So glad we found this Villa. We booked in here at the last minute after finding our original booked accommodation simply unacceptable. The rooms are beautifully presented with quality furniture and fittings. The pool area is fantastic and it is a five minute walk to the beach if you want a change of scenery. This is not a hotel but truly a Villa. Only six rooms and staff there to help with whatever you need Sammy the head chef, yes there are two staff there to prepare you meals if you want, is a very good chef. The food was magnificent and Sammy catered specifically for my wife’s allergy to sulphites and vinegars. As it is a Villa, there is no bar, but some drinks available. We bought some beers down the street and put them in the kitchen fridge. This is five star accommodation that is well worth the experience. …

We had the extraordinary good fortune to have booked a 2 night stay at JH Villa at the end of our 11 night Sri Lankan holiday. Without a doubt, this is one of the nicest boutique hotels we have ever stayed in, in all our years of travel. The decor is beautiful, beds extremely comfortable, staff are attentive and unassuming and the pool area is simply remarkable. It feels like the owners have thought of every single small detail in this property. The beach is just a short stroll away and access is easy at the JH Beach House. The food is excellent, from pastas to keep our kids happy to authentic Sri Lankan curries. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer.

JH Villa is an extraordinary, special place. My boyfriend and I had a truly unforgettable stay here. It is the most exquisitely beautiful oasis and the high expectations I had were completely exceeded. The tranquil grounds are the perfect spot to relax with only the sounds of the monkeys and plethora of other tropical wildlife for company. The rooms are exquisitely appointed and I don't know where to begin in praising the staff for their incredibly warm welcome and for looking after us so attentively. We could not have been better catered for - Sammi's meals were just outstanding and the warmth and friendliness of all of the staff will stay with us always. We can't wait to return!

Wonderful place. It is a gorgeous building with beautiful gardens and pool. Chef cooks delicious food and everyone looks after you so well. And if you can year yourself away, the beach (with a private beach house) is 5 mins walk away and the fun of Galle fort isn't far in a tuk tuk.

Spent the most beautiful time in Sri Lanka in the fantastic JH Villa surrounded by the most luxurious garden. The snacks at the pool at sunset prepared by the cooks were absolutely divine and it was hard to leave the place for a tuk tuk ride to Galle Fort. Back home all the Staff and Manager made the most to create an exclusive atmosphere of well being and kindness. I will surely come back to enjoy also the Beach House and the catch of the day from the fisherman’s nearby.

What can I say- this is better than a 5* hotel. We have traveled a lot, so know What we are talking about!:) We stayed for 5 days, but could easily stay longer. The property are so well kept, lovely surroundings with peacocks, monkey and lovely garden. The swimmingpool are superb. The villa it self is lovely- we stayed in the Jade room. Spacious, lovely interior and very clean (all days) The chef are so good- we love food, and this is one of the best food experience we have had. Did so much to please our pallets, from breakfast, lunch to Dinner. Fresh and perfect flavours. The other staff is also very good and did everything to make this a perfect vacation. Gave us excellent service. Plyed with our children (age 1,5 and 3,5 years old). The the dogs are the sweetest. The manager himself guided us in Galle.:) The Villa has its own beach house - that was lovely. Unfortunately the waves was to big for us because of the kids. But they drive us to Wijaya beach, wich is protected with the reef. We could also swim with turtles:) We want to come back and would recomend it to everybody. …

We stayed at this magical villa for just 3 nights but wish we could have stayed longer . It is set in 3 acres of immaculately tended gardens, the pool is spectacular , and the villa itself is beautifully designed .. the bathrooms are very light and bright and each room has a wonderful verandah to sit and relax The highlights are the lovely staff who make you feel completely spoilt , It really feels like a very luxurious friends house . 2 lovely well behaved dogs who accompany you everywhere ..! We only had dinner once , but it was lovely , delicious homemade curry and really nice wine All this , and just a short walk to the beach ! It is a very special place and would highly recommend it Can’t wait to return

What a fabulous stay we have had at JH Villa! The house is splendid and surrounded by the most wonderful lush gardens. Waking up to the sound of birds (and monkeys), spotting peacocks, watching monkeys swinging around the beautiful mango and jackfruit trees - and you’re 5 mins away from the beach!!! The staff were lovely - warm and hospitable - the kind of hospitality you only get in Sri Lanka. Our little 2 yr old could not get enough of the verandas, the pool cabanas, Togo the lovely lab and what he called “running in the jungle!” It’s evident this place has been carefully restored by an amazing owner who has invested more than just money and time. A fantastic place - and we will definitely be back! A big thank you to Mr Warne and his team for making our stay special. Keep up the good work!…
