort effortless.

The property boasts a lush garden, perfect for morning coffee or evening reads. Every morning, the delightful sound of children's singing drifted over from the nearby school—a sweet, local touch that added so much warmth to the stay.

What truly set this place apart was the staff. The young man Erandaka Nirmal who looked after us was incredibly thoughtful, and genuinely kind, always going the extra mile with a smile.

And the breakfast—absolutely exquisite! We had the choice between Western classics and traditional Sri Lankan dishes, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was the perfect start to each day.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking history, heart, and hospitality in one unforgettable package. Can’t wait to return!
