We were guests at Villa Ema for a week and it was difficult to leave. The villa is beautiful and gives you the feeling of being on holiday but at the same time a bit of home. We don't need to talk about the cleanliness - everything 10/10 and the service too. Every morning there is an insanely great authentic breakfast prepared by the grandmother. The family that manages this accommodation is just great, lovely and they turn every wish into reality. I even got a birthday present at the end. It was a wonderful holiday that I won't forget, we are very grateful for this hospitality and will definitely be back!

Wonderfull time spent in Chathu's home. We had a beautiful, quiet room with a very comfortable big bed and stylish wooden furniture, spacious en suite bathroom . Everything bright and clean. We enjoyed stunning view from the balcony , while sipping the afternoon tea . The owner was cooking for us traditional local food and we liked every meal. The house is located literally on the beach. The beach was thoroughly cleaned every morning!

Indika’s beach villa felt like a home away from home. Our room was great, directly overlooking the sea which was wonderful to wake up to. The food was delicious and authentic, and Indika was an amazing host who made us feel like family. We’ve made friends for life! Highly recommend this beautiful beach side paradise!

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.
