Gaby Buchta - Founder

Our Founder's Story

“Gaby, an adventurous woman from Germany, had a strong love for Italian food and exploring new places. She moved to the serene Talalla in Sri Lanka and built a beautiful hotel named “Garden Villa” near the charming Talalla beach.

Gaby was not only the founder but also a skilled Italian chef, passionately crafting mouthwatering Italian dishes at the hotel. The hotel was surrounded by lush greenery, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Italy. Gaby’s dedication to using genuine Italian ingredients made every dish and drink truly authentic.

Garden Villa transformed from a tranquil getaway into a place where Gaby’s passion for Italian cuisine transcended borders. It became a space where people who shared her love for Italian food could connect, blending cultures and flavors in a serene haven by the Talalla beach.”

Лучшее место для настоящего отдыха ☺Это тихое, уютное и прекрасное место. комната - большая и удобная, отличная кровать, полотенца в нужном количестве, что не часто бывает на Шри Ланке. вся сантехника отлично работает, большое количество розеток, есть шкаф, где удобно разложить вещи, если вы приехали на несколько дней. Есть средство от москитов и фумигатор. В номере и на территории очень чисто. До океана идти около трех минут. отличный пляж с пологими волнами, подойдёт для детей. На пляже есть ресторанчики, но хозяйка Габи готовит намного лучше. Насладитесь вкусным завтраком и великолепным ужином в компании друзей. Обязательно попробуйте коктейли- они классные. Габи и Чанака - прекрасные, радушные хозяева. Они спасли нас в очень сложной ситуации. Мы всем рекомендуем этот уютный дом, оставайтесь обязательно на несколько дней, чтобы по настоящему насладиться отдыхом и общением. It is a quiet, cozy and wonderful place. the room is large and comfortable, a great bed, towels in the right amount, which is not often the case in Sri Lanka. all plumbing works perfectly, a large number of outlets, there is a closet where it is convenient to put things if you come for a few days. There is a mosquito repellent and a fumigator. The room and the grounds are very clean. It takes about three minutes to walk to the ocean. a great beach with gentle waves, suitable for children. There are restaurants on the beach, but the hostess Gabi cooks much better. Enjoy a delicious breakfast and a great dinner with friends. Be sure to try cocktails - they are cool. Gabi and Chanaka are wonderful, welcoming hosts. They saved us in a very difficult situation. We recommend this cozy house to everyone, be sure to stay for a few days to really enjoy your vacation and socializing.

Unfogettable! ☺ It was like a little paradise with a powerful story of the owner & founder Gabby. I feel grateful I could have stayed there and meet Gabby & Chanaka. My room was very very clean, which is something you truly appreciate while in Asia and my bed was huge and always decorated so nicely! Gabby prepares the most delicious spaghetti bolognese! But what makes this place a real gem is her story - it's part of the genius loci! Danke schoen, Gabby!

☺Die Unterkunft war nur ca. 100m vom sehr schönen Strand entfernt. Unterkunft und Raum war sehr sauber. Sehr leckeres Frühstück (hatten 2x europäisch) und toll angerichtete Fruchtplatte. Gaby und ihr Team sind sehr freundlich und helfen gerne weiter (Fahrer organisiert, Restaurant Tipps, etc.). Die Hunde von Gaby sind sehr lieb und kuschelbedürftig 😉 ☹Wir hatten die Nächte versehentlich ohne Klimaanlage gebucht und fanden den Aufpreis für die einzelne Nutzung verhältnismäßig hoch und haben daher lieber geschwitzt.

Wonderful stay at Garden Villa ☺ We spent 4 nights at Garden Villa and had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend the place! It's a nice and relaxing small B&B hotel. We booked the room at the ground floor with garden view - the room was spacious, very clean, with super comfortbale bed, and reasonbley priced mini bar fridge. Very good location: 2 minutes walk to Talalla Beach, and there are few nice restuarants nearby. Tasty breakfest including fresh fruits, eggs, toasts, and great Italian coffee was included in our rate. There is an option to request Sir Lankan breakfest which was superb too. Gaby, the host, (and two wonderful dogs) are always there to help and to make sure the stay is perfect. Amazing quality and great value for money.

☺Zum Abschluss unseren Urlaubs in Sri Lanka wollten wir die letzten Tage an einem schönen und ruhigen Strand verbringen und genau diese Anforderungen hatten wir an unsere letzte Unterkunft. Unsere Erwartungen wurden hier nicht erfüllt sondern übertroffen. Alles hier ist perfekt: die Lage, die Menschen, unser Zimmer mit einem sehr bequemen Bett, einer Luxus-Dusche, Balkon mit Aussicht in den schönen und gemütlichen Garten. Es ist ruhig und idyllisch hier. Das Meer kann man vom Balkon aus hören. Zum Strand selbst sind es max 2 Gehminuten. Der Strand ist auch sehr schön- weit und fast einsam. Direkt am Eingang zum Strand gibt ist das Restaurant "Happy Banana". Hier kann man sehr, sehr lecker nicht nur Fisch essen. Wir waren überaus zufrieden mit der Unterkunft, der Lage und dem Strand. Auch die Massage in der Unterkunft ist sehr empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank für alles an das gesamte Team Garden Villa! ☹Alles war perfekt 🌞

