villa ovita

Een heel fijn verblijf gehad in een rustige omgeving op loopafstand (10 min.) van een paar restaurantjes aan de doorgaande weg Vanaf daar ook goede busverbinding. Strandjes op resp. 10 tot 25 min. lopen. Ik heb gebruik gemaakt van een fiets, wat iets meer vrijheid geeft. De cabaña is sfeervol ingericht: er is aandacht besteed aan details Het is omgeven door groen en je ziet verschillende vogels, paar eekhoorns en er scharrelen kippen rond. Foto's op site geven goed weer hoe het eruit ziet. Voorzien van o.a. airco en klamboe, een heerlijke 'spa-douche' en gebruik van de keuken (in bijgebouw). Goed verzorgd en heerlijk ontbijt.

Niets

Our host went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. The gardens are stunning and the breakfast was incredible.

Uniqueness of design

Villa ovita constantly scores a 10 and there is a reason why, Damith, the owner has poured his heart and soul into to the place. It’s absolutely beautiful. I saw both properties and if anything they are better than the photos. There are thoughtful touches everywhere. Delicious breakfasts. Damith is so kind and helpful and works so hard. We felt very looked after. I feel lucky to have stayed at Villa ovita and experience such wonderful hospitality.

Eine mehr als außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Wir hatten einige schöne Unterkünfte auf Sri Lanka, aber diese hat durch ihre Einzigartigkeit alles getoppt. Man fühlt sich, als wohne man mittem im Dschungel. Das Bad mit freistehende Badewanne ist Hammer. Am Morgen beim leckeren Frühstück nach Sri Lanka-Art kann man Vögel und Streifenhörnchen beim Fressen beobachten. Der Gastgeber ist auch super freundlich und spricht gute Englisch. Absolute Empfehlung.

Spacious, clean, great bathroom! Private verandah.

Just slighlty too far from the beach and amenities such as supermarkets but it’s manageable.

Absolutely exceptional - I have been fortunate enough to travel to 34 countries and this will honestly be one of, if not the most memorable places I’ve ever been. Incredible host, super tasty breakfast and a beautiful location nestled in what feels like the jungle, while also being minutes away from the beach. I also loved the local feel of the area the accommodation is located. Would highly recommend and would love to return.

The best place we've ever been. The apartment is in paradise, with animals like birds, squirrels. The breakfast is amazing, the host is so friendly, you can feel like you are at home. I can't imagine how could anyone rate this place lower than maximum! Thank you for these 3 days, and Happy Birthday for your cute girl!

Our stay at this place was wonderful. The property is extremely aesthetic, everything is done with great taste, and the overall atmosphere is excellent. The water was hot and flowed well, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and there were also ceiling fans. The design and details throughout the place are elegant and thoughtfully arranged. The breakfast was varied and delicious, and the host made a genuine effort to adapt it to our personal tastes, which we appreciated very much. The host, Damith, was kind and pleasant, very helpful with anything we needed, and also someone you can talk with and learn from about Sri Lanka and the surroundings. The garden is truly exceptional, with a swing among the trees and various animals around that did not disturb at all, but rather enhanced the beauty and peacefulness of the environment. The place is located in a pleasant neighborhood that can be easily reached on foot from the main road. For those wondering what to do in Talpe, this location is highly recommended. It is about 30 km from Galle, which can be easily reached by train, tuk-tuk, or bus from the main road. In addition, there are small, undeveloped beaches nearby where giant turtles swim, and the area is not crowded with tourists.

It was very quiet and with beautiful surroundings the owner was very helpful and the breakfast was fantastic. Great place to unwind

Extremely super relaxed place

Our stay at Villa Ovita was truly exceptional, and Damith is the best host one could ever ask for. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The property itself was stunning, cozy interiors decorated with elegant little details that made it so inviting we hardly wanted to leave. The front yard was equally charming, like something out of a mystical woodland fairytale. By coincidence, we stayed during Damith’s birthday, and he and his lovely wife prepared a special birthday lunch at their home. On our last night, Damith even made us a special dinner, and throughout our stay his breakfasts were so delicious and different every single day! If you’re considering booking this villa, don’t hesitate. We will definitely be returning and recommending Villa Ovita to everyone.

