  This is our first trip to Sri Lanka and the first step on our 3 week tour and we are very sad to leave.We have had such a fabulous stay. Imalka and Anjali have been amazing, nothing has been too much trouble for them.The food was AMAZING and my daughter particularly loved the towel animals laid out on the beds everyday. The place is so clean and tidy, even the power cuts have not been an issue thanks to Imalka and Anjali's care. We will definitely recommend No.39 to our friends and cannot wait to return . Thank you so much for such a fantastic time. Demelza,Dan,Stepper and Arife. Cornwall, England

  Dear Imalka & Anjali and No.39 Galle Fort, Thank you for the most wonderful hospitality you have shown us here at No.39 during the past 5 weeks. Amazing service, delicious food, early mornings with not a complaint and spotless cleaning during the ENTIRE STAY. We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. We wish you lots of love and luck in the years ahead and we hope to return to see you next year. Sri Lanka is a special and very beautiful place and will always hold a small but unique place in our hearts. Thank you. Iain, Vicki,Stewart,Shauna and Alistair

  This is our first trip abroad after 2 years of Covid captivity, we could not have spent it in a more welcome place! No.39 Galle Fort stands out compared to other villas we have known including in Galle. The physical setting is a treat and Imalka and Anjali made it a home.They were gracious, warm helpful, kind and attentive in their way to make everyone feel at home.They have an aesthetic sensibility, paid close attention to details of the villa's ambience and made sure it was always welcoming. The food deserves to be singled out. Imalka is a capable chef, and prepared excellent lunches including a memorable one of various Sri Lankan specialties.It was quite a treat to have Anjali's father make hoppers and curry . We would have been happy dining in the villa every day! We look forward to a return visit. H&S and parents!!

  What a little paradise in the middle of a bustling city!!! We loved our stay here. Wasn't easy with two small kids making sure that they don't damage all the precious property but with good help from Imalka and Anjali we managed it very well. We loved the garden space and the kids spotted little squirrels up on the wall and an iguana came for a visit one morning. Beautiful fresh flowers! We were amazed how quiet is this villa, what a good sleep we had. Breakfast was nice and the guys were so attentive to our needs and favours. We would love to come back one day! Thank you.

  We had a truly wonderful stay at No. 39 Lighthouse Street, Galle Fort and we are sad to leave. Nuwan and Vasantha were incredibly hospitable and kind and took very good care of us. The home was beautiful and very clean. It was also a fantastic location. Thank you for accommodating us, we home to be back again soon.

  Ashwin K, United States

• December 10th, 2017 - December 14th, 2017

  It was a great pleasure to stay in such a well preserved heritage home right in the center of Galle Fort. The beds were very comfortable and the decor and furniture matched perfectly. The home was spotlessly clean. Wasantha, the housekeeper, did a wonderful job. Our chef, Nuwan, cooked superb meals and presented them superbly. Both the staff cheerfully attended to our needs. The manager Mark was in contact to make sure all was going well. I would recommend No. 39 to anyone who is looking for luxurious accommodation in a fascinating world heritage renown site.

  Chris W, Australia

• October 2nd, 2017 - October 4th, 2017

  We had some difficulty locating the place but when Nuwan opened the door it was awe to find such a beautiful place complete with small garden and high ceilings. The decor takes us back to the colonial era - it is really a pleasure for the two days we stayed here. The service is also worth mentioning - the staff looked after us in every possible way. The ambience and hospitality - both were great. Many thanks.

  Rituraj K, India

• September 23rd, 2017 - September 30th, 2017

  No.39 Galle Fort is a beautiful villa to relax in and enjoy. The Fort itself is beautifully maintained and the restorations of the old buildings have been done so well. We enjoyed our stay and thank Nuwan for looking after us and preparing our meals. Thank you.

• September 15th, 2017 - September 18th, 2017

  You have made our stay in No.39 Galle Fort an absolute dream! The location and the villa itself is right out of a James Bond novel! It is ravishing and decadent. We will recommend No.39 to all our friends and family who are considering an amazing holiday with lots of hospitality and culture. The food prepared by Dilshan was simply impeccable and he needs to be utilised to his full culinary skill! Nuwan has done a great job keeping the accommodation tidy and running smoothly. We hope to be back soon!

  Ji Ung K, Hong Kong

• September 1st, 2017 - September 4th, 2017

  Unfortunately we have to leave today from a far too short stay at No.39. It has been fabulous - Galle is beautiful. But the best thing has been No.39. Spacious,relaxing, so lovely and the team looked after us so well. The food was spectacular - starting with curry for lunch on arrival. We had the crab (twice), hoppers for breakfast and the parrot fish last night. I am going to recommend No.39 to everyone and I'm hoping I can come back and enjoy it all again.

  Octavia B, Australia

• August 2nd, 2017 - August 5th, 2017

  Deborah H, Australia

  We stayed for 3 nights, and what an amazing place this is, so peaceful and quiet.We ate in two nights and the food that Ajith prepared was just fantastic.

Mark and the team attended to our every need and there was nothing left wanting. I would truly recommend staying at No.39 vs. any hotel chain in the Galle Fort area. Absolutely wonderful overall. And don't worry about eating out, both the BBQ's and the Sri Lankan cooking in the villa were outstanding. Truly exceptional.

  '39 Galle Fort' is a fantastic place to stay. It has a central location in the Fort, all is in walkable distance. The villa is very well designed, with the old colonial features well preserved in a modern facility. Great place to relax after a daytrip to the countryside or beaches, great place to doze a day away while staying in the Fort. Good for kids. The service of the house staff was truly excellent, with good local dishes cooked from scratch (recommended the fresh tuna curry)and a very friendly attitude towards their guests. All was attended to in great care and detail. I fully recommend to stay in 39 Galle Fort - great family place! We will surely be back. Dr Thom KLEISS and family, Singapore

  Thom Kleiss, Singapore

• October 7th, 2014 - October 8th, 2014

  Villa 39 is a beautiful oasis in the Galle Fort. It is spacious, comfortable and very tasteful. The location could not be better as it is in close proximity to any place you might want to visit at the Galle Fort. There are so many spaces to relax and unwind within the villa and the rooms are well appointed with well designed bathrooms. The staff are attentive and accommodating...what more might one want from a holiday villa.
