Amazing large colonial villa with private pool and 1-acre garden

'Malgedara' is a spectacular villa, fully enclosed for privacy, with 1 acre of lush tropical surroundings for you to experience nature and beauty up close and so close to Galle. One side of the garden overlooks a paddy field vista with grazing bullocks and the odd monkey swinging across the swaying coconut palms. The villa itself is furnished to the highest standards while retaining its colonial heritage. There are 4-poster teak beds in all rooms, air-con and fans and hot and cold water. All your entertainment needs are taken care of in the small sitting room with TV, DVD and stereo system including Internet access for those workaholics. There are two verandha seating areas one being a huge 15 metre long area at the front of the house, complete with dining for 10 and lazy chairs and sun loungers. The kitchen is huge and fully equipped for all your needs with a separate laundry room & washing machine. The garden is beautiful and will keep all you horticulturists fascinated for hours

Map location symbol marks the location of this property on the South Coast Sri Lanka
Location
Nearest airport: Colombo at 180 kilometres
Nearest beach: Beach at 2 kilometres
Car: not necessary

The villa is located near to Koggala Lake, a beautiful area abundant with birds and perfect for canoe rides around the different islands, the most popular being Bird Island. The village of Kathaluwa is a lovely, friendly village approximately 20 minutes drive (10 km) from the famous 300-year old UNESCO World heritage site of Galle Fort in Galle. A number of well-known beaches can be found between Koggala and Galle Fort: Koggala beach (1km), Talpe beach (3km), and of course the better known Unawatuna beach (6km). The great location of the villa makes it handy to stroll to the lake, nip to the beach in a tuk-tuk or go a bit further to Galle Fort. When taking longer trips to see elephants or visit tea estates, we can help with organising your transport and guide. Between Koggala and Galle town you can find a range of resturants in locations by the beach or along country roads. Should you require full catering at home, our cook is happy to oblige.

Local activities surfing, swimming, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing

Some feedback 'We had a fabulous at your two villas in Galle. Everyone was charming and helpful. The pool and view at Malgedara were just stunning. Kurullaah is a fabulous house and the proximity to the beach meant we whizzed back and forwards in a tuk tuk which the kids loved. I will recommend your villas to any-one who asks.' Dec 07/Jan 08 'Have just returned from a wonderful time in Sri Lanka. I would just like to say that the house was superb, in a great location really peaceful and great views. Can you please pass our thanks to all the staff, they worked really well to make us so welcome. Once again thanks for a relaxing time, and let the staff know how well they treated us.' Nov 2007

We can see how much thought and work has gone into making it so simply enchanting and, of course, the pool was a truly welcome bonus.'
