A Walk Through Time
As you enter through the original teak doorway, notice the distinctive features that transport you to 1930s Ceylon:

• High ceilings with intricate moldings designed to keep rooms cool
• Thick walls made from coral and lime, a traditional building technique
• Sprawling verandas where planters once sipped their evening tea
• The central courtyard garden, unchanged for nearly a century

Modern Comforts in a Historic Setting
While we’ve preserved the villa’s soul, we’ve carefully added contemporary touches:

• Plush orthopedic beds dressed in crisp linens
• Rain showers in the spacious bathrooms
• A sparkling private pool surrounded by tropical gardens
• High-speed WiFi (because even time travelers need connectivity)

Guest Favorite Moments

• Breakfast in the courtyard as tropical birds serenade you
• Afternoon tea on the veranda with homemade coconut cookies
• Sunset cocktails by the pool, the golden light filtering through ancient trees

“We didn’t just stay in a villa – we lived in a museum for a week,” wrote recent guests from France. “Yet with all the comforts of a luxury hotel.”
