Very beautifully furnished old villa with spacious rooms. It was also great to be able to use the infrastructure of the Hotel Fort Bazaar. This accommodation is also very stylishly furnished and the staff is extremely courteous and helpful.

Beautiful villa, incredible and colourful interior design, and a warm atmosphere. It was beautiful, picturesque, and as offered a tailored experience. I was the only one that booked at the time and had the villa to myself. I loved that I could access the facilities of the Fort Bazar Hotel, including the choice to have breakfast there, use the pool, and enjoy the morning guided tour. The tour was excellent and the tour guide is a valuable intellectual (historian & archaeologist) whose work and advocacy contributes tremendously in protecting Galle’s history. Lastly, the staff, especially Prasad was incredibly and made the stay worth it. Thank you!

We had a great stay at the Lighthouse Villa. The villa is welcoming, right in the heart of the fort. The room is spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. We were warmly welcomed with the standards of large hotels (room cleaned several times a day for example). Additionally, the room is connected to the Fort Bazaar Hotel (beautiful!) and we were able to enjoy an absolutely fascinating morning city tour, the hotel's delicious breakfast and the very, very pleasant swimming pool. Lots of little extras that make all the difference. We highly recommend.
