Hacienda Guayabal

El guia del tour del cafè, Santiago, fue exceptional. La hacienda tiene una naturaleza muy hermosa. Jorge y familia muy muy amables. La experiencia EN sí es muy autentica

Reservamos villa y no nos la dijeron, sin explicacion, como si fuera igual darnos por el mismo precio (Alto, 150 Eur) dos habitaciones con bano. No hubo claridad sobre el precio del tour - nos comunicaron el valor sòlo despues del tour, 270.000 Cop, sin que se entendiera bien el valor por persona. La casa que llaman "hotel" esta bastante desordenada. Entendemos que el recien terremoto causò algun dano, pero la impresion general es que haya un sobreprecio comparado con el estado en que se encuentran las instalaciones.

l’Hacienda est magnifique et la partie hôtel très agréable : nous avons été dans une maison qui semblait au cœur des plantations, le menu est excellent (et très copieux), la végétation luxuriante et les colibris nombreux ! Egalement chambre confortable dans le bâtiment des années 70/80. Nous étions 5 personnes en tout Belle piscine pour se détendre. Mention spéciale à l’équipe aux petits soins. Merci! En outre. tour en café pédagogique et complet sur le café, de la cueillette que l’on réalise nous même, jusqu’aux différentes manières de préparer les tasses. En français avec Santiago.

Paikka on todella kaunis! Henkilökunta on erittäin ystävällistä ja heillä on paljon tietoa alueesta. Heidän kahvikiertueensa oli aivan huippu! Näköala huvilasta oli satumainen.

Ei ole mitään mistä emme pitäneet.

El entorno, la amabilidad del personal sobre todo y la piscina

Las instalaciones antiguas

Excelente todo: el servicio, la tranquilidad, el café…

Muy amable el personal

The Coffee Tour of the hacienda and the Colibrís were fantastic!

The view and the stuff was great

The swim pool does look unrenovated

The hacienda is a perfect location for relaxing. It has such a wonderfully calm feel, the surroundings are stunning and the room was just wonderful. Jorge, Elene and Pilo are great hosts; nothing is too much. The coffee tour was super interesting.

Everything! Jorge and his lovely sister, Pilo and Sebastián looked after us from the moment we arrived. Provided us with nice food and drinks, lots of delicious coffee, an excellent and informative tour of the farm and a comfortable spacious room with a good hot shower. And there’s a pool as well as lots of colourful birds. A totally relaxing place - one of our best stops on our travels around Colombia :)

Not a single thing!

Jorge and Irene were extremely cordial. And Pilo was fantastic - very attentive as we enjoyed the hotel and the grounds He was ready to serve us at every turn. We enjoyed delicious coffee and meals, whipped up by the talented cocinera!

EVERYTHING! Jorge, his sister and nephew, Pilo and Santiago were wonderful. The room was brilliant, the finca itself was brilliant, and our coffee tour was brilliant - one of the highlights of our trip! They even have hummingbirds! Jorge was incredibly helpful in helping us get to the accommodation, and his nephew kindly dropped us at the bus stop when we couldn't get a taxi. Lovely family and team - wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Nothing at all, was spot on!

It was nice to be in such a beautiful pastoral setting. Jorge and his family members were wonderful hosts and cooks. We enjoyed everything

Eine fantastische Hacienda, eingebettet in wunderschöne Natur inmitten von Kaffeeplantagen. Man konnte traumhaft schöne Blumen,exotische Pflanzen, Kolibries und viele andere Vögel wunderbar beobachten. Das Essen war total lecker und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Man fühlte sich wirklich auf das Allerherzlichste willkommen. Der Eigentümer, seine Angestellten, alle haben sich rührend um unser Wohlergehen gekümmert. Die angebotene Kaffeetour hat unser junger Guide Santiago wunderbar gemacht. Er hat alles mit viel Ruhe und Geduld erklärt, so dass wir nun fast Kaffee-Experten geworden sind... Ebenso ist es ein Ort absoluter Ruhe und Entspannung.

Es gibt absolut keine Kritikpunkte. Eine Hacienda, die wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen würden und auch selber gerne bei einer nächsten Kolumbien-Rundreise nochmals besuchen würden.

El trato y compromiso de las personas quee atienden el hotel

Wir waren begeistert von der wunderschönen Lage der Hacienda, umgeben von Kaffeeplantagen und vielen anderen unbekannten Pflanzen. Das Zimmer war sehr hell. Vom Bett aus konnten wir viele exotische Vögel beobachten. Fasziniert waren wir auch von der Tränke, die durch die Kolibris besucht wurde. Die Gastgeber waren durchwegs sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Kaffeetour sehr interessant.

