Pistacho

Absolutely beautiful setting and wonderful service. Highly recommend! Pierre the owner is extremely helpful, super friendly and an excellent host.

¡Nos encantó el espacio! Se nota que todo está muy bien pensado y cuidado; siempre encontramos lo que necesitábamos y nos sentimos súper cómodos durante toda la estadía. ¡Fue una experiencia perfecta! Muchas gracias por todo y esperamos volver en otra oportunidad. 🥰

Todo muy bien !

Le cadre exceptionnel, le service, la restauration… et les colibris ☺️

Great location if you want to be walking distance from the town but still get great views. Lovely terrace where you can watch hummingbirds and have a nice breakfast (20,000 COP). They also do lunch. For dinner you have to go elsewhere unless you eat early. But it’s only a 15min walk to the town down the road, just bring a headtorch. Helpful and friendly staff and owner

Aircon and mosquito net would be a good addition

La vue depuis la chambre et la terrasse est super pour profiter du coucher de soleil ! Plein de colibris Chambre confortable Pierre a été ultra disponible et de bon conseil Le petit dej et la cuisine sont top On ne peut que recommander

Il faut marcher un peu mais sans ça on n’aurait pas la super vue et du coup on est plus proche des cascades !

Nuestra experiencia en Pistacho fue excelente de principio a fin. 🤍 El alojamiento es muy fácil de encontrar, ya que está ubicado sobre la vía principal. Las instalaciones son hermosas, muy bien cuidadas, y la zona social es simplemente espectacular, perfecta para relajarse y disfrutar del entorno. La habitación donde nos hospedamos era amplia, cómoda, muy bonita y estaba limpia. La comida también nos encantó. Todo lo que probamos tenía muy buen sabor, excelente sazón. Además, un detalle que nos gustó mucho fue que el personal incluso va hasta la habitación para avisarte cuando el desayuno está listo. Sin duda, lo mejor del lugar es su personal. Todos fueron increíblemente amables, atentos y siempre nos atendieron con una sonrisa. La chica que nos atendió en el restaurante durante la noche fue muy especial; incluso fue hasta nuestra habitación para avisarnos que la cocina estaba por cerrar por si queríamos pedir algo. Y un detalle que realmente nos sorprendió fue que el chico que nos atendió esa noche (creemos que era el dueño) nos reconoció al día siguiente cuando ya íbamos bajando la montaña y nos saludó. Ese tipo de atención hace que uno se sienta realmente bien recibido. No encontramos ningún aspecto negativo durante nuestra estadía. Todo estuvo muy limpio, organizado y el servicio fue impecable. Definitivamente volveríamos a hospedarnos en Pistacho y lo recomendaríamos sin dudarlo a cualquiera que visite Minca. Es un lugar hermoso, con excelente comida y, sobre todo, con personas que hacen que la experiencia sea aún más especial. 🤍

Como única sugerencia de mejora, sería ideal que la habitación contara con un televisor para quienes disfrutan ver una película o una serie. También sería un plus que, en lugar de un ventilador grande y uno pequeño, ambos fueran de tamaño grande para brindar una mayor comodidad. Son detalles que, en cualquier caso, no afectaron en absoluto nuestra experiencia.

The views were amazing, birds at the balcony everyday, clean and comfortable. Staff were all helpful and the breakfast was delicious!

Nothing at all!

L'emplacement et la vue depuis la chambre était magnique et l'eau chaude de la douche

Le lit inconfortable qui garde un trou de la forme du corps ce qui le rends mauvais pour dormir Le patron n'était pas tres professionnel. Il y a eu beaucoup de coupure de courant qui n'était pas de sa faute mais il n'a jamais mis le générateur en route donc le ventilateur ne fonctionnait pas ni la wifi ni la lumière alors qu'il nous avait promis de l'activé. Le restaurant proposer dans l'hôtel a été fermé tout du long de notre séjour sauf le midi du dernier jour il ne nous a même pas donner les horaires donc on n'a pas pus profiter du restaurant. Pendant les 2 premiers jours il n'y avait personne dans l'établissement si un soucis apparaissait.

