Take a look inside 20 Middle Street

An 18th-century Dutch villa restored to its former glory with modern additions, 20 Middle Street is ensconced within the Galle Fort overlooking the gabled-roof of the Dutch Reform Church and the iconic red-tiled fort roof. The four-bedroom villa has been designed by renowned architect Channa Daswatte and it incorporates elements of tropical modernity combined with an old-world charm.

Individual buildings house the bedrooms, an annexe with a lounge, or loggia, downstairs that unfurls into the garden and pool area, and a garden cottage with a relaxed vibe. 20 Middle Street is the perfect home for a family vacation with your loved ones.

We all had a fantastic stay at No. 20 Middle Street. The place is spectacular, but not only the place impressed us, the staff also were so service minded and attentive…. This trip will stay in our minds forever.

What a wonderful stay. Beautiful house, a wonderful restoration, incredibly comfortable and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Especial thanks to our chef who rose to the challenge making a chicken Kiev, when he had no previous experience. Final thank you to Jayanath for all his help too.
