Avis Beachside Villa, Private Chef, Pool, Tennis Court, WP, 3 Bedrooms AC

Très bien

We have stayed in the willa unfortunately only 1 week....what a shame! We traveled as 2+3 children and everything was just great, location, villa itself, our guide Rex and great cook Pushpa. Without them our stay would be just half experience. Rex showed us amazing places like Yala national park or even the trip around Wadduwa was unique experience. He is such a great person! Food was great as well, we had to take some recepies from Pushpa to try to cook some of the curry at home....although I don't think it will ever be the same. Not to forget all the stuff - they were all such friendly people. Villa + pool = just great. Dear Olof, I have to thank you for letting us stay in your villa, we will come back again for sure!

Dear Olof We all loved everything about our stay in your beautiful Villa Margarita Pushpa looked after our every need and cooked the most delicious meals that everyone including my 2 teenage children loved! The house & it’s stylish decor were spotless and downstairs floors kept clean throughout our stay. There were comfy sofas up and downstairs & the beds were the best I’ve ever slept on, all with mosquito nets. The bathrooms were spotless & had very good showers. In the early morning from our balcony, my husband and I loved to observe & listen to the stunning birds amongst the palms and beautiful foliage in the garden surrounding the villa. Another gem we witnessed was the local fishermen pulling in their catch a few hundred yards along the beach, early one morning. We enjoyed playing tennis on the excellent court and swam in the large pool several times a day. My only regret was that we didn’t stay longer at your property, as being an artist I would love to have had time to to paint the fishermen sea & gardens. Our first couple of days were a bit grey so the light hadn’t been conducive to painting. The day we left the sky was blue & the light was perfect for painting! I took plenty of photographs so have material for working from but it is not the same as painting on location. If you would like to see any of the photos I took just let me know & I’d be happy to share them with you. On our last afternoon Monica the elephant paid us a visit while we were in the sea. The children were thrilled and both rode on her back while she walked along the beach. Thank you so much for letting out your beautiful home We hope to be back again one day. With warmest wishes Liz, Jag, Maya, Oliver, Monica & Arthur DeAlwis

This is a perfect place to go for a getaway. The pool is immaculately maintained, and you are steps away from the beach. We watched fishermen hauling in their catch each morning, drank coconut water from freshly-picked coconuts, and had amazing meals prepared by Pushpa each day. Rex took us on interesting and noteworthy day trips around Wadduwa and shared his insights on all things Sri Lanka. This is truly a place to relax and unwind, listen to the ocean, and forget your troubles.

We stayed for a week with our family my wife and kids plus the grandparents and had the most relaxing and fun holiday! The house was perfect with plenty of space for us all and very comfortable indeed. The gardens were beautifuly looked after and the pool was immaculate! We enjoyed this so much! We played Tennis a few times as well despite the rains causing a few tricky patches on court!! Now to the best part! Pushpa was truly wonderful! such a lovely person who took care of the house and most importantly the exquisite food she prepared for us was a highlight of our stay! Thank you ! I must also mention the invaluable Rex of course he was always on hand to answer any questions and he took us out on some great adventures and in who’s company we felt very safe. Nothing was a problem for Rex! Thanks We would all love to come back in the future!

We were lucky enough to have only two of the four residences in this beautiful development occupied. This gave our house an extra special air of exclusivity. How can anyone not love waking up to overlook beautiful gardens, an enticing pool and the sea beyond. Add to this the care of Pushpa the housekeeper and chef who ensures you enjoy the best of Sri Lanka’s food delights, whether for breakfast or an evening meal. She allows you to have a real self indulgent experience. The sea is a delight - extensive beach which is kept relatively litter free for Sri Lanka and a sandy shore that makes plunging into the waves a joy. The waves are not big enough for surfing and there can be an undertow but hey, lovely warm water to frolic in is wonderful. Whilst local transport (tuk tuk) is easy and cheap the local sights are somewhat limited and there is a dearth of the usual local restaurants. This does not detract from the joys of your “home” at the villa itself. We would have liked better bed linen and towels but this was more than offset by a house that works! The shower is excellent, the bed comfortable and the furniture in good condition. There are books and dvds and generally you are at home in this lovely property. Then there is the tennis court - it has its limitations but it is an excellent facility to work off those self inflicted extra pounds. The court is set within the flower surrounded ‘compound’ which is not just 24hr. guarded but cared for in the very best fashion. As a well travelled couple we can only recommend Villa Margareta as an excellent relaxing holiday venue.

We spent a week at the beginning of November relaxing at Villa Margareta. We were thoroughly spoilt by Pushpa's wonderful cooking and Rex was a fantastic guide around the small part of the island which we had time to explore. We were lucky with the weather and had 4 beautiful days by the swimming pool and on the beach. Thank you Olof for creating an excellent holiday destination and we hope to return soon!

Spacious, smart and relaxing Villa. Brilliantly helpful staff. Excellent food!