Very good place

Damith heeft 2 prachtige huisjes op zijn terrein in een rustige, natuurlijke omgeving. Het is allemaal met heel veel zorg en oog voor detail gebouwd en ingericht. Wij hadden met ons gezin het grootste huisje dat ook een buitenkeukentje heeft en een zitplaats voor het huisje waar je zo de natuur in kijkt. De eekhoorntjes zie je voorbij rennen en je ziet ook mooie vogels. Beneden en boven 2 prima bedden, op beide verdiepingen airco. Hele sfeervolle badkamer met een heerlijke waterval douche. Het ontbijt is ofwel srilankaans (stringhoppers met dhal) en fruit en sap en koffie/thee of eieren met brood en jam en fruit. Damith is goed bereikbaar via WhatsApp als je tussendoor vragen hebt. De lokatie ligt een stukje van de hoofdweg af (loopafstand) en van daaruit zijn makkelijk bussen en tuktuks te krijgen. Wij gingen tussendoor even aan t strand chillen bij het vlakbij gelegen Moi (met klein zwembadje) en zaten ook heerlijk bij Shanti Shanti (beide op loopafstand). De Rasta rope swing is een van de toffere schommels (voor een klein bedrag).We pakten de bus naar Galle. De Natural pools zijn op een kwartier lopen, wij namen niet de route langs de wegen, maar gingen binnendoor, leuk.

Ik kan niks bedenken wat tegenviel. Het was echt een hele fijne accomodatie.Wat het nóg beter zou kunnen maken misschien is een eigen koelkastje bij de buitenkeuken, maar wij konden zonder probleem gebruik maken van de koelkast van de keuken van Damith.

Villa Ovita est très bien située, et l’endroit est enchanteur. Le chalet est de très belle qualité, la décoration est magnifique, et tout est très confortable pour un voyage avec un enfant. L’environnement est fabuleux, nous pouvions voir la forêt depuis nos fenêtres et la terrasse où nous prenions le petit déjeuner, qui est délicieux et magnifique, donne également sur la nature luxuriante. C’est une chance de passer quelques jours au calme, avec seulement le bruit des oiseaux et de la nature. Damith le propriétaire, est très accueillant, aux petits soins et donne de très bonnes recommandations pour le voyage, les repas et les expériences. Il nous a organisé des massages directement à la Villa, et tout est fait pour se sentir bien. Merci beaucoup !

The moment we stepped in, we were struck by how beautifully and thoughtfully Villa Ovita is decorated—every corner felt both stylish and inviting. The rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the little extras that made our stay effortless. Our host was exceptional: super friendly, genuinely welcoming, and always attentive to our needs.

Sadly we stayed only one night. This place is a wonderful oasis with plants and animals. From the balcony or the terrace you can watch a lot of birds and palms squirrels jumping around. The place is wonderful decorated and the host is super friendly and welcoming. We definitely recommend to start here.

Disclaimer: as a courtesy of our host we were offered a stay in another accommodation, a villa called Wild Kiss. Essentially it is another villa located on the same territory as Villa Ovita. So the following review applies to our overall stay regardless of the facility (Villa Ovita or Wild Kiss). A lovely spot The place itself looks like a cozy oasis in the jungle: apart from a place to stay you get the beautiful garden with blooming flowers and trees, as well as peculiar herbs and spices that the host uses for cooking a breakfast. From the garden you can see some wild animals like parrots, squirrels, as well as geese and a lovely dog that live within the property. The villa is a quite place isolated from the main roads which is perfect if you need some peace. However it's only a 5min bike ride to the nearest coast, and all the restaurants are within 10 minutes reach. The Wild Kiss villa was beyond amazing in terms of design and convenience: everything is brand new, beautifully made. You get everything you need - from wifi and AC to cute fancy bathrobes 😌 Super amazing host We got the warmest welcome possible from the first minutes: despite arriving super late (around 1am), Damith, the host, offered us a home made refreshment drink and showed us around. My legs were super hurting after a long tour around the island so Damith organized for us a masseur visit right on the villa for the price cheaper than it would be in the salon Damith also arranged us a bike rental for the price and quality better than we previously got in Hikkaduwa. Food (obviously) The breakfasts were a true reason to start a day: every day a new dish, home cooked, with a plate of fresh fruit and fresh juice. Yum!

Fantastic Birdlife.

In a quiet location but only 10 mins from the beach, with lovely grounds. Accommodation is beautifully designed and carefully thought out. Danaith, our host was most welcoming and was available to help with transport and any other questions. Great breakfasts and Danaith not only arranged a massage for us, him and his wife cooked us a fantastic meal one evening. Highly recommended.

This was easily one of the loveliest places we’ve ever stayed, made even more special by Damith—the kindest, most hospitable host! When my husband and I stumbled upon this place, we knew it would be the perfect getaway for our anniversary trip. It looks exactly like the pictures—tucked away in lush greenery, down a quiet little alley in Talpe. You’d never expect a spot this peaceful, surrounded by nature, to be so close to the beach! We walked everywhere, and whenever we wanted to venture further, Damith helped us find a reliable tuk-tuk driver. Speaking of Damith—when I mentioned it was our anniversary, he messaged saying he would “arrange something.” We arrived to find the hut where breakfast is served decorated with balloons wishing us a happy anniversary! He even got us a cake to celebrate, which made our trip feel even more special. And the breakfasts he whips up every morning? Incredible. From traditional Sri Lankan dishes like egg hoppers to continental options, everything was delicious. My favorite was his omelets—I looked forward to them every morning. There’s also another villa right next to this one, which Damith had just opened in December 2024. We got a chance to take a look, and it’s absolute perfection as well! We always love staying in places like this—ones created with love by the locals themselves. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing stay, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Breakfast was varied and delicious. Location was perfect, close enough to the beach but away from the main road. Seeing a troop of monkeys in the garden a bonus !

