Villa Sisila is our colonial style, river-fronted home, situated forty minutes by car from the historic UNESCO heritage site of Galle Fort.
After a whistle stop tour of all Sri Lanka’s cultural highlights, it was such a joy to melt away at Villa Sisila. Mornings surrounded by birdsong and all manner of wildlife, and evenings of beautiful light on the water. It is a truly wonderful place.
Paradise really exists! What a diamond! We have had a wonderful time here. Thank you to the super friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely recommend this place
It has been a terrific week at Villa Sisila. The thought and care that went into the design of the villa shows through in the easy life one enjoys here. What a very special return visit to Sri Lanka
Total heaven! We loved every minute in beautiful Villa Sisila. It was so lovely to be hidden in such a quiet spot, with breathtaking views and total privacy. We couldn’t have imagined a better end to our time in Sri Lanka - definitely the highlight of our trip. Thank you!
Clare’s place was everything & more than what we were expecting. The villa is absolutely beautiful, set in the most peaceful & tranquil surroundings. Nuwan’s cooking and hosting was the cherry on the top of our experience. Tushara also really looked after us. We were able to organise 3 private yoga classes & a massage - personal highlights of my stay at the villa. All of the above meant that whenever we left the villa, we wanted to get back straight away to our private paradise even though Ahangama is a great area to visit. Highly recommend staying and experiencing the beauty of Villa Sisila!!
I cannot recommend Villa Sisila enough. We had a fantastic stay and hope to return soon. Chef Nuwan and his team went above and beyond to make our time on the island perfect!!
The villa is a dream . Immersed in the jungle, by the river, the noises of nature make every moment magical Cherry on the cake is the chef, who can satisfy every need! Thank you for the wonderful days! An indelible memory ❤️
I've been to nice airbnbs around the world, but Clare's home is by far the best I've stayed in. The place is fantastic, the perfect getaway to relax and very conveniently located (7 mins tuktuk ride to the village). What made our stay extra special is Chef Nuwan and the staff. We felt so pampered and the chef cooked us delicious meals, getting exactly what we needed every single time. What an experience! The staff and tuktuks will also arrange anything needed for you. Totally recommend the Clare's place if you're looking for a relaxing getaway in the middle of the jungle. Thank you Clare for your attentive care during our stay, will see you again soon❤
Firstly photos don’t do enough justice to this beautiful place. Clare’s place is a paradise tucked in thalduwa island. Want to stay from hustle of city life , then this is your place . And nuan’s culinary skills is a cherry on top of the cake. Very delicious and makes you just not to leave the place at all. Every corner of the house is clean and well maintained. Would definitely come back for a longer stay Clare . Thank you !