The peace and tranquility you feel immediately as you step onto the terrace at the reception and also when you enter the room. There is a very pleasant atmosphere, which is naturally created by the nature and jungle you have a direct view of, but certainly also by Pierre and his team. The room is very spacious, clean, nicely decorated and with the sliding doors open, you feel like you are part of nature. The hummingbird literally rushes past your ears, and the ‘sounds’ of the jungle as soon as the sun sets are actually the only sound you hear. Right in the middle of nature and yet within walking distance of Minca. The location is therefore truly perfect! Everything is very lovely taken care of, even some facilities for making coffee, tea, or using a fridge. Pierre is very helpful, attentive, very quick to answer messages, and is happy to help you with all kinds of recommendations for tours or things to do and discover in the area.

Location and great view. 10-12 minutes walking distance from Minca center

The flooring needs better cleaning. There were many long hairs on the carpet and in the toilet.

El alojamiento de Pier tiene lo necesario para pasarla en un entorno de tranquilidad y naturaleza, ademas un excelente servicio de desayuno y restaurante, el personal y el mismo Pier son personas muy amables.

Todo me ha gustado.

El estilo rústico que tiene es hermoso

La llave del lavamanos es muy bajita

La localisation était super. Un peu en dehors du village donc au calme mais suffisamment proche pour s’y rendre à pied. Bonne communication avec Pierre (le propriétaire/gérant). Je recommande !

The hostel is perfect. The restaurant is open till 16h and the rooms are downstairs. The view is beautiful. The wall between the beds is nice and there is a hammock in the room. Hummingbirds are right by your window. The hostel is easily accessible by moto taxi and the staff was very helpful when we needed one. There was also a waterfall nearby that we could enjoy.

Not the only hotel in Minca we experienced this, but the bed are too hard and you feel like you are sleeping on plywood. Luckily the hammock was a nice alternative. Also the drain of shower was blocked.

Piere the host was great, gave us great recommendations and also arrange a local taxi for us from santa marta - seeing hummingbirds on the balcony every morning was a nice little bonus to. Good location nice and quiet with a 10 minute walk into town .

Nous avons tout aimé! Le calme, la vue et l’accueil! La chambre hyper spacieuse et très sympa!

Rien!

l'emplacement pres de minca et les activités à faire aux envirrons la gentillesse de Pierre les colibris sur la terrasse

Une petite structure, proche du centre mais au calme avec des chambres avec baies vitrées et balcon donnant sur la nature. Très chouette. Une magnifique terrasse pour prendre petit déjeuner, jus de fruits et déjeuner. Un accueil très sympathique de Pierre...et même de l'eau bien chaude pour la douche, chose peu courante en Colombie.

Combine charme, tranquilité, jolie vue tout en restant assez proche du centre ville pour tout faire à pieds. Nombreuses randonnées possibles autour de l'hôtel. La baie vitrée et la petite terrasse permettent de profiter de la visite de nombreux colibris. La terrasse de l'hôtel est parfaite pour admirer le coucher de soleil au calme. Restauration possible de 7h30 jusqu'à 16h. La nourriture est bonne, la carte variée. Possible d'aller dîner dans d'autres restaurants aux alentours entre 3 et moins de 10mn à pieds. Prévoir une frontale car pas d'éclairage public sur tout le chemin. Le propriétaire est très sympa et de bon conseil :)

L'hotel étant proche d'une rivière et dans la forêt, la chambre peut être un peu humide. Il suffit d'aérer le matin pendant que vous prenez votre café pour régler le problème.

Super hôtel, super vue, super host.

Close to town yet away from the noise. Lovely and tranquil. Excellent recommendations from owner for walks and places to eat. Very helpful with any requests

Room was a little dark at night. We didn't mind as there are excellent places to eat nearby but there is no kitchen after 6pm

Echt een heerlijke ruimte op een fijne plek. Een stukje buiten Minca, waar wij echt blij om waren want jeetje wat is dit een druk plaatsje met continu autos en motoren door de straatjes. 10 minuten lopen en we zaten weer in ons rustige stekje. Tucáns en kolibries in de boom voor ons balkon. De kamer is echt heerlijk ruim en licht en goed verzorgd. Er is ook water en koffie en een koelkast en magnetron op de gang die je deelt met 1 andere kamer. Ontbijt in het restaurant op de verdieping erboven is ook super en al vanaf 07:30 verkrijgbaar. Eigenaar spreekt goed Engels en wil graag helpen bij taxi, tours, eetwensen etc.

