About us
Patini is a family guesthouse. We are a mixed family:
- Séverine, a Swiss woman (48 years old, French/francophone and English speaking)
- Daya, a Sri Lankan man Daya (56 years old, Sinhala and English speaking)
- Chamika, a boy (16 years old, French, Sinhala and English speaking)
- Hassalie, a girl (13 years old, French, Sinhala and English speaking)
For a few years, Mala has been working for us every day. She
will help you with a smile and her kindness from 8.30am to 5pm. She doesn’t
speak much English but she manages to understand your needs.
Daya is at Patini most of the time gardening, repairing,
painting, maintaining, improving, shopping, taxiing, from 8am to 10pm. He could
be your driver for the day or a couple of days. He has a comfortable Kia
Sorento.
Severine is at Patini only in the afternoon.
Hassalie and Chamika has their own teenagers life… They
may sometimes pop at Patini.
We like to welcome anyone, families, friends and couples. We will take care of you as a family member while leaving you independent and free. We will be happy and available to answer your questions about tourism and Sri Lankan life.
Many reviews on Booking, Google and TripAdvisor were written about Patini Bungalows - Beach Garden. You can read them to get an idea of your next visit to Patini.
We fell in love in Daya's guesthouse at Tangalle in 2003. Séverine moved to Sri Lanka in 2006. We got married in 2007.
Patini Bungalows – Beach Garden is the new name after rebuilding Daya's "Happy Bungalows" (6 wooden bungalows and restaurant) which was destroyed by a flood in 2003. Fortunately, Daya had rebuilt only the garden before the tsunami happened in 2004. We would like to warmly thank all the people who helped us to rebuild...
