    A beautiful, peaceful location surrounded by spectacular nature and close to the Poza Encantada and 15 minutes by motorbike to Playa Mendihuaca, the house was spacious and comfortable, the food was delicious, Alix and Brice were so warm and welcoming and really looked after us. The dogs and cats were also a hit with my daughter. A wonderful place to stay while exploring the local area.

    This place is really special and different from the other locations we stayed at during our travels in Colombia. It turned out being exactly what we expected when making the booking. Alix and Brice have created such a cozy and down to earth home in the hills of the amazing Sierra Nevada. The finca fits perfectly into the environment, which made us feel so at ease and so close to nature. We spent a precious time up there, having interesting talks with the two guys and other guests, being surrounded by lovely dogs and cats, enjoying the views over the landscape. The room was simple but clean and the bed was comfortable with a mosquito net (which is necessary, there are so many mosquitos in this area). The location is up in the hill. You can walk around 45 minutes or take a moto taxi from the main road, which is very convenient. The hosts will arrange moto taxis for you whenever needed.

    We loved our stay at Casa AliBri. Alex and Brix are incredibly welcoming and couldn't have been more obliging or helpful. The food is delicious and the location is fantastic, very off the beaten track. Our kids really enjoyed the stay and it will certainly be one of the highlights of our trip to Colombia. I'd recommend anyone who wants to go somewhere off the beaten track to stay at Casa AliBri.

    Our 6-night stay at Casa Alibri felt something like a soul retrieval. Here you will find all the essential ingredients of a bespoke vacation under the expert guidance of Alix and Brice, your exceptional hosts/ humans. With the diversity of activities available in in the local area there is curb appeal for all traveller profiles. However the tranquil setting of the property also lends itself naturally to the art of doing nothing, with its intentional fusion of beautiful food, meaningful connection, healing vistas and the jungle soundscape of the Sierra Nevada. While here you might find yourself contemplating what you have done to deserve your good fortune and the answer is probably not enough, but fortunately sometimes the universe provides anyway. Hours after our departure the pervasive sentiment was that of wonder and of loss. Casa Alibri truly is a Columbiam microcosm that reminds us of our unity and shared humanity. It beckons your return and your gratitude. Thank you.

    This is not the fault of the property but we would like to mention that the shower is cold (but you’re staying in the tropics so this is common) and there are bugs so bring bug spray!

    Our stay at Casa Alibri was fantastic. We were essentially invited into the home of Ali and Bri along with their cats and dogs. Prior to our arrival Ali was very responsive to our queries regarding how to get to their place (it’s a bus from Santa Marta and a motorbike taxi from the main road next to Parque Tayrona) and our dietary requirements. During our stay Bri cooked us some amazing vegan food using local ingredients. He also made us a great packed lunch for our trip into Parque Tayrona. We also got time to hang out with each of them and hear about their life which was a great personal touch. In terms of the place, our room was sparkling clean and nicely decorated. There are many communal spaces to enjoy the beautiful views surrounding the property. Water is provided for free and Ali and Bri offer food and some alcohol and soft drinks which was really handy. To top it off Ali took us on a mini tour of their grounds and for a private swim in their pool before our departure - this was incredible! This stay was one of the highlights of our trip and is unbelievable value for money.

    It’s hard to put into words how much we loved this place. Alix and Brice are absolutely amazing hosts, we ate like royalty, the animals will steal your heart, the views are spectacular and the rivers around the property were absolutely stunning. We originally chose this place because it was close to tayrona but ended up not even going because we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave !

    The best accommodation I've stayed in a long long time. Beautiful surroundings, close enough to Tayrona and Costeno beach, lots of birds and beautiful nature all around with no one else in sight. The hosts were incredible and welcoming, making the place very homely. The food (as vegetarians) was some of the best we've had here.

    Alix and Brice are incredible hosts who go to every effort to ensure you can make the most of your stay, whatever your plans! Briefly, the location is amazing - close to Tyrona National Park but still far enough off the beaten track so that you feel as if you’re in a private part of the forest. The noises of the wildlife in the evening are amazing, especially whilst. relaxing in the hammock and watching the sunset. The food is always excellent and will leave you wondering whether you ever want to leave. Definitely try the fish as it’s sourced locally and tastes incredible. I think it’s the perfect retreat to spend a few nights and change pace if you’ve been spending lots of time in busy hostels. Even when all rooms are occupied the hostel still feels spacious and private. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and there’s plenty to do in the surround area - just ask your hosts for any recommendations! Thank you so much for an perfect stay!!!🫶

    If you are wondering whether or not to stay here please stop and just BOOK IT NOW!! Alix and Brice were both amazing. We loved our stay here and it will definitely be one of the highlight of our entire 6 months travelling. We were recommended to stay here and we were so glad that we did. It is a little slice of heaven with incredible views, a gorgeous secluded nearby swimming spot in the river and wonderful hosts. Brice cooked us amazing and affordable vegan food for our whole stay with delicious fresh ingredients from their finca. There is a gorgeous hammock spot overlooking the mountains, also with a view of the sea. Although they were having a problem with their electricity (and we were told in advance of staying) we decided to stay anyway. They worked extra hard to make sure we were comfortable on our stay regardless, evening arranging a day trip down the river which we all did together. Would absolutely stay again in the future. Perfection.

    Nothing!

    Perfect place to relax in nature with amazing hosts. We wanted somewhere to recover after doing the Lost City Trek, and we chose the ideal place. The area has so much wildlife, and the natural pool nearby is great to cool off. There's lots of places to relax, read etc, and having so many animals around makes a really nice atmosphere. The food was great and both Alix and Brice were really kind hosts. It's very secluded, so there's nothing much nearby (like shops etc) but that's exactly what we wanted! The dogs are very friendly and sweet too. We would definitely recommend, hopefully we can return one day!

    Relaxing paradise in the jungle where you will feel like family

    • Family with young children

    • Stayed 2 nights

    As others have mentioned, a door or curtain of some type to give the bathroom some privacy would be nice.

    Casa AliBri is a little piece of paradise that Alix and her brother, Brice, have created in the jungle. Away from it all (about 30 minutes up a bumpy dirt road), but close enough to enjoy all that the area has to offer (Tayrona, inner tubing down the Don Diego river, and respectfully visiting a Kogui village with a guide - all of which Alix was instrumental in organizing), Casa AliBri is also an easy 15 min walk to the magical Poza Encantada waterfall and swimming hole (so you can have the place to yourselves before others arrive). Although "no-frills", Casa AliBri is a special place with comfortable beds where you will feel like family, hanging out with their animals, chatting with the other guests over the delicious meals-to-order by Brice, a professional chef, taking in the sweeping views of the jungle and sea, the incredible star-filled skies, with nothing but the sound of birdsong. Highly recommend.

    The location and the atmosphere. We arrived, both feeling ill and exhausted from the lost city trek and couldn’t have wished for a better place to recover. Alix and Breece welcomed us with open arms, prepared food and drinks to make us feel beter and we recovered fully in their wonderful and remote paradise. Would recommend it to any one, definitely our highlight of Colombia.

    We recently stayed at Casa Alibri which is located an hour's walk from the beach, and we were blown away by its tranquil surroundings, the beautiful views of both the mountains and the sea. The hosts were incredibly lovely and made sure we had a comfortable stay. The food was amazing and really added to the overall experience. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway. The added bonus of a beautiful nearby river with waterfalls where you can swim is just the cherry on top!
