Myself and a few of our colleagues had the pleasure of visiting La Maison De Colombo last evening for an inspection visit, and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo, this peaceful boutique villa offers something truly unique, a touch of French elegance right in the heart of Sri Lanka. Owned by a team of passionate French directors with a background in hospitality, La Maison De Colombo is not just a place to stay, it’s a place to immerse yourself in French culture, cuisine, wine, and warm hospitality. The villa features seven well-appointed rooms in three distinct categories, each with its own charm and understated luxury. The interiors are a delightful blend of Sri Lankan craftsmanship and French design, the combination of local furniture with elegant French touches is beautifully done. Although our visit was short, it was made memorable thanks to Pascual, one of the directors. His deep knowledge of French wine, food, and culture, along with the stories he shared, added something truly special to the experience. I can only imagine how enriching it must be for guests staying longer and engaging in those personal conversations. The visit concluded with a beautifully poured glass of authentic French wine, paired with a platter of artisanal delicacies and a few perfectly crafted French sandwiches. It was the perfect way to end the evening refined, flavourful, and full of character. What’s more, the property welcomes outside guests who wish to indulge in a proper French dining experience, complete with carefully selected wines and champagnes. Whether you are a food lover, wine enthusiast, or simply looking to experience something different in Colombo, La Maison De Colombo is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. A big thank you to Nuwan, the operations manager, and the rest of the team for their warm hospitality. I still remember your champagne story; it added the perfect sparkle to the evening. Looking forward to returning soon to experience more of the French charm you have created here. Santé! 🍷
