Location
A beautifully renovated early 19th century villa, 25 Rampart Street sits in the heart of Galle Fort overlooking the Ramparts and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean beyond. The villa is centrally located to explore the Fort, the surrounding beaches, and the vibrant southern heritage. There are several cafés, boutique shops and restaurants located nearby. The journey from Colombo’s International Airport will take approximately 4 hours - or take the Air Taxi and fly to Koggala, which is a 15-minute drive to Galle Fort.
Introduction
This is an exquisite three bedroom two-storey villa that blends old world charm with modern living to provide a wonderful holiday experience in the heart of Galle’s 17th century Dutch Fort – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Colonial architectural features of high ceilings, arches and columns, timber floors and an old wooden staircase have been maintained and enhanced with elegant interiors that are light and airy. Antique Dutch period furniture is blended with comfortable sofas and soft furnishings in soothing neutral colours. Gaze out into the horizon through the living room windows upstairs, relax by the poolside amidst mango and frangipani trees, or wonder off along Fort’s maze of narrow by roads and discover a fascinating bygone era.
