We’ve stayed in some amazing hostels during our eight years of travel, however none can compare to the extraordinary location that we just recently just stayed: La Serrana Eco-Farm as well as Hostel in the coffee region of Salento, Colombia. In our opinion, if you don’t stay here, you’re missing out!
Note: We weren’t paid to compose this evaluation as well as we didn’t get a complimentary stay. We paid for our space just like you…but we liked it so much that we felt it deserved this write-up! ?

La Serrana has many space options: camping in your own tent, camping in their high-end tents, dorm rooms, personal spaces with shared bathroom, personal spaces with ensuite bathroom, as well as our space which was really in a separate house, about a 7 minute walk down a dirt road from the primary hostel.
Our home was called “Las Camelias”, as well as it was showed 2 other rooms. We were in the King space as well as it was spectacular!

From our bed, we looked out with a big window at the mountains across the way. The sun beating in the window in the morning was the very best method to wake up! during the freezing evenings when it was raining, we would light a terminate in our personal fireplace as well as fracture open a bottle of wine.
The bed was comfortable as well as the connected shower room was a bonus.

We likewise had gain access to to the entire farmhouse, with the other two couples who were staying in the other rooms. We had some fantastic housemates! The living space was full of comfortable furniture, one more fireplace, a big dining space table as well as a kitchen area for us all to use.

A big breakfast of eggs, toast, fruit as well as coffee was included in the space rate as well.

The Landscapes
If you love vast mountain ranges, deep valleys as well as a tranquil atmosphere, then this location is for you.

This area receives rather a bit of rain, so the hills are a lively eco-friendly colour as well as are exceptionaLly rehevä.
La Serrana-sisäänkäynnin näkymät
Jopa sateisen / pilvisen sään aikana olimme kunnioitusta ympäristöstämme, varsinkin kun sumu nousisi laaksokerroksesta tuottamaan eerie-ilmapiiri!
Vietimme paljon iltapäiviä sekä varhain aamuisin, jossa on kahvia kädessä, viehättävä harha lemmikkikoira meidän puolellamme sekä upeat näkymät edessä. Tämä hostelli oli niin rauhallinen.
Paras kahvin alue – tämä lemmikkikoira oli niin ihana!

Kustannusten jälkeen 7 yötä La Serrana Hostel Salentossa voimme rehellisesti sanoa, että se on paljon rakastettu majoitus tähän mennessä. Henkilöstö lähti menetelmänsä avustamaan meitä kaikenlaiseen ja kaikki huolenaiheet, joita meillä oli, samoin kuin he olivat nautintoa. Asuin tai kaupallinen omaisuus oli niin suuri, että vaikka hostelli oli täynnä samankaltaisia backpackers, se ei koskaan tuntenut tungosta.
Jotta voi olla oma bitti maatila, takka, joka todella lisätään viehättävään ja rauhalliseen tunteeseen alueella. Meillä on äärimmäisen ehdotus, että pysyt täällä matkan aikana Salentoon, mutta varataan, tämä sijainti kirjoja nopeasti, joten jos suunnittelet matkaa tähän alueeseen, ehdottomasti varaa eteenpäin, jos haluat pysyä La Serrana?
Jälleen meille ei maksettu tämän, samoin kuin emme saaneet ilmaista oleskelua La Serranalla! Se oli aivan niin uskomatonta, että halusimme jakaa sen kanssasi. Kippis!
