Galle
2nd March, 5.00pm
Doornberg has been called the most beautiful house in Galle. It sits atop Richmond Hill with a panorama that takes in the views of the historic UNESCO World Heritage Galle Fort and the Indian Ocean beyond.
The home, with its hilltop position that takes advantage of the sea breezes, is set within an acre of lawn and garden that includes a secluded pool area. In addition to the great room and library, the house contains four luxury suites each with independent access to the garden.
The house is furnished with a mix of Dutch colonial and contemporary pieces, set against a collection of art from both Sri Lankan and International artists.
