View from the roof terrace

Mamas Galle Fort Roof Café and b & b at 76 Leyn Baan Street in the ancient citadel of Galle Fort, is close to the lighthouse, and two minutes on foot from the beach.

This beautifully restored mid nineteenth century Chinese shop house is run by a Singhalese Catholic: Jerome Perera and his Buddhist wife Malini.

There are two excellent air-conditioned suites, each of 40 square metres and two single rooms; all have fans. The house offers a dining hall and a ninety square metre roof terrace, with shade and views to the sea over palms and pan-tiled roofs. It is, in the not very humble opinion of Jean Louis Chasse Loup de L'Aubert ' far and away the best value in the fort '.

12 euros b & b single ensuite

25 euros b & b twin/double ensuite