This place is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, perfect for a few days of relaxation! I really loved how attentive the staff were, the food was amazing, and of course, the coffee was divine. The tour through the farm was super informative, teaching me all about coffee growing, the local plants, and the art of making the perfect espresso. I can’t recommend the tour enough! A huge thank you to Jorge, Pilo, and Santiago for everything.

Super friendly owners and attentive staff. Great hiking and views, very pretty landscaping, good learning experience.

Todo, el dueño es un amor. Muy preocupados y atentos

Excelente lugar

La hacienda es espectacular, el personal amable, apasionados de su trabajo en la finca. Las vistas. La comida, la atmósfera en general.

La habitación podría estar más actualizada.

Los alrededores, mucha naturaleza. El hotel es muy bien mantenido y muy limpio.

No hubo ninguna cosa que no me gustara.

Fantastic views, incredibly kind staff and super interesting coffee tour. Food was very good as well. We stayed in the suite which is very large and private, with a breathtaking view. Highly recommended.

Nothing really, it was a great experience. The facilities are a bit dated - but this adds a retro (very 70s) charm.

Personale davvero gentile e accogliente . Siamo una famiglia con due bambine e tutto il Personale ci ha letteralmente coccolato facendosi sentire come a casa. Un oasi di pace , in mezzo al verde e al silenzio. Jorge ha 6 cani meravigliosi e tanti colibrì. Siamo stati davvero bene

We spend four nights with our 3 kids. We had a phenomenal stay. The property is run by Jorge who is very nice, welcoming and always available to help. The property is beautifully located in the middle of a 64 ha of coffee plantation. The view in the morning is stunning. You are completely immersed in nature, yet in a very safe and quiet environment. The breakfast and dinners are simple but good and typical of Colombia. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The property offers a detailed tour of the coffee plantation. The property is well located to local airports and attractions.

Das gesamte Personal war sehrsehr freundlich, sie führen die Hacienda mit viel Liebe. Vielen Dank auch an Pilo an dieser Stelle, welcher seinen Beruf mit viel Geduld, Anmut und Liebenswürdigkeit ausübt. Nicht zuletzt die überschaubare Grösse macht die Hacienda zu einem sehr persönlichen Ort. Die Landschaft, in welche die Unterkunft eingebettet ist, ist einfach nur traumhaft! Beim Essen gab es zwar wenig Wahlmöglichkeit, dafür war alles sehr lecker und mit Liebe zubereitet. Die Kaffeetour mit Santiago war unglaublich spannend und eindrücklich. Er hat ein enormes Wissen über Kaffee und auch sonst alles, was rund um die Hacienda wächst. Wie haben sehr viel gelernt und fanden es genial zu sehen, wie Kaffee geerntet und auf der Hacienda verarbeitet wird.

Hacienda Guayabal welcomed us when we arrived pretty late and treated us very warmly. We had an odontological emergency that Jorge solved by making an urgent appointment with a trusted professional he knew of. We took the Coffee Tour to learn how little we knew about coffee. We also spent some hours watching hummingbirds.

Everything was fantastic.

Beautiful situation on a coffee farm. The people were lovely.

Nothing

The location is breathtaking. Especially when you walk up the hill trough the coffeplantation. For the service I would even give 6 stars if possible. Form the arrival to the minute we left we were warmly welcomed. The coffeetour was great we learnd a lot about coffee and how to prepare it properly. Thanks a lot Santiago. Juan helpt us with everthing we needed. Also many thanks. Our Waiter (sorry I don't remember the name) was extraordinary. Muy amable. Defenetly recomendable. We would come back every time. Grazias por todo

Just one little downsite which the owners have nothing to do with. When we walked there I got attacked by a dog so we would recommend taking a taxi. The host was really eager to understand which dog it was.

Wonderful location with excellent views on a working coffee hacienda, with excellent coffee tour. Lovely, caring and friendly owners and staff make the difference - truly hosting you (literally) in their home, and doing everything to make your stay a great experience. Overall very comfortable rooms, good bedding, functional bathrooms, unexpectedly wonderful towels & even bathroom amenities. Hacienda provides meals - fresh fruits from their garden and full hot breakfast, but also cooked simple, yet tasty lunches and dinners.

Adding moskito/insect nets to at least one of the windows in the room would really help - at night it's wonderfully cool outside, but due to the stinging flies we would not open windows, and it was a bit hot to sleep. Would be an easy fix :-) to make the stay perfect

The Hacienda is in the most beautiful location, surrounded by coffee fields, mountains and in its own well-planted gardens. The birdlife is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the meals were all delicious. A highlight was the coffee tour. We learnt so much about how coffee is produced and made. Our favourite place in 4 weeks in Colombia.

