From the moment that we walked into the villa we became excited at our choice of accommodation. The staff were incredibly attentive and still allowed privacy.
The longer that we stayed the more we felt at home.The beauty of this villa and it's design added to it's family and majestic feel.
Its location within the fort was perfect as well.
We will definitely be returning with family members as
this is the perfect clientele.
Kind regards,

We were looking for a little oasis to celebrate our mum's 70th birthday and it is safe to say that we indeed found it here! We wanted a place that was homely and provides us the comfort of being close to family. We were able to have a celebration with family that drove over from Colombo to the comfort of the villa.
Our experience was augmented by the exceptional service provided by Imalka
and Champa. Not a single detail was overlooked. The food was amazing. Imalka and Champa cooked for 6 of our guests and provided the best service we have come across just between the two of them. We are very grateful for all of their assistance and service.
The villa although is in the middle of the busy Fort, is very calm and serene.It provided us with the atmosphere we were looking for when we looked for a villa to stay within the confines of the Fort.
We will definitely come back and recommend this villa.
We will sure come back for the exceptional service from the staff!
Keep up the great work

Our 4 month stay at No.39 Galle Fort was a truly memorable experience. Nestled in the charming Lighthouse Street, the villa provided a secure retreat for our family, blending traditional Dutch architecture with modern comforts.Imalka and Anjali's exceptional hospitality and warmth made us feel right at home, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Our children formed beautiful
friendships and we immersed ourselves in the local culture, leaving with cherished memories that will last a lifetime!

Imalka and Anjali have been amazing, nothing has been too much trouble for them.The food was AMAZING and my daughter particularly loved the towel animals laid out on the beds everyday.
The place is so clean and tidy, even the power cuts have not been an issue

This is our first trip abroad after 2 years of Covid captivity, we could not have spent it in a more welcome place! No.39 Galle Fort stands out compared to other villas we have known including in Galle.
The physical setting is a treat and Imalka and Anjali made it a home.They were gracious, warm helpful, kind and attentive in their way to make everyone feel at home.They have an aesthetic
sensibility, paid close attention to details of the villa's ambience and made sure it was always welcoming.
The food deserves to be singled out. Imalka is a capable chef, and prepared excellent lunches including a memorable one of various Sri Lankan specialties.It was quite a treat to have Anjali's father make hoppers and curry . We would have been happy dining in the villa every day!
We look forward to a return visit.

What a little paradise in the middle of a bustling city!!! We loved our stay here. Wasn't easy with two small kids making sure that they don't damage all the precious property but with good help from Imalka and Anjali we managed it very well. We loved the garden space and the kids spotted little squirrels up on the wall and an iguana came for a visit one morning. Beautiful fresh flowers! We
were amazed how quiet is this villa, what a good sleep we had. Breakfast was nice and the guys were so attentive to our needs and favours. We would love to come back one day! Thank you.

Our stay at No. 39 was awesome, it was homely, our caretakers were very friendly. We had asked to serve us barbecue dinner upon arrival and the spread was wide and delicious. The main cook (Ajith Kumar) took care of us. His Sri Lankan curry was very authentic, He always has a smile on his face and was very accommodating. We were surely visit again.

The location is fabulous. You can walk to the bars, restaurants, beach and ramparts. The staff is obliging and un-intrusive. The place is tastefully put together to offer the visitor modern comforts with a touch of Sri Lankan charm.

Wonderful villa in Lighthouse street - beautifully appointed for relaxation with friends or family. Totally wonderful location to explore Galle's restaurants and shops and opposite the best lounge bar in town.
Loved it and will definitely go there again!

'39 Galle Fort' is a fantastic place to stay. It has a central location in the Fort, all is in walkable distance. The villa is very well designed, with the old colonial features well preserved in a modern facility. Great place to relax after a daytrip to the countryside or beaches, great place to doze a day away while staying in the Fort. Good for kids. The service of the house staff was truly
excellent, with good local dishes cooked from scratch (recommended the fresh tuna curry)and a very friendly attitude towards their guests. All was attended to in great care and detail.
I fully recommend to stay in 39 Galle Fort - great family place! We will surely be back. Dr Thom KLEISS and family, Singapore

Villa 39 is a beautiful oasis in the Galle Fort. It is spacious, comfortable and very tasteful. The location could not be better as it is in close proximity to any place you might want to visit at the Galle Fort. There are so many spaces to relax and unwind within the villa and the rooms are well appointed with well designed bathrooms. The staff are attentive and accommodating...what more
might one want from a holiday villa.
