Sumptuously appointed, the villa is fully staffed to serve you. A peaceful haven free of the coastal railway noise of beachside villas, but close enough to enjoy all that Sri Lanka has to offer! Cassia Hill is a newly renovated, grand colonial-style villa designed by George Cooper of Kahanda Kanda fame. Tastefully decorated with an eclectic mix of vintage Raj-era and modern furnishings, the villa is nestled in a tropical garden on a hillside of tea and cinnamon with sweeping views, just 8 minutes from the coast. Enjoy sunset drinks on the sweeping verandah under lazily turning fans, or lounge in the infinity pool or hammock, to the sound of distant temple chants and the chattering of wildlife in the trees. Guests have full use of the main villa with 4 luxurious bedrooms and an attached villa with 2 smaller bedrooms and a living room. The main villa has an infinity pool and grand verandahs, and both villas are surrounded by a gardens with plants and trees. The villa is professionally staffed with an experienced butler, chef, groundskeeper, and security guards. In addition, the villa owners are western expats based in Colombo, and are only a phone call away. The villa is just outside a small village about 9 minutes from the coast, and 20-25 minutes from Galle Fort. Private, peaceful and secluded, but with easy access to the beaches, restaurants, and nightlife of Galle, Unawatune, Thalpe, Hikkaduwa, and Mirissa. The villa butler can easily call an autorickshaw for local trips, or if guests prefer, a Toyota Prius or Toyota Minivan (both with seatbelts) can be arranged for trips. The villa is equipped with broadband WiFi, large-screen plasma TV, multi-region DVD player with a library of films, satellite TV, and a Naim sound system with iPad music library. Plus we have classic board games if you want to go retro! For power outages, the property has a backup generator, and there is round-the-clock security.
