Sri Lanka

beautiful Sri Lanka contemporary architecture urban house designed by one of Bawa's students immersed in a gorgeous garden. The whole environment is just beautiful and talks to the contemporary fine Sri Lankan culture and art. The rooms designs are beautiful and with a great attention for details. The bed is very comfy. Teh house is immersed in a quiet environment with the sounds of nature. The breakfast, available on request, is just delicious and worth the experience. Located in a peaceful residential area but still central and at reach of the main landmarks, a stone's throw from Galle Road and the sea shore. The staff and owners are really friendly and helpful

You don't have to be a fan of the late and great Geoffrey Bawa to be enchanted by your stay at Home Number 11. It is a working museum to say the least. From the design to the art collection on every corner, the historical significance of the place is invaluable. Now if you happen to be a fan of the architect, then there is no greater privilege than staying at his home.

Australia

Beautiful property in a tranquil spot by the river, wonderful service and such friendly staff. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay more! We arrived early in the day and were offered breakfast and they were also able to have our room ready early, which was fantastic! Can't recommend Aathma Colombo House enough. We had a few hours exploring Colombo and it was quick to get to the city by Tuk Tuk.
