05How far is Galle Fort?
Galle Fort's clock tower, the Galle Fort National Museum and the National Maritime Museum are each about 5 km from Villa Cozy, and Galle Lighthouse is about 6 km. That makes us a calm base for exploring the fort by day and coming back to a quiet garden in the evening.

Our Booking.com listing includes kitchen facilities: an electric kettle, a tea and coffee maker, kitchenware, a dining table and a dining area. That suits a morning cup of tea, a simple breakfast or fruit from the local market. Ask us what is set up for your stay when you book.

09What are the house rules?
Pets are not allowed, the house is smoke-free, and we do not host parties or events, including hen and stag parties. These rules keep the garden calm for every guest, and for the birds that make it their home. Everything else is about making you feel at home.
