Guest Reviews
- VALERIE - FRANCOIS (10/5): Le top! - L'accueil chaleureux, la beauté du site, le calme et l'isolement, la bonne odeur du café, les bons repas (petit déjeuner et repas du soir). Le chemin pour y accéder nécessite une voiture pas trop basse
- MARGARITA (10/5): Encanto Total - Lugar mágico y encantador, tanto por la atención, los servicios y las instalaciones, como por la propuesta en general a la que le apuestan Melisa y Pablo.
- Sanchez (10/5): We are literally dreaming of the day we can come back :) I hope that's enough right there! - Amazing breakfast, thoughtfully built accommodations, wonderful artistic touches everywhere, the patio is incredible, and the location cannot be beat! The farm is a really cool reflection of Pablo and Melissa's values towards reforestation, focus on local community, and local ecology.
- Angela (8/5): entorno ideal - el entorno y la cabaña es muy bonito no es facil llegar en coche pequeño por la camada (sobretodo si es de noche), ademas desde donde aparcas el coche hasta la cabaña hay un rato andando
- JESSICA LORENA (10/5): maravillosa, Pablo y Melissa nos atendieron super bien... plan desconexión 10/10 - La cabaña es preciosa
- Etienne (10/5): I spent 4 magical days with Meli and Pablo! Thank you sooo much!!🙏 - Here's THE little gem of Columbia!! A paradise to disconnect and meet the most wonderful Quebec-Columbian couple on earth😄🥰 Passionate about their countries and world culture, by their amazing organic farm, by birds, by plants, by travels...They speak excellent English and French, and it's a wonderful time sharing their stories.
Their cabanes and rooms are perfect, and they take care of our diner and breakfast preparing delicious local dishes!
- claudio (10/5): Will come back 100% - Everything, the place, the atmosphere, the hosts…and the river!
- Miriam (10/5): Tranquilidad en medio de la naturaleza - La tranquilidad y la hospitalidad.
- Wilmar (9/5): -
- Julian Mauricio (10/5): Excelente - Muy aseado y organizado, adicional la Atención de Melissa y Pablo 100 de 10, excepcionales
- Mirna (10/5): - Vielen Dank an Pablo und Melissa für den tollen Aufenthalt, die Wandertipps, den unglaublich leckeren Salat und die hausgemachte Marmelade! Alles in allem unbedingt empfehlenswert.
- Orgales (10/5): Paraíso en plena naturaleza - Todoooo, el alojamiento es brutal, en plena naturaleza, tienes un paseo muy agradable hasta el pueblo, que es una pasada. Los anfitriones de 10. Por decir algo..si vas en coche hasta llegar alli desde el pueblo es un camino.
- Daniel (10/5): Beautiful cabins surrounded by nature - A beautiful place surrounded by coffee trees and birds. The hosts are kind, friendly and warm. The food is fresh and exquisitely made from local chemical-free products. The cabins have every amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. We loved the place
- Simon (10/5): - Melissa und Pablo haben mit ihrer Kreativität und Hingabe einen einzigartigen Ort der Ruhe und Erholung geschaffen. Von Vogelbeobachtung und Führungen auf der Farm oder naturkundlichen Touren im Umland ist Flora del Rio ein guter Ausgangspunkt. Das schöne Örtchen Pijao lässt sich fußläufig erkunden und es gibt tolle Wanderwege in der näheren Umgebung. Morgens gibt es super leckeres, abwechslungsreiches Frühstück und abends gibt es unter anderem den leckersten Salat den ich bisher in Kolumbien gegessen habe. Für uns war die Flora del Rio einer der schönsten Orte Kolumbiens. Danke Melissa und Pablo.
- Liliana (9/5): Viviendo en la un cuento de tranquilidad - La cabaña con mucho detalle, el sonido del río, los pajaritos.
Pablo y Melisa excelentes anfitriones. Toda la experiencia fue muy enriquecedora.
- Geneviève (10/5): Pour une expérience authentique, humaine et chaleureuse, on recommande vivement ! - Flora del Rio est une belle surprise pour les voyageurs en quête d’authenticité. Mélissa et Pablo, un couple québéco-colombien, sont des hôtes incroyables : chaleureux, accessibles et attentionnés. Leur cuisine est un vrai réconfort : soupes savoureuses, pizza maison et les meilleurs patacones que nous avons mangés en Colombie ! Petit-déjeuner livré en panier ou servi sur la véranda avec vue sur les oiseaux et playlists maison. L’endroit est convivial avec instruments, livres, jeux, et Tahna, la chienne adorable. Chambre très propre, confortable avec lit douillet, nombreuses couvertures chaudes et détails soignés (céramique décorative, vitraux artistiques). Rivière à proximité pour la baignade et découverte de la ferme de café. Les petites attentions, comme les coupe-froid de bas de portes et les conseils santé quand on est malade, font toute la différence. Préférable d'arriver à la clarté puisque c'est une petite marche non éclairée en dehors du village. Mais nos hôtes nous ont rassuré de la sécurité des lieux et sont venus à notre rencontre à mi-chemin, en nous aidant avec les bagages! Ils étaient réactifs sur Whtsp et demeuraient en communication tout au long.
- Paula (10/5): - Nos encantó... Recomendado sobre todo para descansar y conectar con la tranquilidad
- Mylène (10/5): - Tout est parfait pour qui aime le calme, un accueil chaleureux. La cabane est un vrai nid au milieu de la plantation où la végétation est riche.Mention spéciale pour les mosaïques verre et carrelage.