Beautiful location

Das Zimmer war riesig gross und der Balkon mit den vielen Kolibris und der tollen Aussicht war herrlich. Wir haben die Ruhe hier sehr genossen. Uns wurde ein Taxi organisiert, welches uns zum Busterminal in Santa Marta brachte. Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass das Hotel 1km / 20min vom Zentrum Minca, den Berg hinauf, entfernt liegt.

Die Behälter der Feeder für die Kolbris sollten gereingt werden, da dies für die Vögel sehr schädlich ist. Vom angebotenen Frühstück war fast nichts vorhanden.

La vista es sin dudas su punto fuerte. La tranquilidad y la comodidad también. Pier, el anfitrión es muy buena onda. Lo más genial son los colibríes que están todo el día en el árbol de enfrente. Pier nos ayudó muchísimo en todo. Está bien informado, si necesitas cualquier servicios taxi o lo que sea el te lo resuelve. Está muy cerca del pueblo y de pozo azul, se puede llegar caminando con niños pequeños inclusive.

El transporte local es casi todo moto taxi, así que si vas con niños tenlo en cuenta. Es mejor no salir a caminar de noche por las calles, no tiene que ver con el local, pero las motos suben y bajan muy de prisa y es oscuro.

Superbe chambre, très grande, lit confortable. Hamac dans la chambre est un super plus! Les colibris wow! Le petit dejeuner succulent L'accueil très chaleureux de Pierre le propriétaire qui parle aussi français. Bon wifi.

Incredible view just a 20 minute walk from town and hot water. Microwave and fridge to use as well. Assisted us with transport to the airport.

Showed up within the advertised check-in hours to no one being there. Seems the place is not finished still or just not open. We were under the impression this was more of a hotel with a restaurant.

Grote kamer met kolibries op het balkon. Prachtig uitzicht. Even buiten het centrum gelegen maar te voet goed te doen.

The host is very friendly, helping us with a reliable airport shuttle, local recommendations and a ride to Minca. The room that we stayed at was exceptional, with plenty of room, a stunning view and comfortable beds. Even the bathroom is a true jungle experience. I recommend staying at the Pistacho Hostel!

Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend und man kann von der Terrasse und aus dem Bett Kolibris beobachten. Absolut nettes und engagiertes Personal. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb und ist daher absolut ruhig.

The view from the terras is great. We saw colibries and even toucans! Nice hot shower, that's often not the case in this area. The owner wasn't in the country, but still very responsive.

We knew there wasn't aircon, but we expected a mosquito net over the beds, or in front of the windows, to be able to let the cool evening/night air in. But that is not the case. We arrived in a hot humid damp room and couldn't open the sliding doors because of the mosquitos. It was very hot and we didn't sleep well. The fan on the left side of the room has the power of a tornado (and fell of the wall in the middle of the night). The bathroom has nice features but the 'window' is only one brick taken out of the wall, so it stays wet. The room has 4 beds but only two chairs, inconvenient. The restaurant was closed 2 of the 3 days, the place felt a bit abondoned.

Buenísimo

L’emplacement La chambre

Réception fermée très tôt et personne sur place à partir de 15h. L’endroit paraît un peu mort …. Chambre pas très propre

The view from my room was stunning. Location is 10 minutes outside the village so it was really calm and peaceful. Staff is very friendly and kind. Breakfasts were a bit small, but delicious - still very good value for money.

No hot water, but it was really hot season so it wasn't needed.

I can totally recommend this place for a stay! It is located a bit outside the busy village, a 15 min walk up the hill. But the walk is worth every minute, because you get a quiet place in the wonderful nature. The rooms offer a great view, with hummingbirds visiting you on your large balcony. The room and bathroom were generous as well and absolutely clean. There is a water dispenser in the hallway as well as a fridge and even a microwave. The place offers a nice breakfast and the people working at Pistacho were very sweet and helpful. All in all, a great experience!

