Wow! I was able to spend 2 nights in the beautiful accommodation and can only recommend it with all my heart! The staff are very accommodating and warm with great attention to detail. The breakfast was incredible and there were great food and activity recommendations from the hosts that you could take advantage of. I also had a great Ayurveda treatment, which was the cherry on top of the stay - it was really great and I felt very comfortable at all times. You can tell that the hosts care a lot about the safety and well-being of their guests - a really great experience and a really great team. The location gave you great opportunities to see the wildlife around the accommodation and recharge your batteries - the perfect getaway spot.

The building is very modern, stylish and furnished with an amazing taste. The host and the complete staff are very attentive and supported us with great tips for our journey. The room is very spacious and impressive without windows that gives a nice breeze the whole time (there are fly screens and shutters though). The breakfast is in a brunch style with just amazing and tasty dishes. The dishes vary in the mornings and contain fruits, freshly baked bread with homemade jam and butter and different warm meals as well as a dessert. The breakfast is of an outstanding quality served by a very nice staff.

I absolutely loved every bit of the stay at Amma Erna - right from the first meeting with Ann where we sat and just spoke so comfortably (she is a great conversationalist) to the absolutely wonderful architecture, the calmness of the whole place, being woken up by peacocks in the morning, the absolutely incredible Belgian breakfast, the pool, the yoga sessions in the morning, the stunning views from the rooms, the natural lighting, and so many other things. The architecture was partly inspired by Geoffrey Bawa and it is very obvious that there was an extremely high level of attention to detail while building this place. Ann has put in her heart and soul into building and maintaining this place. I stayed only two nights but when I left, it felt like I had stayed there for a week and it felt like I was leaving home. This stay has been the best experience of my entire trip to Sri Lanka. Ann is lovely, and I was lucky to meet her along with Iza and Clarice. They were wonderful hosts. When I come back to Sri Lanka next, the first booking I will be making will be to come back here. I highly recommend staying here for anyone coming to Galle - even if it is 10 minutes or so from the fort area, you will feel so relaxed when you come back after a tiring day.

The only thing I didn't like about the experience at Amma Erna was that I could not stay longer that I had planned for.

We really loved our one night stay here on the day before Xmas eve. The villa is stunning, such beautiful architectural design inside and the pool. We were also really moved by the reason the property was built - what a lovely idea. We ate dinner and breakfast here. We loved the Sri Lankan breakfast where we met others guests- the food was delicious.

We knew before from reviews but just a heads up the open concept of the building means you can hear all animals throughout the night. It’s not a negative just something to be aware of.

Wonderful and very stylish villa with amazing food!!! The villa is very intimate since it is only 3 rooms, and it is secluded in a very quiet area surrounded by greenery, but still a short drive to the city of Galle. The food is unbelievable. We only had breakfast (we regret not having had dinner there too) and it was the best breakfast of our lives! The rooms are big and nicely decorated, with a unique style. There are areas to chill in the villa too, besides tje pool area. They allowed us to do late checkout at no extra cost which we appreciated highly.

There was not a single thing we did not like

Lovely house and amazing outside space with peacock and monkeys. Soft mattress and Great shower but hot water was inconsistent. The breakfast was nice and change everyday. We loved being a bit further away from the very touristy beach area

It's a bit a cold atmosphere as it's only 3 rooms and the staff is very discreet. The big issue was the noise as they were no window. The idea of being wake up by the sound of peacock may sound lovely but in reality it's very annoying also it's in a residential area and there were loud music for 2 night in row.

Absolutely amazing breakfast, kind and profesional service, beautiful nature around the villa. Architecture is quite imposing. Experience of a room with no glass windows, just mosquito nets around the room, makes you feel you are in jungle. Be ready to wake up at 05.00 a.m. with sounds of peacoks, dogs, roosters,…

No water heater in the room (so you cant make a coffee or tea, and the breakfast starts at 09.00), no fridge in the room!!!!, towels in bad condition, some broken inventar… but in total, the experience was ok. Please clean the pool.

Beautiful rooms and facilities. We stayed together with the owner, her husband and kids. We shared a lovely meal the first night and got to know the people. The staff working there was really nice and helpful and cooked really good breakfast for us.

The only bad thing for us it was really noisy area with alot og animals around, but the hotel probided us with earplugs so it was no problem afterall.

We had so nice time with wife in this Vila. Stuff very friendly. We became a friends, last evening we went to ABBA concert together. We felt like we at home. Also, we had so delicious breakfast and dinner!!! Thank you and recommend to come here! 5 Stars for sure!

beautiful place, nice pool, good furniture, good bed. breakfast was really nice and the staff was very kind.

the property does not have windows, also not in the room. it only has a screen against mosquitos. this means that you hear everything outside and also everything in the hotel. Also when people are just talking in the room next to you or in the kitchen or in the dining room. They offer earplugs but for me not enough for the noise.
