We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Doris and her cousin were so warm and welcoming and helped us in every way from arranging transport to arranging excursions. The surroundings were beautiful, the food delicious and fresh and the horse rides with Hector were the best we have ever done with spectacular views and well trained horses.

Our host Doris was extremely friendly, thoughtful and helpful. Every morning a delicious and varied breakfast. We wish we had more time to enjoy the beautiful region around Salento from finca La Playa.

We loved this place! We felt like we were visiting family. Dora and her staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and always ready to help with any request or question we might have. It's wonderful to relax, spend some time at the finca, enjoy a wonderful hike to a waterfall in the surroundings or visit the Valle de Cocora or Salento, only 15 min drive. We definitely recommend this place!

Just keep in mind that the entrance is a rural 5 mins drive

The experience was unforgettable, the house is located in the middle of nature which allows you to enjoy the environment, many activities, morney coffee.. and 15 mins away from Salento and el Cocora. As colombian, really recommend it! Especially the owners (two sisters) are extremely friendly and will make you feel at home!

Please note, that the Finca is located about 1.5km km away from the main road to Salento and only accessible via a gravel road (4x4 not required).

First of all Doris is a fantastic host (i would rate her 11* if possible) and did absolutely everything to make our stay as comfortable and great as possible. She made us feel like a part of the family and helped with everything to make our stay a great experience, such as organizing transportation, trips and great food and drinks. Besides trips to Salento, coffee farms and the Cocora Valley, i can recommend to discover the area arround the finca incl. viewpoints and waterfalls on horseback with a guide, which was absolutely great (no experience required). The rooms are rather simple but very clean and equipped with good working hot showers, which is not always standard in Colombia. The breakfast is individually and freshly prepared and includes hot drinks, natural juice, fruit, eggs, bread, muesli and joghurt and differs every day. The finca offers transportation to Salento, which is a 10 min drive. All in all Finca la Playa is the perfect place, if you want to stay at an authentic finca in the middle of the stunning landscape of the Salento region.

Everything was too good.

The location is perfect and the stuff absolutely fantastic. We loved this accomodation and we would definitely recommend it to everybody. One of the best that we ever stayed in. The food was also great. They offer horseback riding and it was an amazing experience.

15 min of a very bumpy ride to get to the place. It is possible to rent a private shuttle in town for 25000 COP. I would recommend having your own véhicule, either a cross bike or a SUV.

The owners were amazing, very helpful and full of attention. We did not find a restaurant on Christmas Eve, and Doris cooked an incredible meal for us. The trucha was out of this world! The location is surrounded by beautiful nature and you will definitely get woken up by the cows mooing in the morning.

This was our favorite stay in our honeymoon. The Finca is very beautiful with real Campestre experience :) The owners were so kind and helpful to us, giving great advice for the area. I hope we will come back soon! Gracias!

There are so many great things to say about Finca La Playa but I have to start with the hosts. They turned the trip from visiting to Salento to visiting family in Salento. Both of them were so inviting and considerate. They took care of all of our questions, organized tours for us, gave us great suggestions and managed travel to and from the city. Oh and the food. We had dinner there every night, each night a different meal and each night so delicious. My wife and I are both so grateful to them and their Finca. It has been the highlight of our entire time in Columbia.

The property was amazing. It’s super well located just outside of Salento in the middle of a beautiful valley and close to the Cocora Valley. The rooms were just perfect for a family of 5 and very clean. The breakfast was amazing but above all the service was top of the bill

Finca la Playa is an incredible place, filled with magic and warmth. You are deep inside nature, and under the care of a beautiful family who runs this hotel. We are already hoping to return as soon as possible! Highly recommended on all counts.

The view was so beautiful

Stayed in January 2023

We had an incredible stay at Finca La Playa. The owners are so helpful - they stayed up late to accommodate our late check-in and coordinated drivers to both take us into Salento and drive us back when needed. The rooms are comfortable and the scenery is incomparable. Would highly recommend!

The open road to reach the float place it’s a little bit difficult to drive if you have a small car! but believe me , it’s worth it ;)

The place , the staff , the food and view were amazing. I can’t explain in words how amazing my stayed was and how much I loved the time I spent in this place. I can highly recommend this place to everyone who’s looking for a nice and pleasant place to rest from the noisy city.

Stayed in January 2023

Nothing, but keep in mind some organisation is needed to get there (by taxi or pick up) but the hosts are more than willing to help and even dropped us of sometimes free of charge.

We had a fantastic stay at Doris and Cielo’s place. They welcomed us with open arms, made us feel at home and helped plan and organise trips. They have a unique remote location, which is great to relax in the evenings and still visit Salento or Cocora during the day. In addition, the breakfast and dinner was wonderful. Thanks

Doris and Cielo are wonderful hosts and their Finca is a little piece of Heaven. The accommodations were comfortable and breakfasts were freshly prepared each morning. Doris was very helpful with booking transportation and arranging tours around the area. The natural surroundings and wildlife were spectacular.

You have to understand going into this that it is a rural property, with the quirks that come along with it. Water temperature in the shower flutters from warm to scolding when you turn on the sink for example. Also the location is a 10 minute drive to Salento, with not much else around… for us this was a positive, but it is something to note. With the right mindset and expectations you will not find a single negative about the property.

The lady who runs the Finca, Doris, defines good hospitality. Staying here was by far our favourite in Colombia. The “suite” has an epic panoramic view of the valley with Salento across. One morning we rode her horses up to the ridge and across the other side to a waterfall, which was fantastic. The food was humble, and felt like home. Always hot coffee, and tea. Doris always helped arrange transport to wherever we needed to go. Really, there is too much to say. We stayed here before doing a 4 day volcano hike but got bad altitude sickness and had to come back after 1 night. Doris welcomed us back with a hug, and a fantastic hot ginger drink so we felt better. There are cute dogs, a cat and even a parrot on property. Every morning and evening you watch the humming birds feed. At night there is only the sound of crickets and farm animals, it’s great. If you’ve read this far into the review, book it, you will not regret it.

We do not have any complaints at all.

We like everything! Doris and her sister made us feel like at home. They are so kind, lovely, respectful, detail oriented. All meals were delicious! La Finca is beautiful and clean. Even our two dogs had a great time there.

The experience at the Finca was great, the hosts treated us as family, were super attentive and took care that we have a great experience. The horse riding to the top of the hill was wonderful.
