Situated in Galle with Boossa Beach and Pitiwella Beach nearby, Star Nodes Villa features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 2.5 km from Dadalla West Beach, 7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 7.4 km from Dutch Church Galle. Galle Fort National Museum is 7.3 km away and Japanese Peace Pagoda is 12 km from the villa.

In short: The villa is just great, front and back garden, 2 AC bedrooms... just lovely! But the best part - the hosts. These warm people make you feel looked after and well-cared for. Every morning they will bring us fresh breakfast - jug of smoothie, plate of fresh fruit, nome-made curry and coconut sambol (due to our request). The villa is super-close to the beach, yet it is secluded. Sit and enjoy cold arrack on the rocks and palm treems are above your head... I cannot recommend more Star Nodes villa for an unforgettable relaxing stay. Into the detais: it was super - easy for taxy driver from Colombo to find the property. The hosts met us at the gate, helped us with the luggage, got us a cold welcome drink. They showed us around the house, gave us their contact number in case we need anything and let us chill. Next morning - here they come at the agreed time, bringing us massive tasty breakfast. The only thing to decide is whether we enjoy our food in the fronnt garden or in the one at the back of the house. The villa is completely secure and safe. Saji, host's son, was kind to take us around to the shops for beers, arrack, food with his tuktuk ( for which we were more than pleased to pay the modest ''taxi'' rates). In evenings we just sat and enjoyed the sky, dinner and us two being together. We cannot wait to come back to Star Nodes Villa!

    This hotel is truly a gem for history lovers. Filled with ornate objects, colonial era furniture, four poster beds, creaky wooden floors, the works! It has been masterfully restored. And yet it contains all the modern day comforts. Service was top notch. No complaints at all. Breakfast was a highlight- beautiful presented and filled us up until the afternoon.

    This charming and comfortable guesthouse was a highlight of our Sri Lanka visit. The room was comfortable, and the ocean views from the balcony and the upstairs terrace are magical. The staff were relaxed and friendly, the food was very good and all the major sights are within walking distance. Watching evening cricket on the the green or the playful antics of the monkeys in the nearby trees only added to the atmosphere of this special spot.

    The room was huge, the photos did not do it justice. Plenty of fresh water in the room, air conditioner, hairdryer, bath salts etc. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. The whole hotel was decorated beautifully. The gardens are idyllic. Could not fault the staff. They made the stay. Breakfast was scrumptious.

    This is a small hotel with three rooms. The staff here takes good care of the guests. Don't expect a fully functional reception desk. It is more like an upscale homestay. Having said that, i must add that this bungalow has been lovingly restored, it is aesthetically pleasing and there is a touch of personalised care in everything. Best place to stay inside the galle fort.

    This is a beautiful heritage building that is well maintained. The location is superb, facing the western ramparts of Galle Fort, perfect for sunsets, and just around the corner from one of the main thoroughfares. The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. The Sri Lankan options for breakfast were delicious. Perfect for those who like unique, boutique places that make you feel more like you're staying at someone's villa than a business.
