Like a dream.
Pros:

We have traveled a lot around the world, but this place was like a fairytale. If you like nature (birds, squirrels, monkeys), a clean room (with bath), and most important: the feeling like your home, you should go to this place. There are a few rooms, so it feels like you have a whole villa for yourself and the staff is always ready to help you!

Cons:

Everything was perfect!

The perfect stay surrounded by nature
Pros:

The beautiful villa offers the possibility to fully blend in the nature, surrounded by animals’ sound and green landscape. We loved the calm and peace just 15 min outside the center of Galle. The staff and the owner are absolutely amazing people and prepared us a delicious breakfast every morning. We would definitely come back.

Et sted vi gerne kommer igen
Pros:

Super venligt personale og vært, morgenmaden var helt enestående

Cons:

Da der kun er myggenet for vinduerne og ikke glas, så er der en del larm fra hunde og andre dyr om natten

Hotel eco pijo sin paredes y maravilloso desayuno
Pros:

El desayuno fue excepcional, cada día variado, en cantidad y convivial. Bonita arquitectura. Muy buen gusto decorativo. La lavandería funciona bien.

Cons:

En la habitación no habían 3 paredes ni ventanas solo mosqueteras por lo que no había intimidad, ni de ruidos, ni de temperatura ni de bichos, ni de luz. Las mosqueteras tienen cierto tiempo y están con agujeros. Pedí cancelar segunda noche porque cogí un resfriado y no me dieron opción. Por otro lado no hicieron el cuarto entre un día y otra noche de hospedaje. Acaso complicado hasta la casa. El cuarto con bañera no tiene ducha por lo que es incómodo lavarse a diario.

gemütlich, als wäre man zu Hause angekommen
Pros:

Wir wurden schon zu Hause sehr warmherzig von Anitha betreut, betreffend Transfer und persönlichen Wünschen.
Amma Erne ist ein wundervoller Ort. So herzlich, als wäre man zu Hause. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich.
Das Essen war ein Gedicht. So gut, dass wir gleich einen Kochkurs buchten. Alles ist wunderbar hergerichtet.
Ich komme das nächste Mal ganz bestimmt wieder hierher.
Danke für alles.

Perfect nest
Pros:

Everything was just perfect! The location is not too far from the center of Galle (15 min with the tuk tuk) which is ideal if you want to have some peace and quiet. The staff on site and the owner of the Villa are just great and super caring of your need, they love to talk to you and support if you need anything during your stay and overall trip. They planned for us the safari at UdaWalawe and it was great!
Anita, the villa manager, is also amazing with Ayurvedic massages !
They cook for you for breakfast lunch and dinner if wanted and the food is very good.

The stay really felt being at home and very cozy, very intimate. There are only 4 rooms which make it special.

Cons:

Of course being in the nature there are a lot of noises and animals that wake you up in the morning like birds, monkey and peacocks, but it’s also part of the experience.

If I could change something, I would only make the breakfast more continental with less traditional and local food, because a lot of people are not used to eat that straight in the morning.

I wouldn’t change anything else!
