Exceptionally a wonderful facility, an old fashioned, well maintained house with an estate like feeling with same setting. The room and the attached bathroom was very spacious. Clean with comfortable beds. Me, my wife and my son had a comfortable and a memorable stay. The owner (Mr. Priya) and his wife were extremely friendly and hospitable. They provided hot and hot home cooked tasty breakfast, lovely tea and fresh fruit juices, so fresh that they were plucked from their own garden. The house is conveniently located and it takes about 5-10min to walk Galle Road where you can find a lot of amenities. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for accommodation in Moratuwa district or nearby.

Salgado Manore, as the name suggests would carry you back a couple of Century as you live like an aristocratic guest in this heritage home that has been preserved and tastefully decorated by those who have inherited it from their ancestors. You would almost feel that you are moving around in a living museum. Every nook and corner of the mansion and every black and white photo has a story to tell and it will make you aware of how the aristocrats lived in that era. To top it all, the hosts exceed all expectations in terms of hospitality. The guest room is impeccable just like the rest of the mansion, the morning breakfast is wholesome and delicious, morning and afternoon tea served in Bone China along with cake and ginger biscuit is legendary... While the lady of the house goes out to teach and influence young minds, the "young" Priya takes minute care of this mansion and all those who live in it, including you who are just there for a short while as their "AirBnB" guest. It is really hard to believe when Priya announces that he has already celebrated his 75th birthday, because he will put many youth to shame by the daily hectic schedule of activities he maintains from dawn to dusk through his "one-man show", taking care of the villa, cleaning up the place, doing laundry, getting provisions from the market, tending to the sprawling garden around the villa with fruiting trees and thousands of orchids, remnant of the hay days when he used to supply white and violet flowers for weddings and funerals in Colombo and surrounding towns. Priya will remind you that all that he is today is mainly because of the training he got as a planter in his youth. Being a former planter, he is well trained and disciplined, bubbling with ideas to keep himself busy, and that indeed is the secret of his youthfulness. Not to forget the manner in which tea is prepared and served, rivaling the often-talked of "tea ceremony" that the Japanese are famous for. Do not book your room at this place if you are in a hurry and are just looking for an accommodation. Decide to stay there if you want to rediscover the old-world charm, take time to visit the nearby church and temples where long-time dwellers of Moratuwa go to offer their prayers, walk in the lovely pathways recently created around the cleaned-up lagoons that attract variety of birds, sit on the seafront to witness the breaking of the dawn with splendid sunrise and listen to the waves breaking on the sandy beach. And do not feel guilty when you get pampered by the inheritors of this charming mansion who would do their best to humor you and make your stay very memorable. Be curious to learn about the history of the heritage house and the owners will open up and share with you many stories and anecdotes that will give flight to your imagination.

Salgado Manor situated very closely to the main road, where lots of shops are nearby. You can get to eating outlets, banks, supermarkets within a 5-minute walk. Priya will treat you as if you are part of his family. He himself and his beloved wife Indira will make tasty food for breakfast. If you are planning to come late in the night there is separate access to your room. The room has air conditioning which will allow you to sleep comfortably. The amenities which are mentioned will be provided inside the room, however, even if they are not there, you can request and under a few minutes, you will receive them. I recommend Salgado Manor very highly.
