I had an excellent stay at Galle Heritage Villa, with its beautiful and spacious rooms that offered great comfort. The villa's location within the historic Galle Fort made it easy to explore nearby attractions and restaurants. However, I found the communal areas a bit underutilized since the new management does not offer catering. Overall, it was a good experience, especially enjoying the lovely balcony views.

I had an amazing stay at the Galle Heritage Villa By Jetwing, which is beautifully restored and located right in the heart of Galle Fort. The upstairs rooms are spacious and come with gorgeous terraces. While the amazing communal areas weren't utilized much during my visit due to the lack of catering, the overall charm and convenience of this place made it truly nice. However, I wouldn't have minded more clarity on room selections at the time of booking.

My stay at Galle Heritage Villa was truly special! The villa is beautifully restored and has a fantastic location right in the historical Fort, making it super easy to explore. The upstairs rooms are a real treat with large spaces and a cool terrace, though I initially booked a downstairs room but got upgraded, so definitely check when reserving. The lack of catering wasn't a huge deal since Galle has tons of great restaurants nearby, but I wished the communal areas were used more.
