Villa Sentosa is the biggest Malacca traditional house situated in Kampung Morten which is at the center of Malacca. This place can be viewed from the Malacca River Cruise and is very pretty during the night as the lights from the houses can be seen from afar. When you go inside the building a friendly and helpful guide will show you around the house which holds many traditional household items from the time the village was first built. You will find the visit very nice as the guide is interactive and will answer any questions that a visitor may have. Visitors are very welcomed by the people there. This living museum will be very worthwhile for anyone who loves to have an experience and interactive tour of a traditional Malacca house.

Beautiful old house. Entrance is around the back, then come to the front of the house to find granny. She will show you around a little, but she forgets what she just told you and repeats herself a lot. Be patient and ask her questions about the house. You can leave a donation by the gong.
