From the very first moment we entered Taru Villas I knew it was going to be a special stay. The staff were so welcoming and helpful and the whole villa felt like a home and the decor and artwork were fantastic and on point. The location was great with easy access to all the shops and restaurants but away enough to create a calm oasis on the inside.

Galle Fort
This Dutch colonial fort is Galle’s most popular attraction, and for good reason – a stroll along this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases streets brimming with old-time charm and stunning sea views. It takes an hour or two to walk along the fort, with plenty of opportunities to stop at cafés, museums and shops along the way.

Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place.
Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place. There's aways something pleasantly surprising around the corner. Be it an influencer trying to get a good shot without the crowds or families walking the ramparts.

The property is located in a quieter part of Galle. You can choose to walk 30 minutes to the Galle fort area or grab a tuktuk. We did both and didn’t mind the walk!
The owner is very friendly and his wife brought out a welcome drink and let us decompress. Our room and bathroom were clean and the AC works very well. We were able to eat at the restaurant at the hotel and were very happy with our food! This is a great place to book at
It felt like the entire team went out of their way to make our stay special. Everything about the hotel was outstanding, from the spotless rooms, to their fantastic rooftop restaurant and bar, and the central location. After checking out several other hotels and restaurants in the Galle Fort area, this is easily the top choice.
Located right in the heart of Galle Fort, my room was luxurious, with such a deep mattress, I practically needed a ladder! Staff were responsive and very obliging, and the (English) breakfast was lavish! The hotel had a charming ambience.
Breakfast was great and the limited staff tried to provide their best for customers. Although the room was small bed was comfortable and we also got 2 free tuktuk rides to galle fort thanks to the Managing director of the hotel.
Everything. The size and comfort of the room, which was perfect for a family of 4. The staff, who were courteous, friendly and very helpful. The location, in the heart of Galle Fort. The food, and we had great Sri Lankan breakfasts every morning. The price, which was very reasonable given the quality of the room, breakfast, service and location, especially compared to what I saw from other hotels with a similar colonial aesthetic.
The location is great, right inside Galle Fort. Staff are very welcoming and did their best to insure our satisfaction. The hotel’s vibes make you feel at home.
This is a beautiful historic building. The room was excellent, and the lobby and dining areas were very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The quality of the service and the attention to detail from the three men managing this hotel was absolutely perfect. The breakfasts we were served, which were included in the room price, were the best we've ever had. This hotel was perfect in every way, and we will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Galle Fort.
Beautiful boutique hotel in the nicest street of Galle fort. Very nice sense of aesthetics and decoration, and the rooms are comfortable and quiet. The shower had great hot water with pressure, which is rare to find in Sri Lanka. The staff was very friendly and tried at all times to ensure a best experience for us.
The guest house is owned and run by lovely family. They were very hospitable and ready to help. Location is great: close to railway and bus stations, quiet area, behind the Asiri hospital [convenient for PCR testing], walking distance to Galle Fort, short ride to Unawatuna beach. We had one of the best breakfasts in Sri lanka in this hotel, notably proper Italian coffee. Room was spacious, clean, with all facilities, huge balcony, TV, excellent wifi. We highly recommend this guest house if you would like to have a pleasant stay in Galle
