Fortaleza, Galle
A sprawling 3 bedroom villa located in the heart of the famous Galle Fort, Fortaleza is a former spice warehouse transformed into a gorgeous boutique hotel designed to replicate a Dutch period mansion with a contemporary touch. High ceilings, expansive verandas and an enclosed private garden ensure that a cool breeze blows through every corner of the hotel, while Dutch antique furnishings and local art create a relaxed and comfortable setting for guests. Bedrooms are spacious with four-poster beds and en suite facilities. Galle’s lively cobblestone streets are right on your doorstep – jewelry shops spilling over with sparkling gems, dusty antique shops selling old maps and china, colourful restaurants and the ancient ramparts that are perfect for sunset walks. Energetic by day, quiet at night, it’s not hard to be completely charmed by the location and all it has to offer.
