Found inside the walls of the historical Galle Fort in Sri Lanka’s Southwest coast, Villa N79 or 79 Leyn Baan is a beautiful rustic property in the middle of a historical site. The stunning beach view from the terrace where you can spot the endless ocean with its sparkling water and the horizon, is another great advantage at staying at this homey retreat. The three-bedroom holiday home is done up in pastel paint weathered to make it look old-style and artistic. The green and yellow colour palette compliments the outdoors splendidly well as the natural abundance of the gardens and the blue of the ocean comes through with the colours.
The three bedrooms at Villa N79 feature a varied colour scheme from green to blue to pastel yellow for a vibrant, tropical vibe. The master bedroom is furnished with a king-sized bed, the second with a queen-sized bed, and the third bedroom is furnished with a bunk bed. All bedrooms are comfortable, homely, and offer all necessary amenities to guests.
The bedrooms are decorated with artefacts and items that have been collected from several places to make for a well-travelled home. The last bedroom has a large desk, ideal for writing, reading, or working. There are en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom as well, fitted with either bathtubs or showers.
The excellent location of the villa puts you close the beach, so you have easy access whenever you wish to lounge beside the ocean and sunbathe. The villa itself has several seating lounges where guests can relax with a cup of tea or some drinks as they enjoy unobstructed ocean views from where they sit. There is one found on the terrace upstairs with an alfresco dining area to enjoy meals out in the open air, and another in the open-air corridor. There is a beautiful lotus pond in the centre of the villa where you can simply sit and relax and breathe in the fresh air!
