A lovely place full of character, wonderful people, good food and a fantastic swimming pool.

Perhaps the towels and sheets need updating soon.

Overall, a lovely, relaxing place to stay with excellent staff and facilities.

We had a fantastic stay at Thalpe Walawwa Heritage Villa and would highly recommend it. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the pool is superb – very peaceful and well maintained. The villa itself is a stunning historic building and our room was spacious and full of character. It really felt like staying in a special place rather than a standard hotel. Galle can be reached easily by tuk tuk. The beach is a 15 minute walk away, where you can find a number of restaurants. There is no restaurant on site but the staff can cook for you if given notice. The breakfasts are amazing. Overall, a lovely, relaxing place to stay with excellent staff and facilities.

A real hidden gem, I would definitely stay again.

10.0

We had an amazing stay at the Villa, the grounds are beautiful set in the jungle with a lovely pool and perfect accommodation. The area is peaceful and secluded but town is only a 10 minute tuk tuk drive away. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the Sri Lankan breakfasts were exceptional. I thoroughly recommend this villa.

Nothing really! It was perfect.

Beautiful surroundings. Historic house in need of some updating.

7.0

Lovely grounds. Beautiful pool. Kind helpful staff

Room a bit dingy. Mosquitoes. Does not have a private beach. About 3km to beach. Easy to get to sea in a Tuk Tuk

Een verborgen paradijs op loopafstand (20 min) van het strand.

10.0

Een fantastisch landgoed, met een prachtig mooi onderhouden tuin en een heerlijk zwembad. De gastheer Solange maakt dat je je een heuse V.I.P voelt. Heerlijk Sri Lankees ontbijt en hij regelde een vaste tuktuk voor ons die ons overal naartoe bracht waar we maar heen wilden. De villa brengt je terug naar de koloniale tijden van toen met parketvloeren en veel teakhout. Eén groot bad van rust en genieten.

Alles beviel uitstekend, de kamer mooi en ruim , met kluisje, maar het zou wel fijn zijn als er meer stopcontacten op de kamer waren. We moesten nu de lamp eruit halen en dat was dan ook het enige stopcontact.

The entire property is gorgeous and full of wonderful creatures. It is a fantastic retreat away from busy Columbo. Suranga is exceptional in graciously taking care of guests and making this place the gem that it is. Wish I could stay longer!
