I stayed in this beautiful property for one night and I wish I stayed there for few more nights. The elegant designs full of heritage yet with a modern touch is so alluring. We were served with mint popsicles instead of welcome drinks. That was really unique. The room along with the entire hotel is tastefully decorated. It is extremely cozy and very close to many eateries. However, after having an absolutely delicious breakfast we wish we had dinner at the hotel. I highly recommend this property. Will definitely go back. Special mention for the employees. They were extremely courteous and efficient. 
Overall a perfect stay.

Absolutely loved it

This place was fantastic and the service was excellent. Our breakfast was delicious and served in the beautiful dining area. The villa is well located so only a couple of minutes from the fort and stadium. The hosts were excellent and I won’t forget the delicious passion fruit and mint homemade ice popsicles we were treated to on arrival. 

Wonderful villa in the heart of Galle

Friends had recommended this wonderful hotel to us. There are only four rooms and it is very special. The lounge area and dining area are spacious, the staff caring and helpful and the food delicious. We had only booked bed and breakfast but decided to eat dinner here too once we saw the menu. The hotel is very clean, the rooms spacious with a good size bathroom, and there is an outside sitting area on the roof where you can sit and watch the sun set into the sea while enjoying a drink. The hotel is close to everything in Galle Fort.

Excellent boutique hotel

We decided to pick this beautiful villa for a weekend in galle. This was one the most beautiful places we have been. It’s in galle fort and it was very easy getting around fort. We loved this place. Their service was the best. Starting from the villa guardian to everyone else. They make this place more special. Their breakfast we really good. They delivered beyond our expectations. Would love to come to this place.  

Amazing place 

Clean, spacious, comfortable, private villa - located in a central location in the Galle Fort.

The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very attentive to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We look forward to coming back again in the future.

A short walk away you can find peddlars street with many restaurants and cafes.

@Chamath & Team: Thank you for taking care of us during our stay.

Galle Fort Experience

A small but very nice boutique hotel with just 4 rooms. When we arrived were welcome with mint ice pop which was so refreshing. Could not believe how nice the interior was until stepping inside. It was a very hot day so such a relief to go back to a nice place especially bedrooms with air-cond. The lounge is elegantly furnished. The rooftop terrace is pleasant to sit when it's not too hot. Got on very well with the other two couples at the hotel and it was really enjoyable sitting on the roof top terrace for drinks and chats. The bedroom lacked power points to charge devices and had to use the hotel adaptor because the pin configuration was very unusual. 

Took half board option and went for a seafood platter - squids, barramundi, white bait and king prawns with rice, chips and salad and the serving was so generous enough for 4 people. Squids were so tender and soft and the rest of the platter was very nice and good value for money. Second night had crab curry and coconut ice-cream and both were delicious. The curry came with 9 small condiments, salad, popadom and rice. It was such a feast! The two dinners at Taru Villas had to be among the best meals at hotels on our Sri Lanka trip. Breakfast - we only had western style breakfast, the scrambled eggs and mushrooms were even nicer than Ceylon Tea Trails’.

The manager and staff were all very nice, friendly and did a good job to keep guests happy. While we were having dinner a staff member went to the room to do evening service - refreshed the bathroom, replaced towels, provided more water bottles and did turn down service. We enquired about the beach and asked if the hotel provided beach towels and when we were ready to go the beach towels were already in the lounge waiting for us. One staff member was arranging flowers and I learnt a good tip from him. 

Chamah and staff looked after us very well, arranged for our favourite dishes with the chef. We felt so much at home!

A wonderful boutique hotel

Taru Villas is a beautiful home, centrally located. We stayed in the Superior room, and everything about it was nice.
The staff was always helpful and accommodating.
Breakfast was delicious and very filling.

Taru Villa Lighthouse

I wanted accommodation in the Fort and ended up being very happy with the choice of Taru Villas Lighthouse Street for its location, decor and service.  Being in the middle of the Fort, I thought it was pretty quiet too. 
We had a light dinner in the villa and the quality was very good. Breakfast was very good as well, with a only a few choices but nonetheless very tasty.  I had granola with buffalo curd, banana and coconut and my husband had French toast. 
The bedrooms were upstairs, some with TVs, some without, depending on the category of room.  
My only complaint would be that the hot water tank was small and didn't give a very hot or long shower.   We would stay here again.

Lovely villa and excellent location

We spent two nights at Taru Lighthouse st in Galle Fort. It is a beautifully restored Dutch style home, great artworks and furnishings, staff are friendly and helpful without hovering. Taru has a great central location to explore the fort and has easy landmarks at the closest intersection to find your way home at night. The AC bedroom is great after a steamy day wandering the cobbled laneways of Galle Fort. If dining in, the food is really good! Ask for a fan at the table it’s worth it!

Taru, great location.

An oasis in this most interesting of places - right in the heart of 17th Century Galle Fort providing easy access to all the interesting sights and sounds on offer. The food was very delicious and service second to none. Thank you, Chamath and staff looking after us so well. It was a privilege to stay in the beautiful 1800s Dutch Merchants converted home.
