Set within the walls of the historical Galle Fort in the city of Galle, Villa 32 Middle Streets is a one of its kind holiday home that not only allows you to experience living inside walls that date back to 400 years but also provides modern amenities to make you comfortable. The three-bedroom villa is ideally situated close to Galle’s many sights including eateries, cafes, and Unawatuna beach. The villa reflects a colonial past so intrinsic to Sri Lankan history and you will find local elements such as teak wood and local artwork that dominate the spaces.
There are three, well-appointed bedrooms at Villa 32 Middle Street with two suites that have two floors each and the third room which is the master bedroom. The bedrooms are air-conditioned and are furnished with personal seating areas.
The first suite has the sitting area on the main level while the loft is furnished with a double bed and the second suite is similarly designed but with single beds in the loft. The master bedroom has its own alfresco sundeck with lounge to enjoy the panoramic views. All three bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms fitted with necessary amenities.
The courtyard is where all the action is owing to the free-size swimming pool resting under open skies. Surrounded by the sheer glory of the villa, the pool will become your new favourite haunt where you can spend hours idling away in bliss. There are rattan sun chairs, outdoor sets, lounge sofas on the veranda, as well as an alfresco dining area so you can make the most of the outdoors.
The stunning living area at Villa 32 Middle Street is a feast for the eyes what with wooden trusses marking the ceiling, whitewashed walls adorned with selective artwork, white couches that sit facing a projector screen, and hints of canary yellow splashed across the room. Thanks to the louvered double doors, the room remains well-lit and ventilated for a refreshing and calm atmosphere. Ceiling fans keep the living room breezy and as you relax with loved ones. The colonial-inspired architecture lends a charming quality to the villa which is luxurious and aristocratic.
Under the high-soaring ceiling just beside the seating also stands the dining area of the villa. When you’re in the mood for a more formal setup, enjoy your dinner at the six-seater dining table with comfortable chairs. The kitchen is another excellently-designed space with French doors that lead to the courtyard. An antique crockery unit stands against the wall and a cemented cupboard also holds a variety of ceramics. The fully-equipped kitchen is all you need to cook your meals and you can always request for a personal chef.
The villa is fully-staffed complete with a villa chef who is all too happy to take requests for meals. There is housekeeping and maintenance all taken care of so you can enjoy yourself without a worry.
Located in the centre of things, you have everything right at your doorstep from the historical sites in town to up and coming boutiques and shops. Visit the National Museum of Galle for a lesson in history or walk along Lighthouse Street for an amazing introduction to 17th-century Dutch architecture.
10/10Thanks for the lovely stay, your hospitality and excellent meals. See you again soon.
10/10Our family of 3 generations aged from 22 months to 79 years had 2 lovely nights at 32 Middle Street and enjoyed it very much especially the pool and the wonderful food. The staff were very friendly and were amused by the two little boys whom they made a fuss of and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.
10/10Awesome Galle Fort style home with well restored original interiors and antiques. The living area is quite open plan and opens out to a superb pool, which they told me was very rare in the Galle Fort, only a few properties have. Location was great for checking out the fort and also very close by tuk to get the surrounding beach towns like Unawatuna and Ahangama. Service was top, food was great, highly recommend!
10/10The end to a wonderful 4 days at this villa. The stay was truly magical with amazing food, top class service by Nirmal and Chef Eranga. The house is so well furnished and the interior decor is stop on and has kept the true history of its Dutch architecture. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to others.
10/10Agree with the last reviewer. A lovely oasis in the middle of Galle Fort. Classy and beautifully decorated. Stunning courtyard and friendly and helpful staff. Don't be fooled by the unloved look of the building outside when you approach, as soon as you get inside everything is perfect. If you are afraid of heights you won't like two of the bedrooms though as you need to climb a narrow set of spiral stairs to get into bed.