Le petit déjeuner copieux et élaboré avec des produits locaux.
Pablo et Mélisse sont des hôtes passionnés et très accueillants. Rien

🌿 DETAILED REVIEW
What we loved:
- The People – Pablo and Melissa are exceptional hosts: thoughtful, kind, and always willing to go above and beyond to make your stay special. They’re also wonderful to talk to, and genuinely care about every guest.
- The Setting – Flora del Rio sits in the charming town of Pijao in the Colombian mountains. The views are stunning, and the farm is only a 5-minute walk to a serene river where you could easily spend the day.
- The Farm – The farm itself is full of fruit trees, coffee plants, and lush greenery that photos can’t capture. It is inspiring to know that the location we were staying in was built with love/care for the surrounding environment!
- The Food – Breakfast (included) is always fresh and varied, and we recommend having it in the common area for the full experience. For dinner, Pablo’s soup and Melissa’s pizza are must-tries—we kept ordering them night after night
💡 TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS:
- Stay longer. We stayed four nights (three full days) and were so glad we did—many other guests we met regretted shorter stays.
- How we spent our time: Day 1 at the river, Day 2 farm tour and relaxing with beers/books, Day 3 mountain excursion, Perfect mix of nature and downtime.
- Farm Tour: Don’t miss the guided walk with Pablo & Melissa, where you’ll learn about their eco-agro techniques and Colombia’s diverse flora.
- Food Tip: Our favorite combo after trial and error—vegetable soup + half-tomato/half-pesto chicken pizza. Absolute perfection.
- Juanfran (10/5): - Increíble las vistas desde la cabaña. Paraíso para la relajación y pasar unos días en la naturaleza. Totalmente recomendable.
- Carvajal (10/5): - Todo fue espectacular, los dueños son super buena gente.
El cafe y el dasayudo son un exelentes.
Gracias por una estadia inolvidable.
Super recomendados.
- Jasmin (10/5): Ein Paradies auf Erden! - Ein absolutes Paradies auf Erden! Pablo und Melissa sind herzliche Gastgeber und wir haben uns die vier Tage sehr wohl gefühlt. Bei Fragen oder organisatorischem konnten sie uns immer weiterhelfen. Die Kabiene war mit viel liebe ins Detail gemacht und wir entdeckten jeden Tag etwas neues. Besonders in der Hängematte zu liegen und die Vögel zu beobachten war wunderschön. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und immer sehr lokal von der Farm. Besonders praktisch war auch der Katalog mit diversen Informationen sowie Kontakte für Aktivitäten in der Umgebung. Gracias Melissa y Pablo! Nichts :-)
- Patricia (10/5): Imperdible de Pijao-zona cafetera - La cabaña, el lugar y la atención. Es muy lindo y tranquilo. Ideal para descansar y desconectarse de las grandes ciudades. Buena ubicación para recorrer la zona. Nada
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional - The place was very calm, the decoration was tasteful and warm, and the view was amazing. Pablo and Melissa were extremely nice, and you can see how much they care about the place.
- Gideon (10/5): Very pleasant. - The cabin is quite private, and has a bit of a view. Little kitchen. Easy walk into town. It was ok for us, but the access track could be a bit hard for some vehicles especially in rain.
- Phung (10/5): Incredible stay in the special Pijao - The cabin, view, the comfort, the details, the locations and of course, Paolo and Melissa, our incredible hosts. The fact that we had to leave after two nights.
- Manuel (8/5): Very good - The people is amazing and the place is very beautifull with a lot nature, It's a great experience if you wants be close to the nature and rivers...
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Melissa and Pablo are a wonderful couple. They were very nice with us and we hope to visit them again. All was great
- Mirjam (10/5): Fantastic! - We spent three days at Flora del Rio and we had a wonderful, relaxing time. We stayed in the cabaña, and enjoyed the plants, the birds, the river. Pablo and Melissa have made this place into a little paradise. We brought our mountainbikes and based on their recommendations we made some really nice trips in the surroundings of pijao. We also liked the food, breakfast in the morning and home-made pizza at night. Nothing.
- Anastasiya (10/5): Exceptional - My stay exceeded all expectations. Melissa and Pablo were amazing, welcoming, and accommodating. Cabin was beautiful, authentic in style and cozy.
- Allen (10/5): A memorable experience from beginning to end! - A warm welcome and a wonderful and caring host and hostess! Nothing!
- Clément (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alfonso (10/5): Everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely come back . Keep it up you guys!! - First and foremost the attention from our hosts Pablo and Melissa then the place which in and of itself is a gem for nature lovers. NA
- William (10/5): Pablo and Melissa were the best thing about an amazing place. Stay here! - Everything! Pablo and Melissa are incredible hosts - generous and welcoming. They built the cabin by hand and every single detail is incredibly well thought through. The photos don’t do it justice - it’s even more amazing when you get there! They showed us around, were v helpful via WhatsApp, great food, great conversation and a very charming dog! They helped us arrange taxis, dinner and it’s amazingly good value for money… worth spending just for the sounds and scene you wake up to. Surrounded by coffee and banana plants, trees filled with birds and the sound of the river. Not to mention fireflies at night! Nothing. Only that we didn’t stay longer!
- Arina (10/5): cannot recommend more this place in Pijao - amazing location, made with love
- Nathan (8/5): Very good - amazing views, close to river for swimming, very nice owners no toilet, windows seed screens, bed not very comfortable.
