We really enjoyed our stay at villa Ad Astra,the staff were kind and thoughtful making us feel at home. Our hosts were helpful when booking the villa answering any queries and the villa is set in beautiful grounds near the beach.We would definitely recommend staying here.

We came to Sri Lanka to visit extended family. We had a wonderful trip at Jan’s villa. The home was absolutely amazing and so comfortable. The staff were incredible and so kind and thoughtful. Our kids had an amazing time swimming in the pool, playing at the beach, and going on adventures nearby to see the sea turtles and other nearby attractions / family in town. Thank you so much for sharing your vacation home with us. We had an incredible time.

We stayed at villa ad Astra for a stay with our 1 year old baby. The whole stay was absolutely perfect, the manager Nilanga and the staff at the property were so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. As a family we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. Before we arrived we communicated with the organisers and the communication was prompt and very helpful. Everything was catered for. Thank you so much for making our stay perfect!

The villa was spacious, clean and comfortable with an amazing pool and gardens. We stayed here for 5 nights and were very well looked after by the manager of the property and the ladies who were there to cook meals if needed. The food cooked for us was the best that we had during our two week stay in Sri Lanka! Communications with the owners while booking our stay were so easy and pleasant. We would highly recommend this villa for a relaxing stay in this part of the country.

We enjoyed seven days at this wonderful villa. It's not far from Colombo airport (about an hour), which makes it perfect from a short or long break. It's extremely clean, the rooms are large and the staff are brilliant - very friendly and helpful. The food was also great, as was the big shared pool. The best part was waking up every morning to hear the waves crash on the shore. We'll be back!

We stayed here for the 4th time and Jan's House is just a little paradise. After the bad news of Colombo we changed our plans and travelled back to the house and can say that this is one of the safest places you could stay at. As always Thilak and his crew were looking after us greatly and the food was fantastic. The house is since 8 years in the same good shape and with the spacious pool and awesome sea views you cannot wish for more. Thank you Jan for having us stay at this wonderful oasis.

A lovely house that is spacious, comfortable and clean. Thilak and his team were excellent, provided delicious meals and catered quietly and efficiently to our every need. The outside area and pool are equally lovely. Galle, the tsunami museum and sea turtles are all worth visiting. Good supermarket in the village. There are better beaches in Sri Lanka so probably not the place if you want a beach stay but otherwise I would highly recommend this place.

We have just returned from Villa Ad Astra and had an amazing holiday at this property which is quite beautiful. The villa is very spacious and extremely comfortable, the grounds are really well-maintained and the pool is just wonderful, with the beach just beyond. We were so well-looked after, fantastic service from the team there. Beyond the villa (if you can tear yourself away), we cannot recommend Sri Lanka highly enough as a destination - lovely people, so much to see and do with interesting cities, wonderful wild/birdlife and beautiful/varied landscape. We will be back!

This was our third stay at Villa Ad Astra and it felt like coming home. The service of Thilak and his staff is excellent. The house is decorated with taste and the furniture is of very good quality. The pool is huge and cleaned everyday. Furthermore the property is very safe being surrounded by a wall and having 24hr security. It is an aussum place if you are looking for a place with lots of privacy, space and very friendly staff. It is like in a hotel but 1000x better. We feel very happy to be able to spend our holidays in such a paradise. Thank you!

We came here straight from a long flight from the UK and had 3 nights with our 3 children age 6, 8 and 11... And it was incredible! I wish we could have stayed here longer and as soon as we were there, we stated to think about when we could come back! There was so much space in the villa, the kids loved the pool, the beach was epic and so quiet.... And the care and attention of he staff, chef and security is on another level! It is the perfect location to come with a family, and we would love to come back with other family's renting a couple of the villas that share the space. Our chef was so kind and thoughtful, and it was a huge comfort to have the security and fence around the property, as it meant we could relax with the kids having some freedom and space. Absolutely loved it! Thank you!

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful villa for 3 weeks July/aug2016. The pictures really don't do it justice....I do not normally bother to write a review once home. The chef/manager was on hand to help with anything...phone sims, advice on travel and receipes .... My husband being a keen cook intended to cook with him but was so impressed decided against. The grounds are large and only one of the other villas was ever rented out....but the pool is plenty big enough to share tho we only shared it on a couple of occasions. The grounds are constantly being groomed and the beach(sandy) really is only through the gate. It is a place to relax and chill and be waited on...literally. There are only a few bars in neighbouring hotels to walk to....so if you are looking for lots of night life this is not the right location. We used it as a base and did a couple of 2 day trips around the island, drivers can be arranged at a reasonable price. We also used the trains which were much quicker and cheaper to travel around. We felt very safe all holiday and the owner was very courteous and helpful in the booking process. We would recommend this villa and country to anyone considering it.

Villa Ad Astra is set in beautiful gardens overlooking the beach and is the perfect place to relax and be well cared for by Nilanga the site manager who was also our careful driver and Deepika and her team who cooked the most wonderful meals, so much so we didn’t want to go out and try the local restaurants.We would highly recommend a stay here.