The kindness of host. The lunch and dinner is great. The location is quiet and beautiful. It surrounds with the plants and birds, what a treat. The room is clean and the hot water is a big bonus.

The bed is too soft for me.

Very interesting Coffee Tour, Guide spoke a very good english and was extremely knowledgable. Very nice setting in the hills. We had the bungalow which gave a lot of privacy and a lot of space.

The atmoshphere of the main house (where breakfast and dinner is served) as well as the food quality could be improved.

The room was very spacious and the bed huge, the personnel and the owners were super friendly and helpful The coffee tour is a must!!!!

We had a very warm welcome in the evening we arrived. The hosts are so sweet and help you with everything (even with buying tickets for the football game and where to park nearby the stadium :) ). The hotel itself is a little bit outside the town but that makes it even more good because you can totally enjoy the silence. In the morning hours you can hear all the birds that flying around. They also offer a coffee tour on their farm which is very interesting. You can pick the coffee beans for your own coffee. The rooms are big and clean. We also had dinner and breakfast which was very good and freshly cooked. Would definitely come back when in Colombia again. Had a really great stay there.

The owner and staff made our experience on this working coffee plantation amazing

Wonderful setting, amazing hosts. The coffee tour was also fantastic. Simply put, they take great care of all their guests in simple accommodation

Nothing to note

The breakfast was fantastic! A fruit plate, arepa or bread with any kind of egg you could wish for, as well as freshly squeezed juice and coffee from the farm. The chef is the sweetest man, and really skilled at both cooking and presenting the food. He also remembers how you prefer your coffee and always serves it the way you like it best. In addition, he pays attention to you throughout the day and, for example, brings you water by the pool. Also the host helped us with a very flexible transportation from the property. The coffee tour was amazing and I will recommend it to everyone. You both get to pick coffee beans in the fields, see how the coffee is made, have a lecture on the history and science of coffee and have a coffee tasting with five different brewed coffees and a skilled guide.

I don't think I can put my finger on anything that could have been better.

We loved everything but especially the hospitality of the staff and the stunning setting. The coffee tour with Santiago was fantastic - he is so knowledgeable. Jorge, Elena and Pilo are the kindest people and made our stay in the Zona Cafetera unforgettable. Thank you!

Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Incredible lugar, empleados excepcionales. El tour de café se Santiago, impecable.

So peaceful!! I have lived in Colombia for 6 years and that was the quietest night ever! Beautiful gardens surrounding a colourful well maintained property. Room was spacious with great views from the large windows. Great bed and good shower. Great hosts - felt like I was visiting new friends. I travelled with my two dogs and they were made very welcome too!

Everything was great

Stayed here for 2 nights. The hacienda is in a beautiful location, stunning views and lots of land for a walk to work off the fabulous food. Jorge and his family running the hotel and restaurant were very professional and the place was very well run. The food was great and the staff were very attentive and kind. Jorge helped us find transportation and worked with us every step of the way to make our stay very memorable. The coffee tour was fantastic. Santiago was a great guide and I will now fully appreciate all the work that goes into my coffee. He is excelente, the entire tour took aprox 3 hours, we did learn all about coffee ( production, washing, drying, threshing) finally it was grind, brew and taste a very fresh cup of coffee from Colombia I would fully recommend this hacienda to anyone wanting to visit the zona cafetera.

Great people, spectacular scenery. Wonderful place.

We had a wonderful time at Hacienda Guayabal thanks to the owners and staff who went out of their way to make our stay the best it could be. The hacienda, the personal atmosphere and the helpfulness were exceptional. The coffee tour we did was also exceptionally good and informative.

Nothing, we can highly recommend Hacienda Guayabal!

Beautiful views Wonderful staff and food

Nothing

This place is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited. The staff was amazing, kind and welcoming. The room was perfect, and the food delicious.

Everything was perfect.

We enjoyed very much our stay at the hacienda which is the ideal place to rest, enjoy nice homemade food and understand the coffee production process. It relies a lot on the kindness of the staff and the beautiful view from the hacienda. Highly recommend.

No complaints

This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed! Go there! It’s so peaceful and utterly idyllic. The gardens are beautiful, well tended and full of beautiful birds. Bird tables stacked with food are dotted around the garden, so you can sit there and the birds flock to it! I could watch hummingbirds feeding all day! Our room was lovely. We had a balcony overlooking the pool, garden and mountains. The coffee tour is excellent. So interesting and beautiful to walk around the plantation. Santiago is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who speaks great English, and lives and breathes coffee! The food is delicious. Great breakfast and lunch/dinner of fish / meats and salad. Jorge and his staff are all attentive and helpful, happy to arrange trips or taxis. We stayed 3 nights and I was gutted to leave! We flew in from Manizales and out from Pereira, both taxis easy, cheap and arranged by Jorge. I’d love to go back one day! Thanks Jorge 😘

Nothing. It’s beautiful!

