Reserva Guadalajara - Authentic farm in Cocora Valley

Believe all the reviews about Diego - he is pure magic! I loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee and chatting with him. The property is rich with culture and history (his grandparents pictured on the wall! the chest they brought all their belongings in in the courtyard!) - you feel like you are entering a special place when you're at this property. I didn't do the horses, but he did help organize a coffee tour for me and one of the public transports to pick me up at the end of the driveway to do Cocora Valley Hike. I've never felt cooler then when it pulled over, and I hopped on back like a local. I slept incredibly well here - comfortable bed, blackout shutters, but it is a farm so you will hear roosters and activity in the morning! I loved lounging in the hammock and watching the sunset light up the valley. The food was great, and there is also a very famous restaurant (Donde Laurita - get the frozen lemonade) a 5 min walk down the road. Cannot wait to come back here and bring my parents!

Just a flag that I'm not sure how they do hotel-star ratings in Colombia, but this is not a US "5-star" stay as listed on booking.com - it is more like a farm stay. I LOVED it here, but I just don't want people coming here thinking spa, amenities, room service, etc. You receive the basics (bar of soap, shampoo no conditioner, etc) - everything I needed but just want to flag to folks looking for luxury stay that this is rustic but LOVELY

You will sleep in Diego’s family farm, a beautiful and peacefull area. Breakfast is amazing! Thank you for the horseback riding, and for sharing with us this beautiful land and its history !

The breakfast was very good. The location was perfect for our morning ride with the owner. Otherwise it is a perfect location for an extremely quiet stay.

We liked the staff-especially thanks to Jenny and Sandra. The house is old and very traditional.

The location is about 2km from Salento. You can walk to/from the town, but it is not fun at all-the road is very narrow, with a lot of curves and traffic. It means-each time you will need a taxi (to Salento, to Cocora Valley, to coffee farm, etc.) which is incredibly expensive.

Everything was amazing, starting from the owner Diego he was so kind and gentle, also room was big and really authentic, staff really friendly and horse ride is a must.

Gorgeous location on an old family farm with a charismatic host, Diego. Food is delicious and lots of adventures await: hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking or birding.

Amazing location in the valley and only a short car journey to Salento (20 mins walking). The room was spacious and clean and had everything we could want. The property has an incredible terrace overlooking the horses and mountains and was a lovely place to sit and have a delicious breakfast. Diego and all of the staff were fantastic - so friendly and helpful. The horse ride was a particular highlight and will be an unforgettable experience. We rode up through the mountains, guided by Diego, to see incredible views and to learn about the Colombian landscape. We didn’t come across anyone else on the whole 4 hour ride - it felt very authentic. This was only my second time riding a horse and I felt very comfortable as the horses are so calm and well trained. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Amazing experience. I don’t speak Spanish that well, but everyone from the hotel were extremely nice to me. I enjoyed this staying!
