Ashan and his family went way beyond expectations to make this stay magical. sri lankan breakfast every day where they cook delicious local dishes for us to try. the house is so beautiful, quiet, homey. the surroundings are super peaceful yet not too far from the beach. We rented a car so this was perfect. if you don't have a car, maybe a bit annoying to have to call tuk tuks all the time. The yoga place nearby is amazing. the nature around is beautiful, this stay could not have been better. I was working from the house and the wifi was very strong, and there was a table with a chair in the room so it was also easy to work.

We were guests at Villa Ema for a week and it was difficult to leave. The villa is beautiful and gives you the feeling of being on holiday but at the same time a bit of home. We don't need to talk about the cleanliness - everything 10/10 and the service too. Every morning there is an insanely great authentic breakfast prepared by the grandmother. The family that manages this accommodation is just great, lovely and they turn every wish into reality. I even got a birthday present at the end. It was a wonderful holiday that I won't forget, we are very grateful for this hospitality and will definitely be back!

The place is located right on the beach. Superb view especially from the room on the second floor, but ground floor views is also amazing. Very quiet over night, super noise isolation. Recently built(or seriously renovated). The family that is running this place are unbelievably helpful and kind, and will make sure your stay is maximum comfortable for you

A nice and clean, basic room. Comes with a fan and a mosquito net. The bed was large. The room comes with a kettle. The host was nice. Provided us with a knife and a plate to have some fruit when we asked for it. The location is good.

Everthing. The best owner and helpfull staff. Indika is very kind, Thanks to him I was able to fix a problem I had and I resolved it. It helps you with everything you need. I really recommend this accommodation, right in front of the beach. Perfect accommodation, everything very clean, spacious, quiet and clean. The restaurant next to the beach is very good and very well priced, with a lot of variety. I 100% recommend staying if you plan to go to Galle and surrounding areas.

I really enjoyed staying at this place, the view is just amazing and you can hear the waves while sleeping. Indika is a great host, he gave me recommendations about nearby places and arranged a pickup from the airport as well.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a walk-in shower. We loved Pirate, the owner’s dog, who kept us company morning and night. The rooftop area is perfect for watching sunset over the fort and watching locals play games of cricket. The location is in walking distance from everything in the fort. Wish we could have stayed longer!
