“Beach Villa Talpe, Unawatuna.” – Date of stay: February 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beach Villa Talpe, Unawatuna in close proximity to the Galle Fort which is steeped in history from the Portuguese, Dutch and English era. The view is breathtaking as the sun sets making the sky glow with fishing boats in the background, a cocktail in hand, watching the sweet serenade of waves eagerly rushing to the shore. The swimming pool forms a beautiful centerpiece where we relaxed with meals served beside it. The food was out of the world. I relished the jumbo prawns and king-sized crabs immensely. The service was outstanding. An awesome place for a sensational experience !!!!!!”

“Simply unforgettable” – Date of stay: September 2019

“What an unforgettable week spent in the company of Manjula, our generous host, and his dedicated team. A villa that oozes charm from its spacious living area, fabulous suites to the breathtaking seascape and plentiful lounging areas around the pool. Picking up immediately on our love of food, we were treated to a constant bowlful of surprises! A visit to the market and a cookery class with Manjula and two fabulous chefs allowed us to learn the basics, understand how and what to serve during a Sri Lankan feast. The conversations with Manjula and chef about food and ingredients is a memory that will stick with me forever.

The team looked after us being there as and when which left us time to do what we wanted when we wanted. Manjula also organized a trip to a tea plantation and nearby Galle. The elephant safari was accompanied by a picnic prepared for by the villa us to enjoy after an early start. The location allows access to short excursions up and down the coast and can be done in a tuk-tuk, train or with a guide. We were here for one week and we managed to visit outside, but equally to take advantage of the pool and beach walks. Thank you, everyone, at the Villa for your timeless attentiveness rich in emotion :)”
