Las Mirlas is a beautiful estate 5 mins by car, our 25 mins on foot outside of Salento. Jhon and La Negrita took great care of us, delicious breakfasts and good talks :) Everything is spotless.

John and his wife were amazing at receiving us. They would come everyday. Cook us. Amazing breakfast care for our stay and be very attentive to to us. The place is in nature, it's very authentic. We truly enjoyed our stay in Salento because of it.

This place was a magical little spot. Jhon, the owner, showed great attention to detail in the property, which also helped to unwind. PS: The breakfast was delicious and the coffee from their own farm was phenomenal!

The hosts are exceptional so welcoming and the breakfast was delicious, they were always fast and happy to reply to any questions and give us the best suggestions to take the most out of the stay, we will definitely be back

“Great Place to stay”

Great location in nature just outside of Salento. The personalized service offered by the hosts is outstanding.

“Excellent!”

The owners made our stay at the guesthouse unforgettable. They helped us with a new rental car when ours broke down. It was very kind of them and we are very grateful! The hostess prepared the most delicious breakfast. So delicious! I hope we will meet again someday! The location of the guesthouse is also great, halfway to the valley. The nature is so beautiful and the sunrises from the cottage are amazing! We felt very private in our cottage, there was also hot water. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable and the sleep was good. We are very happy that we chose this guesthouse.

“Great location, host and food”

Perfect stay, right in the middle between salento and valle del cocora, so the location is great! The host is super nice, great breakfast and a good place to chill to!

“Excellent place to relax and enjoy the nature”

The nature surrounding the place, and the beautiful views you get to see from the place. Also it's an amazing place to rest. I've never had better sleep!

“Superb situation”

The hotel is perfectly situated at the entrance to the beautiful Cocora valley. From our room we looked across open fields and enjoyed the fireflies at night. Luisa was wonderful and cooked us lovely breafasts. We stayed for four nights and enjoyed cycling, horseriding and walking. There's a beautiful path on the opposite side of the river which is well worth a late afternoon stroll.

“Lovely stay in a fantastic place!”

We absolutely loved our stay at Las Mirlas. The staff/ owners are super nice and we had fantastic conversations with them (even though we barely speak Spanish). This was a fantastic hotel to disconnect from electronics as there are not any TVs and the wifi was acting up, which wasn’t a problem for us (mobile data available for research of activities). The breakfast was freshly cooked on front of us and plenty. Fresh fruit every day! The hotel is a few minutes outside of Salento, which was fabulous for us to relax after an adventure filled day.

“Wonderful location in a quiet refuge near to Salento with good nature feels”

For an eco hotel, you need to expect you are a bit off the pueblo facilities, and with this given, they have a wonderful self sustaining unit in an area that bonds well with the surrounding nature.

“Peaceful friendly vibe in nature.”

The breakfast was fantastic and generous.

“Beautiful location and conveniently close to both Cócora Valley and town.”

Breakfast was superb. Decor and surroundings are beautiful.

“A shot of tranquillity”

The location is so dreamy. We only stayed one night, but I wish we had stayed a few more. There were little charms everywhere you looked and fantastic views. The houses themselves were beautiful and nestled into the countryside. There were hammocks, cards and games in the kitchen, outdoor seating. Behind our room was a stream which sent us to sleep very quickly. The wifi doesn't really reach the rooms, but it adds a sense of detachment from the rest of the world which is an attribute. The owner made us a delicious breakfast with local products and was so friendly. We chatted for ages and told us about when and how he built the eco lodge, using non-native trees from the area which is harmful to the surrounding ecosystem, so great to use for building. The rooms are simple, as should be expected. We slept very comfortably and enjoyed hot showers in the morning. It's a lovely scene close enough to salento to visit, but not be swallowed up in the crowds there, and is also en route to the valle de cocora, which we did in the morning. I felt rejuvenated after one night.

“The nature and resilience of Salento”

The quietness of the location, the originality of the structure makes you deeply feeling Salento and Colombia. Wake up in the morning with sound of nature and the perfume of the breakfast cooked by Jon and Diony is exactly a real experience. La mejor experiencia que podíamos tener se Salento! Totalmente recomandable!

“A great out of town location, we eventually got used to the twenty minute walk uphill which we used to work up an appeti”

very friendly owner and comfortable, clean accommodation

“Your place in nature just outside touristy Salento”

Great talks with Didier, cuddling with the cat Gris and the wonderful nature around.

“Beautiful place”

Clean and beautiful. The staff are very polite and friendly, good breakfast.

Great Host and Breakfast

“Relaxed and comfortable stay in the forest with super nice host!”

Our host Didier was super helpful and interested. He likes music, travel and nature, like us. He told us about the history of the property. It was once farmland, but the family decided to give this hill back to nature, also for animals to pass to the river. You can walk in the forest behind the ecolodge and explore nature as it is owned by the family. In the morning Didier will make a super nice breakfast and he can tell you more about what to do in the area. He is an early bird so you can have your breakfast at sunrise and go! And he wants to travel to Europe next year, so if you are from Europe and have any tips for him, let him know! The property is nice and quit away from the city center, but still close enough to walk (20 min). We will hopefully meet Didier or Salento again someday!
