Villa 32 Middle Street

10/10

If you are looking for a fantastic getaway with a touch of luxury then 32 Middle St will far exceed your expectations. Set in the heart of the historic forte compound "32 Middle St" is by far an authentic experience. The villa itself is open and spacious blending a modern interior without losing the traditional colonial feel that one would expect to see in the historic galle fort complex. Perfect for a group getaway or just a quiet weekend with someone special. Jayanth and the team make it really hard for you to leave the compound with their fantastic cooking and superb service. If you decide to wander around, the location of the villa is so central to the main streets inside the fort complex. A must for anyone staying in Galle

We've been back at work now for about five weeks and all I can think about is the beautiful house at 32 Middle Street, Galle. The rustic front verandah with its wooden benches and palm trees, the pristine pool surrounded by tropical plants and trees. The spacious lounge and dining room, complete with leather chairs, mood lighting and shuttered doors. Bedrooms with gorgeous heavy wooden furniture, four poster beds and mosquito nets, air-conditioning for the hot nights and airy brushed concrete bathrooms. I could go on! Thanks so much to Kusal, our host, who made our stay so enjoyable. Kusal has been a chef for 15 years and cooked us a Sri Lankan feast on our final night. We even got a detailed cooking class as part of the package. Located right in the middle of the fort, 32 Middle Street is paradise. A quiet refuge in the busy heat of the colonial fort town. Right now, I'm planning my return to 32 Middle Street. We won't be the only ones. Many of the previous visitors have returned again and again. We will be back. Soon.

We have stayed in villas all over the world, but 32 Middle street and its surrounds was our best vacation ever. The house is uncompromising in its stylish decor, comfort and quality. The staff discreet and professional. It was tempting to lounge in the pool and courtyards all day, enjoying delicious meals and napping on the massive outdoor daybed, but our forays to the beaches, ambles through the fort and sundowners on the ramparts all combined to create a stay that was perfect in every way.

Agree 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.

Lush garden, infinity pool, great food, fabulous art on the walls with all the modern comfort in a fabulous historical house... we stayed there for a week in February and were sad to leave. We can only highly recommended the villa to those seeking the hard-to-get peaceful harmony of vacation in style.
