We had a good stay at Finca Altamira.  Flavio, the owner, is very friendly and told us all about the history of the finca and the surrounding area.  Really interesting stuff if you're interested in the Zona Cafetera.  The free breakfast was absolutely amazing.  Best we had in our 3-week trip around Colombia.  All organic, about five different dishes and huge portions.  Really, really delicious.  The only downside is the rooms are really basic for how much you're paying. Overall, a really unique place to stay.  

P.S. Be sure to watch out for the road signs on the way there, and veer left when there is a fork in the road.  It is not clearly marked, and we got lost for about an hour on the back roads!

Great host and history, but rooms are expensive for what you get

Finca Altamira is a very rustic/authentic stay in 150 year old cafetero housing. The rooms are sufficient, there is hot water for the showers, and Internet worked fine. Flavio is a really great host and is striving to be truly eco-friendly. Our delicious breakfast was all sourced within 3km of our rooms. It's only about 10 min drive from Jericó but be sure not to miss the left hand turn at his sign.... Or you'll end up deep in the campo on a dirt road!

Authentic Cafetero stay

if you want to rest, live the comfort of nature and experience local hospitality this is the place to go in Jerico. 
Me and my husband went to Jerico for a short weekend in december and we had a great time.Don Flavio and Natalia are amazing hosts!!!! they are always ready to help you, give you information about where to go to visit, they even went with us to show us around the coffee plantations. They were always ready to help with a smile.
The Farm is very well maintained, clean and located in a very peaceful place. You could see the chains of mountains around and  just relax. The farm is also short walk from the town.
I highly recommend this place not only because the peaceful surroundings, good locations, but also because the EXCELLENT hosts and attention we received during our stay.

Nature, hospitality and Rest

Hosts Flavio and Natalia ensure a wonderful Colombian country-style getaway with attentiveness in secure, serene surroundings. Viewing the morning sunrise from the balcony of your room is something to behold amidst the mountains, tropical fruit trees, coffee fields, and soothing sounds of warbling birds.

At 8 am an authentic Antioquian breakfast is served with organic coffee and large cup of homemade hot chocolate, along with arepas, spreads, egg tortillas, sometimes fish, or other a.m. delights. Two friendly canines, a rooster, some hens, and a few geese round out the local residents.

The rooms are a bit small but warm in ambiance, with thick wool blankets for warmth at night. Shower temp is sufficiently warm but not hot, internet connection fairly consistent but slow if you need to up or download. In addition, Flavio built a separate, circular steam room with aromatics to detox or decompress from a hike down to the river or up the road. 

Flavio is quite gregarious and eager to engage in conversation, while Natalia reclusively stays in the background, discretely providing the meals and housekeeping. 

An ideal and idyllic getaway overall.

Comfort, Tranquility, Scenic Views, & Delicious Breakfasts

If you are looking for comfort and luxury, Finca Altamira may not for you. However, this charming little finca hotel brings a different kind of comfort... one that allows its guests to relax and enjoy nature and life. Finca Altamira is owned and operated by a local, Don Flavio, who will go to great lengths to make sure his guests enjoy their experience in the famous little pueblo, Jerico. The finca has been in his family for generations, and sections of the finca date back to over 150 years. The hotel is nestled in the woods on top of a mountain about 2 kms from the center of Jerico. The last 1/2 km of the trek to the finca are quite challenging for a conventional vehicle with low clearance to the ground.

Altamira has 12 small units located on the ground floor, and a few on the second floor of the main building. The buildings surround a common courtyard, and porch chairs are located outside each room for the comfort of hotel guests. A pavilion next to the wooded area of the property serves as the dining/breakfast room for hotel guests. Although the hotel only serves a complimentary breakfast, take out "domicilio" can be called in for lunch and dinner. BTW, our free breakfast was delightful, and included a tasty quiche, fresh fruit, arepa and outstanding local organic coffee. The finca also has a steam room for the use of its guests... unfortunately, it was not working very well during our stay. 

The rooms are quite small... however, every unit has its own private bath. My wife and I occupied a double that was decorated with the bare essentials... including a TV that was at least 20 years old and had a selection of 2 channels. (We weren't staying there to watch TV anyway.} However, the complimentary WIFI was pretty good throughout the complex, and saved me some pesos on my data card. We got a good night's sleep because of the tranquility afforded by the natural environs of Altamira... and also by the fact that we were just plain tired. The beds were ample, but if you are not used to a hard bed, you may have trouble sleeping. Honestly, I probably could not handle more than 1 or 2 nights of my bed. It's probably a good idea to think of your stay at the finca as a camping trip... and your expectations of this finca hotel will be more realistic. Bring a jacket, it gets chilly at night. The bathrooms are a little tight... but we had plenty of hot water. (Most finca hotels do not.)

Overall our stay at Finca Altamira was fun and enjoyable... largely due to the hospitality we sensed from Don Fabio and his wonderful staff. There is no doubt that my wife and I will return to this finca hotel on our next trip... perhaps mixing a night or two at the finca with a stay in one of the "downtown" hotels. If you enjoy nature, and do not require too many creature comforts, then Finca Altamira may be for you.
