This was our first, but not last visit to Satori. The 3 of us descended upon paradise from our respective corners of the globe and to our delights truly found it at Satori. The staff is amazingly helpful and kind, the grounds were savage, but comforting. We slept and did almost nothing for a short week. Although the world around... More

We have stayed at Satori on 3 occasions now and it gets better everytime. The location is fabulous, remote yet close enough to the wonderful beaches nearby. Sitting on the verandah having breakfast, watching the monkeys swing in the trees overhead is truly a great experience. There are also hammocks dotted around the place for those less inclined to venture... More

My Girlfriend and I had Satori Villa to ourselves for one week and it was a week of pure bliss. The tranquility of the place is unreal and its positioning could be better, you are inland with amazing views and only 10minutes by tuk tuk from the beach. The rooms are lovely and clean serviced everyday by the lovely house... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this lovely house with its beautiful grounds. We came to Galle for the test match; the weather was extremely hot and humid, so retreating from the noise and bustle of Galle to the peace, quiet and very welcome swimming pool at Sartori was just blissful. The house is well equipped and stylishly furnished. Very... More

My husband and I and four friends took Satori for a week so that we could come to Galle and watch the cricket. It proved to be a perfect choice. The location was absolutely fabulous, just 10/15 minutes from Galle Fort by tuk tuk, and up in the hills with wonderful views, peace, wildlife and birds, serenity. It is beautiful... More

Caring friendly staff, fabulous relaxing environment.... Holiday to dream about! Days spent enjoying breakfast overlooking natural bush, watching monkeys jump through the trees and squirrels explore, lazing in hammock or swimming in fabulous pool.... Staff generous with their time and talents. Galle township and beach a short tuk tuk ride.... All together a brilliant holiday and can't wait to return!

The Satori villa is nestled on a hillside about ten minutes ride away from the air taxi dock near Galle. There is a main house with a lovely pool, both with a glorious view over the surrounding lush valley. The only noise apart from the usual chirping of crickets will the the sound of the rustling leaves as the monkeys... More

This is a truly special place, but do not expect it to run like a five-star hotel. It is slightly shabby chic but all the more charming because of that. If you're a light sleeper though don't opt for the very romantic looking coach house as you will be kept awake by the myriad of sounds from outside such as... More
