Villa Gaetano Unawatuna, hotel in Unawatuna

Located along Atharagoda Road, Villa Gaetano is a 15-minute drive from Unawatuna Beach and Galle Fort. It houses a large outdoor lap pool and complimentary Wi-Fi access.

Fantastic breakfast, such helpful hosts and the grounds are stunning. Having monkeys, monitor lizards, squirrels and the sound of birds all around you was incredible. We so valued staying slightly further inland as it meant you could go and retreat after the beach in a busy little town.

    An authentic homestay ran by a family and a prime example of Sri Lankan hospitality. We loved our time, so much so that we extended our stay by 2 days! Breakfast is delicious, a mix of Sri Lankan dishes and continental options, with fresh fruit, coffee or tea and more food than you will be able to finish. The owner will do everything he can to make you feel at home, there is a (paid) tuktuk service and the place is spotless. Highly recommend if you want to experience a wonderful family!

Tap Water to avoid plastic bottles. AC and Pool what more would you need. Also the owner and staff were friendly and honest. We paid too much without notice but He came back to us with the money. We might not have realized that we paid too much.

    The room was big and comfortable, good aircon and shower. The location is close to both the main streets for restaurants and the beach. The family running the homestay were very friendly and helpful, and have a lovely, friendly dog. Breakfast was filling. There was free parking across the street. There are monkeys that come to the street a few times a day to get snacks from the locals. The relationship they had with the animals was really cool! The family have a small grocery store and travel agent downstairs too which is very convenient.
