“Awesome location, friendly staff and great potential”

Reviewed 20 March 2013

We stayed one night at the villa. At the time of our stay there were some renovations taking place which meant that the two larger rooms upstairs were not available. However, we stayed at one of the rooms downstairs which had all the facilities we required, apart from adequate natural light. The staff lead by Udara was brilliant and went... More

“A bit of a let down”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

The villa is in the walled part of Galle Fort and could be a lovely property. Unfortunately it is definitely a work in progress and progress seems to have stopped. The room we had on the ground floor was uncared for (the wash hand basin was, blocked, two lights didn't work, one light wouldn't turn off) that kind of thing.... More

“Nice building & large rooms, but could be much better”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

Housed in a lovely villa accented with deep, dark woods, the Galle Heritage Villa has a relaxing feel. The villa has only four rooms, which makes for a quiet atmosphere. First we had one of the two rooms on the ground floor - these are not ideal: small and lacking natural light. Then we were moved to one of the... More

We arrived at the Heritage Villa mid afternoon. It was very hot and we had been travelling for several hours. Our rooms were not ready.

“Great location”

A great place to stay especially due to its upscale appearance. The place has only four rooms so expect a personalized stay where crowds do not show up. A very clean environment and cleanliness throughout the place. A good bathroom well equipped and having a good steady water flow in the shower. Another plus is that it is situated in... More

This is a small facility (4 guest rooms) in an old house within the walls of Galle Fort. The historic location is great (just a few minutes stroll to the seaside ramparts) and the recent renovation has been very nicely done. But our experience was haphazard. We arrived after a long flight to Colombo and an even longer drive to... More
