Top choice in Salento
Coffee-country accommodations don't get much better than this. The elegant and comfortable rooms here are set in a charming traditional farmhouse in lush gardens, and the surrounding nature reserve contains some of the last tracts of primary forest in the valley. It's great for both bird-watching and more adventurous pursuits, such as paragliding. It's 3km from Salento, towards Valle Cocora.
Service is top-notch and quality meals are prepared using fresh produce from the farm.
