Listing Details

Le Jardin du Fort is a charming colonial-era boutique retreat tucked within UNESCO-listed Galle Fort. Occupying a beautifully restored Portuguese-Dutch residence, the guesthouse features just nine intimate rooms, each thoughtfully decorated to blend local heritage with contemporary comfort. Rooms include air-conditioning, tea/coffee-making facilities, minibars, ensuite GROHE showers, and fast Wi‑Fi—but notably no TVs, enhancing its serene, unplugged atmosphere. Guests begin their day with a freshly prepared breakfast—delicious croissants, Sri Lankan and Western options—enjoyed in the courtyard or on the terrace, often complimented as “the best in Fort” . The on-site Puppets Restaurant & Café, run by the owners, offers gourmet dishes for lunch and dinner alongside personalized service and occasional cooking lessons. With a perfect 9.2 rating and 9.9 for location, the property earns high praise for its warm hospitality, meticulous decor, and tranquil ambiance just steps from Fort Beach and local attractions. Ideal for couples, small families, and discerning travelers, Le Jardin du Fort offers an intimate, peaceful escape infused with heritage charm and thoughtful luxury.
