“A memorable experience on a family-run coffee farm in beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Highly recommended.”

Great welcome from Hacienda owners Carolina and Jorge. La Gaviota is in beautifully tranquil surroundings and we had an excellent coffee tour.

The hosts were wonderful people who were very helpful. We had a great tour of the farm and drank loads of fantastic coffee. It is very quiet, peaceful and very dark at night. They have starlink internet so it's very reliable. We wanted somewhere off the beaten path to unwind and this place was perfect.

This is just a paradise! We had 2 great days at the Hacienda. The hoasts are super nice, speak English (our Spanish wouldn't have been good enough to understand all the interesting coffee facts ;)) and we loved the coffee tour and tasting we did. The rest of the day's we spend with walking around the farm or just relaxing at the terrace and reading books. The perfect place for a 'coffee break' in paradise.

“Perfect weekend in a coffee farm with amazing hosts and incredible espresso. Includes coffee tours.”

Excellently located in the middle of their own coffee farm.

“Not only coffee...”

Great place to relax, the owners are very helpful and flexible. They provide also delicious lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. There is a small Shop in walking distance to the property. Beautiful landscape, birds and hummingbirds around the place. Jorge and Carolina are true professionals with a huge knowledge and you can ask them anything related to the Coffee traditions.

“Perfect for a relaxing stay in a traditional coffee "finca"”

A really amazing place for anyone looking for a more authentic stay in Colombia's coffee region. Carolina and Jorge were very nice and welcoming and the place was perfect for what we were looking for. Really good, traditional breakfast every day, beautiful view from the window of our place and lots of peace and quiet. Jorge and Carolina also did a tour of the coffee plantation with a coffee tasting session that was really enjoyable. Hope to stay here again!

“A Less Commercial Coffee Finca Experience WIth Great Hosts”

An historic, rustic, coffee finca at the end of the road with great views. The personal touches and friendliness of the owners. The complimentary tour of the finca and coffee making process. Being able to wander around the farm past the growing coffee, avocado, platanos, papaya, citrus etc. Enjoying a cold beer with an evening meal prepared by Carolina whilst relaxing in the communal space at the finca. Being entertained by the antics of the 3 friendly dogs - Frost, Niña and Milagros!

“A gem in the coffee triangle and one of the best experiences of my life!”

WOW. The time that i spent at the finca was definitely the most memorable experience I had during my entire trip to Colombia. First of all this is not a hotel, this is Jorge and his beautiful wife's house. You share a day in their lives and experience the real coffee farm life with them and they definitely go out of their way to make u feel welcome and comfortable. There are only 3 rooms in the house so if you are lucky enough to find an available room, don't hesitate and book it! The finca is surrounded by coffee trees. The price you pay includes a traditional breakfast, a coffee farm tour as well as a real Barista class where you get to make coffee with 5 different tools and have a tasting afterwards with Jorge. There are plenty of nice hikes aronud the house as well and absolutely no other tourists around. They were very kind to prepare a traditional lunch and give me a ride back to chinchina too. If you are after a real coffee experience and no touristy stuff, i recommend you choose to stay with them and witness a day in their life.

“Absolute highlight of my trip to the eje cafetero, a little paradise!”

This place is paradise! Carolina and Jorge welcomed me like family and made me feel completely at home there. You can feel how excited they are about their place and coffee also during the tour, which they arrange for whenever is good for you! Same goes for all meals by the way, which were delicious too. If you look for a refreshing break in your trip, do come here for a few days! Muchas gracias por todo :)

Everthing just true like in the other comments, incredible place with incredible hosts, beyond perfect!

“The perfect end to our bicycle tour of the coffee region!”

We stayed at La Gaviota on the final night of a 6 day bicycle tour of the coffee region. It was quite remote, but we all felt it was entirely worth it - the ride to the farm from Marsella was gorgeous. Then, the next day, we cycled over Alta de la Mina, down to the highway, and to our pre-arranged ride back to Salento. Our hosts were very accommodating with dinner and then we had our coffee farm tour in the morning. The coffee tour was quite interesting -the history of how coffee came to this area of Colombia was quite interesting and it was apparent that our hosts, Carolina and George have a passion for their way of life. We even got to try our hand at various ways to prepare coffee. My only suggestions to other travelers is to be familiar with how remote the farm is, but I assure you it is well worth the trip! Also, do not order a glass of wine with dinner since you will need to buy the entire bottle and this was not communicated in advance. I did not complain since the overall value of the accommodation plus coffee tour was very good.

Jorge and Carolina are very friendly owners and are super passionate about coffee. I hope to see them again one day.
