Villa Restaurée Du Fort De Galle

Spacious and uniquely styled to mix classic Dutch themes with modern touches. Well placed within the Fort for quiet residential or chic hospitality use.

If some Galle Fort villas rely on quirk and charm, this one rests much more firmly on elegant style. It has been recently refurbished to a very high standard and mixes authentic Dutch-period elements with chic contemporary touches - most notably in the kitchen, which wouldn’t be out of place in a fancy London post-code.

The house sits slightly back from the Fort’s busier streets but is within a short stroll of the restaurants, cafes and boutiques that make this popular enclave so attractive.

As well as its blended style, the space this villa boasts sets it quite apart from others of a similar footprint. The bedrooms - other than that on the ground floor which might suit best as a study - are all grandly spacious; the two reception rooms at the front, equally so.

A very large (for the Fort) open courtyard adds to the sense of generous space and could in part, with some administrative care, be converted back to the swimming pool it once was.
