We were guests at Villa Ema for a week and it was difficult to leave. The villa is beautiful and gives you the feeling of being on holiday but at the same time a bit of home. We don't need to talk about the cleanliness - everything 10/10 and the service too. Every morning there is an insanely great authentic breakfast prepared by the grandmother. The family that manages this accommodation is just great, lovely and they turn every wish into reality. I even got a birthday present at the end. It was a wonderful holiday that I won't forget, we are very grateful for this hospitality and will definitely be back!

The room was very clean and comfortable so we felt it like home from the first time. Hosts were very friendly and kind and they did their best for us, especially their daughter who speaks very good English and she helped us even with the informations we needed about our transportation. We have to mention also that they made for us a special breakfast from Sri Lanka that we wanted to try. We highly recommend this hotel for vacations!

The family was really frendly. The owner took the time to drive is to the town to bye some srilankan spises and gifts. She made us srilankan tea and really tasty meals.

We would come again and they have our recommendation.

Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.

Indiko and Shadow (the dog) are great hosts. Indiko takes good care of you and likes to tell you more about his live and living at the beach near Galle. Galle is 10 minutes by tuktuk. The food in the homestay is great.
