Belle étape pour une nuit dans un endroit charmant très bien situé dans le Fort
Pros:

Belle maison bien décorée, bel espace, chambres grandes et confortables.
Très bien situé dans le Fort, à proximité des centre d'intérêts.
Nous avions réservé 2 chambres, une chambre dans le bâtiment principal (composé de 2 chambres, mais une était déjà occupée), l'idéal est de louer les 2 chambres dans ce bâtiment car on peut utiliser l'ensemble des parties communes, qui est un bel espace.
Notre deuxième chambre était dans le bâtiment juste à côté (mais cela n'était pas un problème d'être séparé), qui est un très bel espace sur 2 niveaux, on a une maison entière pour soi, avec une douche à ciel ouvert et un coin cuisine.

Cons:

Il n'y a pas d'indication pour trouver l'entrée de la maison à l'arrivée, et il faut appeler le numéro pour qu'une personne vienne vous ouvrir, il n'y a pas de personnel sur place.
Il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner sur place, mais possibilité d'accéder à une belle cuisine pour se préparer des repas, ou aller dans les restaurants à proximité dans la rue.

Amazing stay
Pros:

This place is a little haven in the middle of the fort. The streets of the fort itself can get busy (because it's beautiful so lots of foreign and local tourists go there) but stepping into this place any noise is just shut out. The reception area is so airy and cool after the heat outside and the rooms are incredible - I have also never seen a bed so big! Really helpful staff and thoughtful set up. We felt really welcome.

Cómoda Residenza coloniale al centro del Forte
Pros:

La struttura é una casa coloniale storica del tutto ristrutturata e ben arredata. La nostra camera era spaziosa e molto confortevole.
Consigliata per la sua ottima posizione all’interno del forte e per la sua vicinanza ai tanti localini dove cenare.

Cons:

La struttura non offre la colazione e non c’è nemmeno possibilità di farla in struttura pagando. Tuttavia, appena fuori dalla residenza ci sono dei fantastici café.

Exceptional
Pros:

The old Dutch architecture was a real highlight. Everything was thought about to make for a very comfortable stay and the location was perfect. Right in the hustle and bustle but still quite at night. The staff were super accommodating of our late flight, allowing us to use the facilities well after normal check out time. I highly recommend.

Superb
Pros:

Beautiful, characterful and tastefully decorated. Lovely art-filled spaces at ground floor level with well-appointed rooms above. Nabil could not have been more helpful, assisting us whenever needed. Our room was spacious and very comfortable.
The house is in a perfect location, at the heart of the Fort, ideally situated to explore the many shops and restaurants within Galle Fort. A lovely stay.

Very good
Pros:

It's 2 rooms in a sprawling house with kitchen downstairs. Good for a group of 4 where you have whole property to yourself. Location inside the fort is nice - though no sea view. Nice and clean.

Cons:

Staff stays periodically and never at night - so you are on your own in a old but nicely decorated heritage like property. Had to get telephone number of staff from restaurant nearby to open the door on arrival.

Pleasant
Pros:

The bedroom was comfortable-lovely bed linen .and towels
Clean bathroom and hot shower
The house was filled with great art work and traditional features .

Cons:

It was noisy throughout the day/evening with crows.
Bird noises woke us up very early
Although there was tea/coffee making facilities there were 2parts to the kitchen.To access the bins the other kitchen area was filthy -lizard in cupboard /ants nests dead spider etc There was an unusuable cooker etc which should have been removed.
We left out a wrapped cake which we found half eaten on the floor.As there was open air access to the kitchen whilst it might be novel to have birds /monkeys/ chipmunks around it’s not very hygienic.
However what upset us most was that the owner had come in and filled the bottom freezer with unwrapped chicken which made the whole fridge and what we had inside smell badly .
It is not clear on the website what this really is
A 2 bedroomed house which if both bedrooms were occupied offered little privacy in the communal area.
The owner was rather aggressive and dismissive when I said I didn’t think it was acceptable to have loose chicken in the freezer whilst we were still there .
Compared to the many other places we have stayed at it was disappointing and overpriced.

We have lovely memories of Galle and staying in this villa, feel very lucky to have found it
Pros:

We loved this property, it’s spacious and quiet, in the middle of Galle Fort and close to everything including plenty of cafes and restaurants. The furnishings and architecture design are very impressive. We were woken every morning by peacocks and birds. We never actually saw anyone over the 2 nights, we were given keys and left to ourselves! Thank you

Private respite in the heart of Galle
Pros:

A peaceful, private, spacious & very tastefully decorated respite from the streets of Galle. We loved staying here - excellent location- you step out and you’re in the fort town and close to everything, but inside you’re enjoying beautifully decorated lounging space and a really nice room which was spacious, air-conditioned & immaculately clean and tidy. Great stay!
