Truly beautiful Colonial-style mansion which was newly renovated and surrounded by palm trees & exotic plants.Very near to Town but still a quiet location, Galle center 4KM, Unawatuna Beach 7KM.The whole house or just a single room can be booked
This is my parents house and all my brothers and sisters were grown up here. With the time passed we have moved to Switzerland​ and I thought of renovate and convert this to a Villa. It wasn't started to open this Villa for foreigners but holiday visit to my home land with my parents and friends to get together.