Wir durften in diesen wundervollen zwei Villen insgesamt 12 unvergessliche Tage verbringen. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist einfach traumhaft, die Sonnenuntergänge sind unglaublich. Die Anlage mit insgesamt vier Häusern ist perfekt gepflegt und herrlich schattig und sonnig zugleich. Es gibt einen weitläufigen Garten mit großen Palmen der bis zum Strand reicht. Es ist alles eingezäunt, den Strand erreicht man über eine Türe, die nachts abgesperrt wird. Es gibt einen Sicherheitsdienst, der 24 Stunden vor Ort ist. Das leise Rauschen des Meeres, die herrliche Natur sowie die Tiere vermissen wir jetzt schon! Der Pool ist riesig - wir hatten ihn bis auf zwei Tage komplett für uns allein. Ein absoluter Traum! Der Strand ist eigentlich recht sauber - ja, die Flut spült etwas Müll an, aber wir haben schon viel schlimmeres gesehen. Die Wellen waren teilweise recht groß, trotzdem konnten wir an ein paar Tagen mit den Kindern ins Meer. Den Sonnenuntergang genießen auch die einheimischen Familien am Strand - die Singhalesen sind extrem freundliche, offenherzige Menschen. So waren die drei Frauen, Deepika, Sumana und Nirosha, die uns täglich mit unglaublich leckeren Gerichten bekocht haben auch das absolute Highlight! Nochmal ganz herzlichen Dank - so viel Aufmerksamkeit und Herzlichkeit ist sehr selten! Auch die beiden Manager, Nilanga und Rex, sowie unsere Fahrer (Indy und Susante) waren extrem hilfreich und immer für uns da. Danke für eine wundervolle Zeit! Absolute Empfehlung!

Villa AD Astra Erstmal die guten Dinge: Großes Haus mit Personal. Das Personal ist Top. Wenn man Lebensmittel einkauft, wird auch Abends gekocht! Das Zimmer wird jeden Tag sauber gemacht. Der Pool ist sehr groß und die Anlage ebenfalls. Beides sehr sauber. Das Haus liegt direkt an einem tollen Sandstrand der öffentlich ist. Wenn man Waschmittel kauft wird auch die Wäsche gewaschen und zusammen gelegt. Nilanga der Manager hilft wo er kann. Tuk Tuk‘s bekommt man an jeder Stelle. Aber einfacher mit Pick Me. Einkaufen kann man auch gut. Negativ: Leider ist es auch sehr laut wenn alle Villen ( 4 )belegt sind. Wir hatten einmal Kindertheater am Pool und dann junge Leute die Party gemacht haben. Unglaublich 8 junge Leute denen alles egal ist. Trinken im Pool obwohl es verboten ist. Ein Surfbrett das immer im Pool gelassen wird. Das Frühstück kostete 5 Dollar pro Person. Nicht wirklich günstig. 20 Dollar bei 4 Personen jeden Tag….. Das Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen und müsste dringend renoviert werden. Der Tennisplatz ist auch in keinem so guten Zustand. Abends ging nur ein Strahler, daher war dannkein Spielen möglich. Leider hatten wir auch mehrere große Schaben in Haus. Zwei Häuser weiter ist eine Hunde Auffangstation. Daher Gebelle morgens und Abends. Die Bahnstrecke ist ebenfalls sehr nah hinter den Häusern. Man hört tatsächlich jeden Zug. Alles in allem war der Urlaub trotzdem schön. Das nächste Mal würde ich allerdings ein einzelnes Haus mieten, nicht eins von vier.

Die Villa ist wunderschön, sehr gut gepflegt und durch die direkte Lage am Meer ein absoluter Traum! Das Meeresrauschen, die leichte Brise, die Sonnenuntergänge- wir sind verzaubert. Der Garten ist herrlich schattig und der Pool ein absoluter Genuss. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter läuft unkompliziert und zuverlässig. Thilak ist die gute Seele des Anwesens, liest jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab und ist ein Goldstück! Vielen Dank - wir kommen gerne wieder : )

A beautiful villa, in a wonderful location with amazing grounds, which are well maintained by a the gardening team, a fabulous pool and lovely tennis court. The house staff keep the house immaculate and cater for your every need. We stayed here for 4 weeks in July and used this villa as a base to explore. We enjoyed trips to Yala National Park, whale watching, turtle hatchery, temples, boat trips, Columbo, Galle and even managed to watch some test match cricket in Galle. We enjoyed many lovely strolls along the beach and enjoyed chatting to the locals. The nearest station is 10 mins walk away so we took advantage of the super rail system on some of our trips and other times we used a driver called Indy who was very knowledgable and a very safe driver. Our hosts were helpful with all our questions and queries. Thank you Jan and Agneta for sharing your beautiful home.

We would like to thank you for our stay in your beautiful house. Very relaxing, we took pleasure in sitting on the terrace or reading near the pool. Thilak and the 2 women prepared us good dishes according to our tastes. Also very good pancakes for my children. I will recommend this address to some of my friends and hope to come again in the future Marie-Christine, Philippe from FRANCE
