“Fantastisch!”

Beautiful lodge. Build and taken care of with love. A short walk after crossing the river. Go swim in the river, lay in a hammock and enjoy. Iwan took very good care of us! Thank you.

“Overall good, but..”

Frana Lodge itself is an amazing remote lodge surrounded by nature and with 5 star service and cuisine. The hot shower was immense and the meals were some of the best we had during our time in Colombia.

What a magic spot! Thank you Franz!

“This lodge is truely something special!”

We enjoyed our stay and extended for 2 more days because we really didn‘t want to leave :) Fantastic food, amazing location next to the Nationalpark, a lot to explore nearby, nice hosts and a perfect accomodation with a lot of details. We would love to come back! :) Thank you for everything, Franz.

Peacefully located in the middle of the jungle You just need to know that in order to get there you need to cross the river (with water up to your knees) and then walk for about 20min. If you're OK with that, you should be very happy there :) Inspiring owners

“If you want to be close to nature in a very welcoming atmosphere this is the place”

One of the best places I’ve traveled to so far in Colombia, in the middle of nowhere more or less. Amazing surroundings and a lot to see and do nearby. The Tayrona national park is also pretty close. Very helpful staff and incredibly good food for a reasonable price. Also the staff is very helpful to help you if you have any questions about the area, what to see etc. You will also have to cross a river to get there which is an experience by itself. You are surrounded by beautiful nature everywhere! The facilities are very nice as well, I stayed in the cabin which is located a bit outside of the main lodge. Very cozy and private with lots of space. I already miss this place! So happy to have been here and would love to come back! Thanks for the friendly and cozy atmosphere.

“Beautiful jungle lodge”

Beautiful location in the middle of the jungle. With stunning views from the different terraces. The owners were friendly and gave us useful tips about what to do and where to go.

“Lovely lodge in the middle of the jungle”

Frana Lodge is a very beautiful accomodation in the middle of the jungle. Franz and Ana did a great job to create a beautiful hideout from all the fuss around (e.g., Tayrona, Santa Marta). Everything about the lodge was lovely: the huge cabin in the forest where we stayed at, the main area with a lot of hammocks and the newly build terrace. There are some marvellous views into the mountains. Everything was very clean and beautifully furnished. Franz is very attentive and helpful. The way to the accomodation can be a bit tiring (it took us around 25 minutes), but it is definitely worth it, especially if you stay more than one night (what we would recommend!). When we arrived, we were picked up from the bus so that we could find the way easily. Note that you have to cross a river with the water as high as your thighs, so dress appropriately (Franz told us that they are currently building a bridge, so this could change soon). The food was tasty and even included some proper bread for breakfast.

“Completely unique and beautiful experience!”

This was my favourite place to stay in Colombia! It is such a unique place, nestled in the rainforest about a 15min walk (through beautiful lush forest) from the main road where the park entrance is. I visited the park but I think the location of this guest house is more beautiful and much less touristy. Nearby you can find a couple of lovely hidden restaurants, a cacao cafe and cacao finca where you can have tours. The owners at Frana are such genuine, warm-hearted people and made me feel like I was being welcomed into their own home. Delicious home-cooked food, good wine, lovely company. Cannot recommend this more if you’re looking for a relaxing time in nature 😊

“Magical place in the middle of nature”

We loved absolutely everything at Frana Lodge. Franz and Anni are extremely caring with their guests. From the thoroughly organized welcome, help with carrying luggage, helping out with rental car reservation, tips on what to do around (don’t miss to go bade in the river), the amazing food, and much more. We sleep like babies in the middle of beautiful nature. Frana lodge is a magical place where your soul can rest. The cherry on the cake (if you love animals) are the super kind and sweet cats and dogs.

Beautiful jungle Lodge near Parque Tayrona. You need to walk 15 tot 20 minutes to get there, and pass a river, but this is part of the experience. The house is located away from the road and the noise , you can only hear the birds and the monkeys. Warm welcome by the owners and they can help you if you have questions about the park or transportation. , Nice breakfast and lovely dinner. Highly recommended.

“We loved our stay at Frana Lodge, from the adventure of having to cross two rivers to get into the property to the beaut”

The beautiful setting. And Franz and Ani were wonderful hosts

The way to the lodge is the first highlight. It goes through the jungle and across 2 rivers. The rooms are spacious and very clean. You really feel like you're sleeping in the jungle. It's the perfect place for people looking for peace and quiet. For us it really was a unique experience in the middle of nature. It's only about 20 minutes to Tyron National Park. Franz and Ani are very helpful and help with everything. We felt very comfortable and welcome. The staff are all very nice and the food was very good. A big plus was the massage that Franz organised after our hike in the national park. These 2 nights were the best days for us in Colombia. Many thanks to you both! We wish you all the best.

If you plan to visit parque tayrona...this is the answer. Fantastic location for early park access. Franz and his wife made the stay perfect with their warmth of welcome, and any help needed. Perfectly clean and comfortable (Not one mosquito bite !)

Franz and Ana are just great hosts that make you feel very welcome from the first moment. The lodge is one of the few locations that actually look exactly like in the photos! Great food for breakfast and dinner at very reasonable prices. Would love to return one time!

“Litterally a small paradise in a natural forest”

Frana Lodge is located in a fantastic place in the forest, very peaceful but full of green nature and chanting animals. Very nice spaces to enjoy and rest, amazing river on the side, cheerful reception, delicate food.

“Beautiful location, excellent food, really nice room, lovely people.”

The view is amazing! The people are really nice and the food they made was delicious. They took great care of me and helped me with everything I needed. I wish I would have had time to stay a few days longer, didn’t want to leave at all!

It is a paradise in absolutely every way! Wonderful hosts who also speak English and German, excellent food - and you're in the middle of great nature! A drama that I couldn't stay any longer.

“The best place to stay in Tayrona”

Frana lodge was our favourite place to stay in Colombia. The lodge itself is absolutely beautiful and is surrounded by nature (we saw monkeys almost every day). Franz and Ana went out of their way to make us feel very at home - lending us yoga mats, arranging an airport taxi and even getting mosquito spray for us! Ana’s cooking was delicious, including fresh and locally sourced ingredients. We ate almost every meal at the lodge which we would definitely suggest doing as it is very reasonable priced. The homemade mango juice was the best we have ever had! The rooms are comfortable and have amazing views of the jungle, being able to see the mountains from the shower is incredible. Franz gave us a tour of the land, helpful recommendations to explore the surrounding area and tips for our day trip to Tayrona national park. The other staff at the property were also very friendly and helped us carry our bags from the main road to the property, which was the start of our amazing adventure here! We couldn’t recommend this place more.

One of our best places we stayed in Columbia. Franz and his wife Anni are so massive friendly. Franz picked us up to his amazing place in the middle of the jungle. He even walked with us for a wile around the place showed us place to relax and swim. We had nice conversations during the night. The food was amazing and the rooms are clean and modern. You really can relaxe there before or after your tayrona visit. We fully can recommend this place.
