Orchard House (Fort Villas)

''Orchard House'', This has four double bedrooms air conditioned (four poster beds) and lots of period antique furniture, sculptures and foliage. There is even a small swimming pool, a dining pavilion and a lotus pond in the small garden (this is one of the big houses among the small houses in the DUTCH FORT of GALLE) 2 min walk to the beach.

The Orchard House has four a/c bedrooms opening out to the central courtyard and garden. The ensuite bathrooms have h/w showers. Three double bedrooms are furnished with large four poster antique beds and one with twin beds. Rooms are also equipped with overhead fans. Orchard House – named after the villa’s enclosed gardens – has recently been renovated by a leading Australian designer. Enter through the unassuming main doorway to a spacious living area and a long courtyard full of lush greenery, which is the main focus of all the bedrooms. A pillared pavilion perfect for al fresco dining and a small swimming pool are located at the back of the property. White dominates this villa – corridors, pillars, and even floors are white with only the soft furnishings and ornaments adding vibrant colour. The villa is furnished with antique Dutch-period four-poster beds, Almairahs, tables and comfortable planters chairs – furniture that belongs in this historical setting.
