Nestled atop the highest point in the ancient port-city of Galle, at the Lady Hill you have a bird's eye view of the lush green tea plantations stretching down the mountains to meet the brilliant blue Indian Ocean. Close to some of the best beaches in the island and to the heart of Galle city but secluded enough to be relaxing and rejuvenating the Lady Hill is just what the discerning tourist and business traveler is looking for. Originally built more than a hundred years ago as a Vicarage of the Church of England this restored colonial building still retains its old world charm. The large open verandah, high ceiling and staircase, floor and ceiling of teak are all part of the architectural heritage of colonial Sri Lanka. Subtly blended with these features are all the modern comforts which a traveler looks for giving you the best of both worlds.