☺Вилла расположена хоть и не на первой линии, но очень близко к пляжу, идти по тихой улочке ровно минуту, ходили прямо в купальниках, это вообще не напрягало. Сам пляж широкий и безлюдный, хороший вход в море, без камней, можно поплавать спокойно. Вилла находится на тихой улочке, очень приятное место. Сама вилла поразила чистотой, ухоженностью. На Шри-Ланке с чистотой и уборкой номеров проблемы, всего в этой поездке останавливались в 6 отелях, эта вилла была самой лучшей, хотя и далеко не самой дорогой. В номере есть всё, идеальная чистота. Номер огромный. Стол, стулья, много места разложить вещи, сидения и столик на балконе, есть место для сушки одежды, холодильник, фен. Хоть мы и оставались всего на 2 ночи, так как путешествовали по разным местам, уборку номера всё равно делали, а чистота для меня важнее всего. Хозяйка Габи очень доброжелательная, помогала нам с организацией дайвинга, с обменом валюты и вообще во всём!!! Завтраки сытные и вкусные, также я попробовала ланкийский завтрак, Габи рассказала, как правильно есть, в целом вкусно, хоть и остро для меня. В общем, замечательное место, остановились бы с удовольствием еще раз здесь) ☹Все понравилось. Когда закончат с ремонтом террасы наверху, будет вообще супер.

Ein schönes familiäres Haus mit 6 Gästezimmern in einer idyllischen Bucht, die zum Schwimmen einlädt ☺Garden Villa liegt etwa 100 Meter vom Strand entfernt in einer kleinen ruhigen Stichstraße. Die Zimmer sind außergewöhnlich groß, Bad und Balkon auch, die Möblierung ist gut. Der Garten ist ein kleines Tropenparadies.

Hotel acogedor y diferente Mi puntuación no ha podido ser otra....un merecido 10 frente a la competencia de otros hoteles que te ofrecen piscina. Aquí no es necesario porque te levantas y te caes en una de las mejores playas de Sri Lanka. Habitaciones super amplias y renovadas con una decoración exquisita y temáticas. Para obligatoría en calidad precio si no quieres dar lugar a el abuso de los resorts. Sin olvidar a sus dos maravillosos labradores que son un autentico amor de perritos. Eternamente agradecidos Gabi por enseñarnos tanto. Te deseamos la mayor de las suertes del mundo.

Kleine familiäre Anlage nur 100m vom Strand entfernt Gaby ist eine sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, die einem gerne auch mit Tipps weiterhilft. Die Zimmer entsprechen deutschem/europäischem Standard, sind modern ausgestattet und sogar die Steckdosen sind ohne Adapter nutzbar 🙂 Ihr Hotel Manager kommt aus der Umgebung und steht ebenfalls mit Ratschlägen und Reisetipps zur Verfügung - wir haben Dank ihm mehrere einheimische Tipps abgeklappert! 🙂 Gaby hat eine große italienische Kaffemaschine - eine wahre Rarität hier auf Sri Lanka! Nicht zu vergessen, die beiden herzensguten Hunde, die stets Zuneigung suchen und bekommen. Während unserem Aufenthalt gab es immer wieder Stromausfälle, da die Regierung die Versorgung nicht sicherstellen kann... Gaby und ihr Team haben ihr bestes gegeben, um unseren Aufenthalt trotzdem so angenehm wie möglich zu machen!

Best guest house in Sri Lanka I had such a lovely stay in garden villa. Gabby was such a fantastic host. In the 3 weeks I stayed in Sri Lanka this was the nicest and cleanest accommodation I stayed in also fantastic value for money. Only a stones throw from the beach and two lovely welcoming labradors to greet you every time you came in through the gate. I will definitely be returning to this place. Thank you Gabby for making it such a special stay.

An oasis for so many reasons We absolutely loved our stay at a Garden Villa. We had a very warm welcome from owners Gabby and Chanaka, they were fantastic hosts and Gabby’s story of how she came to be in a Talalla was incredible. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed. We didn’t need air con at all but it wasn’t super hot when we stayed. WiFi connection was excellent. The location for us was perfect and if we ever go back to Talalla we would stay here. Breakfast and coffee in the shaded patio was just lovely, and even if you don’t stay here come even for just the coffee! The two resident Labrador’s were so lovely. Gabby and Chanaka have created a garden paradise and we hope their dreams to make this place even more amazing in years to come go well.

Absolutely stunning! Both - the place and the people (and Rocco the dog too) are amazing. The owner and her team will make your stay unforgettable and spoil you with breakfast and the positive vibes! Remember to start massages from the very first day - magic 😉 Hope the business will bloom in full soon and if I'm back to Talalla, it'll be definitely my place to stay.
