ABOUT
OUR STORY
Casa Tikiri wasn't designed around a concept. It was built around a life. The one Alice and Stefano chose when they traded Lake Como for the south coast of Sri Lanka, and a comfortable career for a home that felt entirely their own.
What you find here is the direct expression of how they think, travel, eat, and live. Italian soul. The dream of endless summer. The reason they chose Asia, of all the places in the world they had been.
Living a cuor leggero. With a light heart. Not without depth, but without unnecessary weight.
The mornings here have no agenda. The afternoons belong to no one. The evenings last exactly as long as they should. Every detail is thought about with care. Small things, done well. That is the only way we know how to live.
CASA OF LIGHTNESS
Summer at Casa Tikiri isn't a season.
The warmth that makes you slow down. The abundance that makes you stay a little longer. The aperitivo that becomes dinner, the afternoon that stretches into evening, barefoot and unhurried. A convivial table, good food, and the quiet certainty that there is nowhere else to be. The spirit of dolce far niente, taken somewhere tropical and made entirely our own.
CASA OF SUMMER
An invitation to curiosity. To collect experiences that cannot be replicated. To find beauty where others walk past. To discover stories no guide has written about yet.
This is how we move through the world. We built Casa Tikiri the same way: one unexpected detail at a time. Come curious. Leave with something you did not expect.

An Insider’s Guide to Sri Lanka
Grab a fresh coconut and watch surfers glide across waves in Weligama or Hiriketiya. Wait quietly as elephants stomp past your vehicle and leopards hide in the jungle while on safari in Yala National Park. And in the country’s center, watch the cascading tea terraces.
