We had a lovely stay at the French Villa. Olivier, the owner, is a nice guy and his staff is very helpful. The villa has a beautiful garden overlooking the jungle behind. The location of the villa is quite central: in the middle of a little street with some shops and restaurants, only a short walk away from the beach.... More

Everything to do with our stay at this hotel was a disaster. The first night we got locked out of our room and despite all the calls we made to the owners telephone number he never answered the phone that night or even called the following day to ask what had happened. There should always be someone sleeping at the... More

We stayed at the French Villa in December and would recommend it for people looking for places in Unawatuna. It's a short walk from the beach but actually I found this was better as it can get quite busy along the beach. Our room was quite small and was one of the more expensive places that we stayed in Sri... More

I found the French Villa by chance. The sinage isn't large and I just happened to see the entrance while at a shop across the street. But Im glad I did. I stayed here, in a "family room", with my friend for a week. The room was large with a double bed and two twin beds. Small, but modern bathroom... More

We stayed at the French Villa in late November 2011. When we arrived the owner was very helpful and gave us a room with another bed for our 6 month old baby. All was well for the first night, but on the second we came back from our evening meal to find very loud music blaring out of the restaurant... More
