Media Reviews
"The Fort House, originally built in the 1800s, was recently restored to provide a sun terrace with excellent view of the sea, the old fort, and the Dutch Reformed Church; a courtyard pool, perfect for a cooling dip after a hectic day’s sightseeing; an open-plan lounge and dining area, and four en site bedrooms and a modern kitchen, where the wonderful staff can conjure up almost any gastronomic delight you may require.’"

Location
Fort House is located in the heart of Galle’s historic 17th century Dutch Fort. The journey from Colombo’s International Airport averages four-and-quarter hours ours - or take the Air Taxi and fly to Koggala, which is a 20-minutes drive to Galle Fort.
Introduction
Built in the early 1800s this family home, originally occupied by a merchant and his wife, has recently undergone a complete transformation courtesy of its Hong Kong-based owners. Many of the original features have been restored and, when combined with an eclectic mix of modern and traditional features, the overall feel is of a comfortable family retreat. A cool green-sided pool in the courtyard provides the focal point to this stylish house whilst the west facing roof terrace offers a magnificent view over the Dutch ramparts.

Accommodation
The villa has three doubles and one twin all with a/c and overhead fans. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shower. The double with twin beds share a bathroom with shower that separates the beds. The other double can access this bathroom as well or use the additional guest bathroom located on the ground floor.
Facilities
A study/reading area is located in the entrance hall. Large and comfortable sofas are located in the main living area that opens onto the dining area. In addition to around the courtyard pool there are deep chairs on the roof terraces and on that rare 'rainy afternoon' there is the Satellite TV/ DVD room with huge beanbags. Whilst breakfast can be taken on the roof terrace a fabulous locally made teak table can be set for up to 12 for more formal dining. Surrounded by plants, the small cool pool provides a perfect place to float around during the day or upon returning from a day of sun on the beach. The staff includes a live-in houseboy and a room girl who comes daily to clean and wash clothes. The houseboy is a keen learner who will prepare breakfast but otherwise you have to take the lead in the modern and fully equipped kitchen. Subject to availability and an extra charge a cook can be provided.
Excursions
Galle Fort is like nowhere else in Sri Lanka. Enter through the 'new' English gate or the 'old' Dutch gate and enter a different country. The renovated Dutch architecture of shops, hotels and private houses is a dominant feature the narrow streets. Largely built by the Dutch during the 18th Century the Fort is another of Sri Lanka's World Heritage sites. The Ramparts provide an excellent vantage point to capture the atmosphere of an international test match. Sunbathing beaches of the Galle coast are a short tuk-tuk drive away.
