Hacienda Venecia

0 1 2 3 4

Hacienda Venecia is a working coffee plantation which welcomes visitors in a sociable atmosphere.

Hacienda Venecia is a working coffee plantation with trademark Colombian hospitality. You almost feel like you are visiting friends; guests mingle while taking meals communally around the kitchen table.

The wraparound veranda with hammocks and rocking chairs is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the tranquillity. There are half a dozen brightly-decorated guest rooms in the main house, which has a very rural feel as it is constructed from bahareque, similar to adobe.

The buildings are surrounded by pleasant gardens with a pool, as well as bird-watching trails. Tours of the coffee plantation are offered; you must pre-book a private tour or join a group tour.
