Detailed Reviews
This little gem tucked away in Middle Street is a luxurious home from home. The bedrooms are large, airy and comfortable. The real value though, is not in the beautifully decorated, convenient, home, but in the help of Erandika the manager and chef and Thulani the hostess. They anticipate your every need and quietly and efficiently run the home, keep it clean, cook the most amazing meals and generally take excellent care of their guests. I can not recommend it highly enough. The decor is beautiful and the house a cool haven from the hustle and bustle of Galle.

32 Middle Street is a beautiful little gem tucked in an unassuming street of the Galle Fort. I had called a few days in advance and make an inquiry, and then called back to confirm the booking for a day visit, inclusive of lunch, use of the pool and a room along with a friend of mine and her daughter.
Upon reaching the villa, and then realizing there was no one to answer the door, I called the correspondent to only realize she had assumed I didn't confirm my booking. 30 minutes later however, the caretaker let us in and sorted things. Lunch however could not be fixed and had to be ordered from next door - which was fantastic by the way.
During our time there however the caretaker was missing on multiple occasions especially when we needed certain things like a glass of water or a pack of tissues. we were also later informed that we needed to pay by cash. Mind you this was a rainy cold day and the Fort is home to a handful of ATMs at very random locations. As the initial rate mentioned to me included food, and we had to order from out, I inquired about a deduction in rate but this was not possible.
There was no sanitizer, no mask worn by the caretaker or temperature checks.
Regardless, I did love the space very much and think I'd like to experience the villa on another day and time.

32 Middle Street is a wonderful place hidden in the heart of Galle Fort.
The sense of space & privacy you feel after you enter the premises through the narrow streets of Galle Fort, is unimaginable.
The food was fantastic, highlight being the absolutely gorgeous BBQ, both 5* in taste & presentation.
Beautiful and spacious interior with a cute pool :)
Very friendly and happy staff and was definitely a trip to remember!
Definitely going there again!

Stunning property in the Galle Fort that is a great base to explore the history, shops and restaurants. It's also the perfect hideaway in the heat of the day, with a fantastic swimming pool (which is extremely unusual to have within the Fort).
Superb and attentive service from Erandaka and Nirmal throughout our stay. Erandaka's breakfasts are also excellent - the poached egg curry with string hoppers is a must try!

Behind an unassuming facade lies a hidden paradise dripping in history and understated luxury.
Greeted by the chef and butler, we felt immediately at home. The rooms are spacious, cool and incredibly comfortable. The property easily catered for 3 adults and 2 kids, with plenty to keep all ages occupied. The pool is wonderously cool and calming and kept the kids busy during the hotter part of the day.
The location is perfect! Whether you want to learn the history of the fort or sample the wonderful food everything is just outside the front door.
We will most certainly return.

Love the ambience of the place so peaceful. Service provided by Eranda and Nirmal are exceptional this is are second time here and we would visit again. The rooms are clean and comfortable and located in closing distance to all attractions. Only thing I would like to change is the skylight in the 2 guest rooms which gets too much sunlight early in the morning

What an amazing stay in the most charming town - the staff go out of there to make you comfortable (including entertaining your kiddos!) and are fantastic chefs so make the most of the home cooked meals. Loved the historical home feel while still being able to enjoy a great pool and modern facilities. We can’t wait to be back as a family to enjoy the warmth of Galle and the staff

This was one of most amazing stays I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Our hosts Erandaka and Nirmal were so hospitable and made us feel at home. They looked after our every need including organising transport back to Colombo. The beauty of this house is unparalleled and includes a swimming pool which is unheard of in Galle Fort. The proximity to all the amazing cafes and shops make it convenient and an experience that is Sri Lankan to the core. Thank you for having us!
