Hay cuatro espléndidas habitaciones en Rampart House, cada una de ellas diseñada con el mismo cuidado y arte que las demás partes del bungalow. Las habitaciones están amuebladas con camas dobles o individuales con dos postes y mosquiteras blancas para mantenerle cómodo. También con muebles antiguos, las habitaciones son realmente antiguas y desprenden un encanto del viejo mundo tan difícil de encontrar. Los cuatro dormitorios tienen aire acondicionado y cuentan con baño propio. Las grandes ventanas mantienen las habitaciones bien iluminadas y ventiladas.
The beauty of this gorgeous house lies in the fact that it accommodates everything you'd seek in a tropical vacation home and yet it remains in the city. The stunning swimming pool lined with blocks of stone and surrounded by luscious foliage invites you in to take a dive. The garden beside the pool has numerous sun loungers for you to relax on while sunbathing or tanning. The stone walls of the fort keep it all private and personal shielding you from prying eyes and at the same giving you a nostalgic vibe.
Hay dos zonas de estar en la calle Rampart, una abierta junto a la piscina y otra más opulenta con ricos interiores, obras de arte selectivas y celosías en los marcos de las ventanas. Las salas de estar están cómodamente amuebladas para proporcionarle rincones a los que pueda retirarse fácilmente cuando se ponga el sol y desee recostarse y relajarse. Los acogedores interiores son sin duda hogareños y el mobiliario antiguo y de época no hace más que aumentar este ambiente de lujo. También hay una sala de televisión en el bungalow para cuando quieras ver unas películas o ponerte al día con tus programas favoritos.
Los huéspedes del bungalow tienen mucho donde elegir cuando se trata de pasar el rato, ya que se puede hacer al aire libre y lo mismo en el interior. Hay una zona de comedor al aire libre con una mesa redonda para cenar bajo las estrellas o tomar un buen desayuno srilankés u occidental con el sonido de los pájaros. Un segundo comedor se encuentra bajo un pabellón también abierto con un aura más formal. La cocina también está totalmente equipada y puede solicitar que un chef le prepare deliciosas delicias locales.

Rampart Street has been built in the best possible location in Galle, Sri Lanka. You can easily enjoy the sights of the Galle Fort - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also head out about town. If you're adventurous, definitely arrange a trip to Yala National Park or go whale and dolphin watching at Mirissa.
10/10This place is simply stunning. You feel regal just walking around the house (palace?). Looking out of the master bedroom you see over the ramparts and out across the ocean. You get the same view from the windowside tub in the huge ensuite bathroom. The dining/living area is open so you don't feel like you're inside, which is great when it's sunny but was also incredible when a sudden intense rain shower hit and we experienced it without getting wet - exhilarating. I thought the location was perfect - on the edge of Galle Fort so that you're within walking distance of everything but without any noise, hoards of people trawling past etc. Loads to see in the maze of old streets just behind the house which lead through the Fort. The staff were absolutely wonderful, always smiling and incredibly helpful. They cooked us some quite spectacular meals. If we go back to Galle Fort, we will definitely be staying here again. Fingers crossed.
10/10After exploring everything Sri Lanka has to offer from temples and tea plantations to national parks and safari, Rampart Villa was the perfect hideaway with its tranquility, privacy and exclusivity to return to. The in-house staff were incredibly charming and welcoming and catered to all our needs be it cooking a delicious and authentic Sri Lankan meal to organising a TukTuk for our travels. The abundant living space was incredibly designed and furnished with elegant antiques, fit for royalty. The master bedroom has a four poster king-size bed in the center with views of the rampart and sea. The en-suite has a huge, luxurious bath also overlooking the sea. I couldn't think of a way to improve the place, it's truly special and I would absolutely love to return.
10/10It was absolute paradise staying at this house. The rooms are all huge with amazingly comfortable beds and on suite bathrooms. It's opened planned setting meant that you could eat and relax in the shade but still be outside. Galle Fort is a magical place and Manoj who runs the house looked after us so well and cooked delicious meals. I highly recommend it!
10/10Wonderful country, great town, delightful house, brilliant views over the ramparts. SUPERB STAFF!!!
10/10The house is restful, peaceful, cool and full of history. Amitha’s cooking will be calling from afar. Manoj was wonderful too—he goes far beyond the call of duty in his care and affection for our children.