Damith is such a kind host and always willing to help you enjoy your trip. I found the Cabana comfortable and clean and the bed was great. My favorite thing, however, were the gigantic breakfasts that Damith makes every morning. So filling that I rarely had to eat lunch!

N/A, all good

There are two rabbits, two ducks and a dog to guard the place. If you are the nature lover, this place is for you to stay in. It has air conditioning and a fan.

None

Villa Ovita is easily reached from Talpe railway station and Damith was waiting for us at the gate. It is a private jardin with a beautiful and calm atmosphere, and if you enjoy quietness and simplicity, this is your place to stay in Talpe. Damith took perfect care of us and even provided us some bicycles when needed. A big plus is all the animals wandering around the jardin and Romi-dog taking care of the security!

This little paradise was probably the most beautiful accommodation we have ever had on our countless trips. The owner, Damith, has lovingly planted and decorated the entire property, from the house to the garden, so that you can only feel at home. It was also great for us to have the lovely dog Romi and his ducks and rabbits around us. We were greeted with a delicious drink and the breakfast was absolutely outstanding. Even after a month in Sri Lanka, he was still able to surprise us with new delicacies. The house itself is fantastic, the bed very comfortable and we really liked the bathroom with the waterfall shower. This accommodation is something for anyone who doesn't like staying in hotels and appreciates peace and privacy, which you have plenty of here. The fantastic Thalpe beach is a five-minute walk away. Here, too, you can unwind and hardly any tourists find their way here. Instead, you can watch the locals fishing and relaxing. There are also plenty of good restaurants here for a delicious meal in the evening. This accommodation is something special and we can only recommend it to everyone.

This place is amazing. Perfect place for a calm and peaceful holiday. Close to Talpe Beach. The owner of this place was very friendly and very supportive. Helped a lot to make our vacation a great one. We got the whole cottage with a kitchen and a beautiful garden. Had a lovely dinner in this perfect garden with a great vibe. Even the owner joined us to share his knowledge and insight with us on our invite to the dinner table, Which was a great discussion indeed. Had a great tasty breakfast in the morning as well. Loved the stay and recommend this place to everyone who looking for a peaceful, calm holiday with good vibes 😁😍😍😍

It's very clean and very comfortable. Value for money. Privacy is perfect. Owner is very friendly and helpful. I'm highly recommend this place.

Very nice place, I have no words for the service you did for us, you are very kind.🙌🏻

Very nice owner who was great to talk to! Ducks and atmosphere :)

A very nice and warm welcome by Damith (the host). Really enjoyed the fairytale house with comfortable bed and nice shower. I am in love with the plant in the bathroom. Everything is very well maintained, clean and furnished with an eye for detail. At night I felt safe because of the sweet dog that lay in front of my door. During the tasty breakfast, colorful birds and squirrels visited the beautiful garden. The spectacle of the chattering ducks was very amusing to watch. Recently there have also been bunnies jumping around in the garden, but unfortunately I had to miss them. The environment was so pleasant and relaxing that I secretly didn't want to go out. The fear that I might miss something was just a little stronger. The host arranged a bicycle for me and I cycled to Unawatuna (15 minutes) & Galle (30 minutes). There is also a nice beach just a 5-minute bike ride away.

No complaints. Everything was superb! If you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle, relax and be pampered, look no further!

Our stay at Villa Ovita was exceptional! The cozy atmosphere, impeccable service, and attention to detail made it a truly enjoyable experience. Appreciated every moment of the well-provided amenities. Highly recommended!

Nothing..!! Everything was great

Wonderful place🤩.... Pictures don't do justice...Very nice eco-system with lovely pets...worth the price..

Everything Nice welcoming Special breakfast Kind host Everything you need

One of best villa I have ever visited. A best place for couples to have their privacy. And the surrounding was very beautiful and the way they treated us was soo good. Enjoyed alot, loved the place ❤️

Breakfast was exceptional and the place lovely

This place is not just any bed and breakfast, it's creatively thought through space that offers comfort, privacy and many unique details to hang your eyes on. Beautiful design and concept, privacy and availability of the outdoor kitchen for the long term staying guests. Garden with ducks accompaning your stay and a very friendly dog. It was our last night before returning to Europe and we wanted to be somewhere surrounded by nature in the south coast. We didn't want to worry about where to get our meals from and the host ensured that our stay met all our requirements. Thank you, Daminth for making our stay unforgetable!
