41 Lighthouse Street

We stayed at 41 Lighthouse Street for 9 nights in July and it was a perfect home-away-from -home for us. It is managed by the Fort Baazar Hotel which really elevates the villa stay as you have the benefits of lots of privacy whilst still being able to use the hotels facilities. In particular we had excellent massages, meals and excursions/experiences organised by the hotel which really added to the stay. The villa itself is perfect for a family. It has a great pool, 3 lovely rooms, ample living space and a pool table which was particularly appreciated by my son. It's very tastefully decorated too! Our host Ruwan was super attentive - nothing was too much trouble! He helped us organise meals in the villa, daily activities and was always available and anticipated our needs. He couldn't have been a better host! We would totally recommend a stay at the villa be it a long or a short one.

We loved everything about our stay at 41 Lighthouse. The villa is beautifully decorated, we enjoyed having the place to ourselves and using the pool as a family. Ruwan was an amazing host who was on hand whenever we needed. We had two lovely breakfasts and ate at Church Street Social (owned by Teardrop) The food and service were fabulous. If we visit Sri Lanka again we would definitely stay at the villa!

This was a luxurious experience- a 3 bedroom villa with pool just to ourselves ! It is deceptive from the outside with a modest front which masks the large sitting and dining areas complete with pool table behind the front door. You then go through to a courtyard containing a good sized swimming pool with plenty of areas to sit and relax. Then main bedroom is upstairs. It is big with a nice sized bathroom. we were very well looked after by Ruwan - he worked full time in the villa and could organise food to be brought in from the adjoining hotel. We had breakfast in the villa and eat out for other meals. It is central to the Fort with immediate access to attractions and restaurants. But the villa is so comfortable that we often retreated there just to enjoy it ! We stayed a couple of nights and this worked well for us.

Fabulous retreat from the busy streets of Galle. Concealed behind a rather unprepossessing exterior is an exquisitely refurbished villa with 3 gorgeous bedroom s and substantial communal space. The courtyard has a welcome swimming pool but best of all for our visit was Ruan, the staff member who looked after us so well. Lovely man. Lovely property. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
