FOOD & DRINK

Renting 41 Lighthouse Street includes the use of a private chef who can buy fresh food for guests and cook a mixture of asian and fusion meals. There is also a house boy who lives in and will help with breakfast. A room girl comes daily and will make the rooms as well as any clothes washing you may have.

FUN & GAMES

The villa is located inside the Galle Fort, which is like nowhere else in Sri Lanka. Enter through the 'new' English gate or the 'old' Dutch gate and enter a different country. Renovated Dutch architecture of some of the 600 odd houses crowd the narrow streets in this 90 acre Fort. Largely built by the Dutch during the 18 century the Fort is another of Sri Lanka's World Heritage sites.

The Ramparts are used for romantic strolls as well as early morning power walks as well - of course - for local 'village' cricket games. They also provide an excellent vantage point to capture the atmosphere of an international test match. It is not yet highly developed but there a number of restaurants and small shops. The Fort, and indeed Galle, remains the traditional home of jewellery design and gem shops.

The Fort has a number of small beaches that are suitable for morning swims whilst the best sunbathing beaches are between 5-7km away. Busy during the day but quiet at night Galle Fort provides an exceptional and historic base from which to experience Sri Lanka.
