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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

Everything was perfect

Staying on Don Diego’s farm is a truly unique experience. He is a kind and caring man, completely devoted to preserving his 750 acres of land (50 % rain forest including wax palms) that has been passed down over five generations. The farm house is beautiful and authentic, the breakfast is delicious, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Don Diego can connect you with a driver and with other experiences in the Cocora Valley so make sure to contact him about experiences well before you arrive. The four-hour horseback ride is OUTSTANDING, including a glass of wine at the top of the mountain. I am so grateful for our stay at the Reserva Guadalajara, the highlight of our trip to Colombia.

Considering the distance ( by walk) from the city centre I would rather have a small fridge in the bedroom to keep my drinks cold at night.

From the beginning the experience with Diego was straight forward, welcoming & concise in all aspects, just how we like! He knew we were arriving late and he left clear instructions to get to our room that made the process super easy! We did the horse riding and it was fantastic, literally very enjoyable, challenging and exiting in every way. The breakfast was very local, natural, delicious and generous. Jenny and all the team were kind and paid attention to small details which made us feel well taken care of. Arriving to Reserva Guadalajara from Salento center is an easy stroll and the good part is that it is away from all the noise from tourists.

It was all perfect.

Our stay at Reserva Guadalajara was so great. We enjoyed every second of it. Diego and his staff were very Kind and supported us in all regards. Additionally the breakfast and Dinner was really good. We also booked the horse ride with Diego in which we did not only enjoy the nature, views and wine but also learned so much about the nature. The Trip was one of our Columbia Highlights!

The most magical place. Diego is an incredible host and his property is beautiful. We stayed for 3 nights on his beautiful farm and had such a pleasant stay. Could not recommend this place enough! The horse riding tour was fabulous! You can milk the cows and everything to see in this area is close by. Such a peaceful and beautiful place outside of the touristic Salento.

Nothing!

It’s paradise. Don’t expect a big screen in your room or laundry service, but a true, authentic and very comfortable stay at a fantastic place. It’s truly paradise. The staff and owner are very helpful and kind, the beds are great, the atmosphere is wonderful and don’t skip on the horseback ride: once in a lifetime experience. Loved it, PARAISO!

Set in the beautiful Cocora Valley. Diego and his team were the best. Always wanting to go the extra mile for their guests. Food was also lovely and very fairly priced. A great stay if you want an authentic experience, very relaxing as well. Definitely opt for the horse riding!

The bathroom could use a little bit more maintenance and the common areas could be a bit cleaner and more organized.

The place is magical but the best part is the energy it has. Diego the host is a wonderful human being! He makes the stay and the horse ride magical! And all the other guests were wonderful too. A truly magical place and stay!

Beautiful Finca near Salento. We had a great time. Diego & the staff are super friendly. Highlight of our stay: The horseriding tour. This was just the 3rd time for me as a beginner, but I felt very comfortable on my horse (Apollo <3). Everything was so well organized and the views are spectacular. Highly recommended!

I would prefer more extensive food options including snacks or light meals as without a car it's hard to find anything nearby.

The horse riding opportunity and to be amongst the farm. I even helped with milking (very badly) was exceptional and created deep and happy memories. Riding in his enormous reserva was unique. Getting up in the morning and finding horses on the driveway waiting to get to their field, is the stuff of dreams.

Fantastic views, very clean, great facilities, lovely place to stay.

Really nice farmstay. The kids got to play with the dogs, two big German Shepards, and be part of the milking of the cows in the morning. We also got to meet the calves and horses that worked on the farm. We also went up to Cocora Valley and rode on horses. Our guide Diego was fantastic, and the horses amazing.
