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

Hacienda Venecia is a working coffee plantation which has opened its doors to visitors with the sort of friendly welcome you can expect from Colombians. You almost feel like you are visiting friends. In fact, the idea is that guests mingle socially: meals are taken communally around a kitchen table. The wraparound veranda with hammocks and rocking chairs is the perfect place to sit back and relax enjoying 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 – mud, straw and brick all feature.  The buildings are surrounded by pleasant gardens with bird-spotting trails and in which there is a pool.

Tours of the coffee plantation are offered, you have to pre-book a private one or you can join in a group when you are there.

What our clients say

  • it was all very good For me, Colombia stands out as No.1 (I hoped it would be, even before I set off, and it was)

    FD, Sandwich
  • Our time in the South West (Huila and Cauca departments including the Tatacoa Desert, San Agustin, Popayan and Purace National Park) stood out. It was the most rewarding in terms…

    DE, Wilmslow
  • Highlight?: The local knowledge of the guides and their willingness to adapt to our needs. We were taken to places that were not part of the schedule. E.g. Local restaurants

    SD, Esher
  • San Agustin and Isnos were amazing expereinces: cultures I knew nothing about and memorable sites and monuments.

    DG, Sheffield
  • The whole trip was really enjoyable, the amount of wildlife (turtles, crocodiles, armadillo, anteater, monkeys etc etc!) and scenery we saw met all expectations. All well organised and minor problems…

    HT, Cardiff
  • Highlights?: Salt cathedral at Zipaquira, Communa 13 in Medellin and the thermal springs in Purace NP

Our Expert's Opinion

I really enjoyed the informal, friendly atmosphere of this hacienda with its well-stocked honesty bar and communal dining tables with plentiful local food. It’s worth pre-booking onto one of their private tours around the coffee farm, the guides are very informative.