Really friendly and helpful staff!

The location is a dreamy, it is so beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed staying on Jorge’s hacienda, loved the coffee tour with Ricardo and liked being spoiled by Pilo with food and coffee.

Nothing to say for the 2 nights.

Fantastic location, beautiful views, relaxing

It was great

Loved the calmness and cleanliness.

The most beautiful place in the entire Colombia! We will be back.

Good food Nice garden with loads of birds Coffee tour was great

The staff make this place. They are truly amazing and go out of their way to help you. The coffee tour is great and more in-depth tour than the one we did in Salento. Loved walking in and he hills of the vast coffee plantation. Would definitely recommend.

We liked the place very much. Room had a fanstatic view. Meals was good and staff very friendly. Beds was comfortable. The coffee tour was exellent as the coffee is.

Would highly recommend Hacienda Guayabal! Beautiful location and property, excellent, friendly hosts who are at your beck and call for anything you need! Jorge and family are the best! Safe, quiet, lots to do - thumbs up!

Beautiful location with great hosts. Jorge and family made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived in Chinchina. He even organized a taxi to collect us from the bus. The coffee tour was very informative and we also visited the nearby Termales Santa Rosa de Cabal, as per Jorge's recommendation. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were great too. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is passing through the area!

The Hacienda Guayabal is a truly beautiful place. The care which Jorge and his family and staff take in everything they do is evident from the moment you make a booking. The location is glorious, with well-maintained rooms, incredible views and homely, carefully prepared and presented food. The tour of the farm is extremely interesting and very well explained by the guide.

very beautiful landscape, big and airy rooms, swimming pool and patio for guest use. the coffee tour was excellent and educational, highly recommend. the food was delicious!

tranquility and abundance of birds.

Coffee tour was very! informative, Breakfast service was superb. Even though the property is outside the city George arranged very good transportation connections and even got us a discount on the bus to Medellin. The staff made this a comfortable and enjoyable place.

Could have had some more shelves for clothing, etc.

amazing staff, beautiful views, breakfast

metal doors

Wow, just wow! Beautiful place, great food, amazing views and fantastic people. They were all very friendly and caring. They even checked on us when we went to town to make sure we were fine. Jorge, Irene and the whole staff were great, they made us feel totally at home. I would highly recommend this piece of paradise for the peace and quiet it brings.

Nothing, the closest thing to perfection.

The property and the views are beautiful, and it's peaceful and feels in nature. The level of service offered was phenomenal. they went above and beyond with everything. I had personal transportation, so the location was perfect, more or less in the middle of all of the destinations I wanted to visit. If I return to the zona cafetera, I will definitely stay here again.

the whole reason to come here is the coffee farm, but the hotel portion is also really awesome. lunch and dinner are about $10, breakfast is included and the food is really good. hammock outside my room which I love. the views are stunning

Most outstanding service and warm-hearted owners

Hacienda Guayabal is a faboulous place. Conveniently located in the vicinity of Chinchina it is easily reachable by taxi. Jorge and his family do their best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The coffee tour they offer was an unforgettable experience. Local guide Santiago who performs the tour is such a databank of information eager to provide insight into coffee production process. Truly recommendable!

We simply loved it. The staff was very welcoming (we heard “this is your home” several times and truly felt it) and helpful. Jorge ensured we had all the info we needed to get there and to get the right bus for the departure. The rooms are simple, but very clean and the bed it very comfortable. We loved waking up and having breakfast with a wonderful view of the coffee plants and colourful birds! Very nice pool and good food (with nice salads). The coffee tour with Santiago was truly the best tour we’ve ever done: it was very well structured, complete and hands-on, and off the very touristic Salento area (we were lucky to even have a private tour!). Santiago is a great teacher and knew the answer to all our questions. We will never drink coffee the same way anymore! Gracias Jorge, Irene, Juan-Juan y Santiago, ha sido un enorme placer!

Nothing!

perfectly located in the middle of coffee Plantages. Jorge + the entire team are the kindest hosts I’ve ever met. The coffee tour has been both, informative and fun. Big recommendation!

-

The staff, the scenery, the room and the food were all amazing. The coffee tour with Santiago was one of the best experiences in our 5 months travelling South America. I can’t recommend spending a night or two here enough!

Nothing

Wonderful place sorrunded by coffee plants! Super nice owners, Jorge and Irene, and staff which made us feel at home. Unbelievable coffee tour with Santiago. nice and clean rooms and good restaurant!
