Un ambiente rústico en el interior conduce a un verde jardín en el exterior, con una increíble piscina de 18 metros rodeada de palmeras. Los jardines se extienden y los niños pueden correr, los adultos pueden hacer yoga o meditar, y mucho más, ya que hay mucho terreno que cubrir. Túmbese en las tumbonas junto a la piscina mientras disfruta de las vistas de la exuberante vegetación. Detrás de las tumbonas hay una casa de la piscina, amueblada con cómodos sofás y demás. Puede cenar en la zona de comedor al aire libre, entre la vegetación natural y el aire fresco, para disfrutar de una experiencia maravillosa.
La magnífica zona de estar de Ivory House cuenta con sofás de color verde azulado Pantone que se han colocado frente a los excelentes jardines de la villa. Los interiores totalmente blancos, incluidos el techo y el suelo, crean un ambiente rústico y vintage, holandés, en el interior que resulta inmediatamente acogedor y relajante. La sala de estar tiene una decoración mínima para disfrutar de la ligereza de los espacios abiertos, los rincones con brisa y la iluminación natural que entra por las enormes puertas de madera blanca.
La zona del comedor cuenta con una mesa de comedor tipo banco para que los huéspedes disfruten de una comida relajada con amigos y familiares. Una enorme cocina con una horda de comodidades y electrodomésticos necesarios para su aspiración culinaria es accesible y está lista para su uso. Hay escalones de piedra que conducen a los jardines tropicales, justo desde la cocina a través de puertas de madera. Otra zona de comedor se encuentra al aire libre bajo un cenador tradicional, con vistas a los verdes jardines y a la piscina.
El maravilloso personal de Ivory House hará todo lo posible para garantizar una estancia confortable, ocupándose del mantenimiento y la limpieza. Con un abundante desayuno cada mañana, empiece el día con mucha energía que necesitará para explorar Galle. Para otras comidas, el chef puede preparárselas, aunque con un coste adicional.
La villa está a unos minutos de la histórica ciudad de Galle, que se puede explorar a pie para ver las estructuras coloniales holandesas, iglesias, mezquitas y otros lugares. Es patrimonio mundial de la UNESCO por su arquitectura y plano. Es posible que tropieces con alguna cafetería, restaurante o bar de moda, así que asegúrate de ir a pie.
9.6/10The setting is beautiful, fabulous pool and grounds. 3 bedrooms are master size, 2 smaller but v accurately described in villa advert. Staff beyond eonderful.. Want a crab curry ? No problem! Mojito or g and t delivered to the pool, laundry done, totally looked after. We all loved it and would love to return. It was our favourite place in Sri Lanka ( surpassed Tea Trails!)
10/10One of the very best villas I have stayed in in all of Asia. The villa itself was spectacular inside and out, refurbished in excellent taste. Sunil and the team were always very helpful and the food prepared was some of the best on the island. They were friendly and made the whole week that much more special. Location is about 40 minutes from centre of Galle, but the village has tuk-tuks that are only 5 mins notice away. I would definitely come here again on my next visit.
10/10Our group of 4 friends (in 3 rooms) were blown away by the villa. Having lived in Asia and traveled for some years this is the stand out best I have ever stayed in. Amazing rice paddy setting and the house was colonial yet very modern design. However, it was Suranga, Sunil and the team who were what made our stay amazing. Suranga was our host, transport organiser, cocktail maker and all round man of the day. Having worked in top hotels before mixing cocktails, he was very pleased to suggest to whip up some dark and stormies, caprioskas and moscow mules. Sunil was our 5* chef whose food was the best we had in Sri Lanka. From curry to western food, he could do everything. Make sure you get in the kitchen with him and learn how to make the 10 curries he made for us one night. This place is designed for entertaining, which was exactly what we had planned. 8 friends were staying in nearby villas and we had them over for two dinner parties. Sunil and Suranga took this in their stride and were actually excited to host. They did not disappoint and were always on standby to fill up drinks, nibbles and made the evenings a great success for 12 people. It was a little bit hard to find for guests arriving - however they do help to arrange transport and are around to help direct if needed. Only negative would be that the wifi came from two devices which constantly needed charging and though the signal was great, it meant that if you weren't next to one then you did not have wifi. This was sometimes an issue when someone took one to bed! But why do you need wifi when the villa is so good anyway!
10/10What a fantastic and relaxing holiday we had. This was our first time booking a villa for holiday and visiting Sri Lanka as well.We were a party of 4 adults and 5 kids We were looked after very well, be it from our creative chef Sunil, who was ready to fulfill our every whim.He cooked different meals for the kids and us adults too . Kids loved his fish fingers and pancakes. They could eat that all day. Suranga, was very attentive and always ready to spoil the children and us too. The house and the grounds were beautiful and oh so relaxing. The kids loved the pool, the exploring in the gardens. We saw monkeys and iguanas and kingfishers all from our own comfortable villa. The only drawback is that the villa is a little ways from the beach. That reflected on times and prices of transport and also food as chef Sunil had to travel a little further to get to shops. Food was amazing and fresh and we did find it a little more pricey than what we are used to. Other than that we had amazing holidays, ate fantastic meals and had so much fun. The beaches were so clean (we could not spot any cigarette butts or other rubbish), locals were always smiling and so willing to help. we will for sure be back and recommend this to our friends.
10/10Ivory House is situated in a quiet lane set among paddy fields with stunning views. You really feel like you're right there in rural Sri Lanka. The property is beautiful and well appointed with very comfortable and spacious living rooms and comfortable bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and outdoor showers. The gardens are attractive and well maintained and the pool is fabulous - again with those stunning paddy field views. The staff are all very attentive but in the background and the chef makes the most delicious Sri Lankan or Western style food and seems able to be able to turn his hand to anything. Galle, with it's historic fort, and the nearby beaches are only a short tuk tuk drive away and to get back to Ivory House after a day sight-seeing is bliss.
10/10What an amazing house. Beautifully comfortable, amazing setting and wonderful staff. I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm counting down to my return trip.
10/10This was our first trip to Sri Lanka and our first stay at Ivory House. We had obviously seen pictures of Ivory House but were blown away at its incredible location and understated beauty, with Sunil and the team waiting on the veranda with fresh fruit cocktails on our arrival! The whole team looked after our every need, and every meal surpassed our expectations in presentation and taste. Lying by the pool, heading into town or down to the beach, Sunil and the team were on hand to arrange everything for us - their local knowledge and recommendations just added to the overall experience. I cannot recommend Ivory House highly enough - total luxury in a unique and beautiful part of Sri Lanka
10/10The house is located on the edge of a rural village... farmers work the paddy fields; dogs bark; children cry... usual village life. All beds are doubles. Galle town is 20 mins drive. A stylish house renovated with care and attention to detail located with stunning views across rice paddy fields and about 3km from the coast and gorgeous beaches. Good cook.
10/10This was my first time in Sri Lanka staying @ the Ivory house with 5 friends and we all can't wait to go back! Staff so friendly and accommodating, the chef's food amazing ..just tell him what you want and he'll do it! The house is so comfortable and stylish while keeping a both modern and old feel of Sri Lanka. The pool overlooking green rice fields was definitely a highlight! Great value for money and just a short drive to the beach and fort. Highly recommended .
