I cannot recommend this place enough. It is beautifully presented, very spacious and in the heart of the old town. The cost includes a great breakfast in the Fort Bazaar hotel. When we were there we were looked after by Ruwan who was brilliant. 10 out of 10 for the property and 10 out of 10 for Ruwan.

My family and I just stayed in 41 lighthouse Street. It was our last stop after 2 weeks of travelling around Sr Lanka. We had stayed in some very nice places so had high expectations and it did not disappoint! It is beyond beautiful, so tastefully decorated, beautiful swimming pool, very comfortable beds and Ruwan was there to take care of us! It was our anniversary and he arranged a cake which was so kind and thoughtful. A real hidden gem in Galle. We also had breakfast in the sister hotel Fort Bazaar which was delicious!

A beautifully positioned villa right in the heart of Galle Fort. Well decorated and ideal for families wanting a proper holiday together.The villa has three bedrooms, a generous dining area, a pool, pool table, and a comfortable lounge with TV. Breakfast can be had in-house or at Fort Bazar, just 200 metres away, which offers a solid spread of Sri Lankan and Western options. Plenty of other good spots nearby too — Ropewalk, Malus, and 1770 are all worth a visit.Special mention to Ruwan, the caretaker, who is genuinely excellent. Tea, luggage, room setup — he handles everything cheerfully and without fuss. Highly recommend for anyone heading to Galle with family.

We just spent three days at Lighthouse 41 as a family of 4. The lovely old space is spacious, elegant, and very well located. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning is effective. We enjoyed being able to eat at the villa’s sister-restaurant, and have their food brought to the villa. Ruwan looked after us and the villa during our stay and couldn’t have been more helpful. He was discrete but always there when we needed anything, was extremely friendly, speaks good English, and kept the villa immaculate- we would highly recommend.

My family and I stayed here in Galle Fort at Villa 41 Lighthouse St. We had 2 nights and were treated to the very best service by the management team, but especially by Ruwan who looked after us from early morning to late at night. Ruwan made sure we were fed and kept comfortable with hot and cold drinks. He has such a pleasant manner and was so willing to ensure we had our best time here in Galle Fort. We were right in the midst of the fort. We were even given a wonderful fort historical tour by the management. I was helped with some printing and given a quiet place to rest after checking out. The home is grand and comfortable. The pool clean and refreshing. The facilities were kept impeccably clean by Ruwan and well maintained. Our family would come back here for sure if we return to Sri Lanka.