This is a beautiful place with fantastic forest views! The bed is ultra comfortable, and the room decor is very nice, well designed, and fits the surrounding nature with large windows and sliding glass doors & balconyfor fantastic viewing! The owner provides serious customer service, including quick responses to all texted questions, meal suggestions, he even gave me a moto ride to town when I was going to call a taxi! He offers fantastic homemade breakfasts (for a small charge), and he was also very helpful with side issues, eg the power got knocked out with a big rain/wind storm, and he ran the generator during waking hours to help us keep our phones charged and able to retrieve/send messages! Also, my fan just stopped working in my room for no reason, he immediately came with another fan to help keep me cool!

I enjoyed everything about my stay here. It's certainly not the cheapest price in town, and absolutely not the cheapest accommodations. You do get what you pay for!!

We had the best stay at Pistachio! It was so peaceful and relaxing. Nothing but the sounds of nature and beautiful views. You can watch the hummingbirds and tocans from your balcony. The room was spacious and comfortable. The access to a fridge, microwave, and bottled water was a nice bonus too. It is a short walk to town and there are a couple places to eat near by so you don't have to go too far if you don't feel like it. We wished we could have stayed longer.

nothing

Incredibly attentive staff and wonderful location with the perfect view of the sierra nevada, amazing value for money too!

Very good location. Near Minca center but far enough to be very calm place when you can relax and observe the nature. The view from the room was amazing - it's an attraction itself. Additionally the room is big and comfortable. You also have a warm water in the shower which is not that common in the area. The owner is very helpful so if you need any information or help he can always assist you

We had a great time at casa pistacho and enjoyed very much our balcony with great view and lots of birds to watch, even Tucans. We also liked to be a little outside of Minca but still not too far so you could easily walk in 15 Min to town. The rooms are quite new and there is free coffee, water and a fridge and microwave to use.

The bathroom was not very clean for example the toilet, mirror and sink. Also there was still an old soap bar on the floor of the shower of a previous guest. The owner was helpful with everything and responded real quick on whatsapp but it would have been nice not to have to ask for anything in the first place like extra toilet paper or filling up the drinking water…

Loved the balcony and how peaceful it was. The same was very spacious too.

N/A

They cancelled last minute with a call saying that we were already warned that they didn't have availability. We booked through Booking, how would we be warned? Simply irrational...

Not respectful and serious business.

Absolutely stunning view from the balcony. Beautiful bathroom, comfy bed and great to have coffee/drinking water every day. Very friendly owner who obviously has put his heart and soul into it!

As is often the case for the best views, the location is a little far from town. 15 mins walking up hill on the main road (which is sometimes quite busy). It’s not a huge problem and is accurate in the listing but just one to note if this is an issue for you.

The most beautiful view from the balcony (and we checked out many places before this one!) The owner Pierre is super helpful and really went out of his way to accommodate us and whatever we needed.

Beautiful balcony and very silent early morning when you have your coffee and you feel you are middle of Amazon and beautiful birds round

The room is as depicted: fairly simple but spacious enough, basic ammenities like filtered water or coffee available in the common corridor. The balcony is charming and, thanks to a purpose-specific feeder, an ideal place to spot hummingbirds. Pierre, the host, advised us readily and helped us plan transportation and a birdwatching tour in town. Perhaps because of the location of the room (one level below the street), the noise of the street did not bother us at all. A few additional niceties from the place include: the option to order a generous breakfast and hot water in the shower (far from a given in Colombian "tierra caliente"—regions that are warm all year through).

Just to avoid surprises: a big part of the hotel is still under construction, which means the common area is very humble and the restaurant is still not there.

The host ware verry friendly and the comunication was easy. The view from the balkony was amazing. We would definitely go there again.

Beautiful view..spacious room

Will be amazing when the lodge is finished

Absolutely spectacular view from the balcony. The sound of nature was lovely and we saw lots of wildlife. The sunset was beautiful and on a clear day you can see all the way down to Santa Marta and the sea. It's an easy 20 min walk down into the town. The room was clean and the shower was the best we have had in Central and South America.

I don't think Casa Pistacho is quite finished yet. Some rooms are yet to be built and the terrace upstairs is under construction. In our room, the door didn't fit properly in the frame so we had to put something in front of it to keep it closed. In the night we had many insect visitors which is to be expected in the jungle, but they seemed to be coming through gaps in the wooden ceiling. A mosquito net would be good too. If these issues can be resolved Casa Pistacho will be a real gem in Minca.
