Casa Terra

0 1 2 3 4 5 6

A charming and tranquil boutique hotel several blocks from Villa de Leyva’s main square.

Casa Terra is a restored family home built in typical Spanish colonial style with whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and wooden balconies. Rooms are spacious, filled with light and decorated individually with rural Colombian motifs.

An excellent breakfast is served al fresco and although there isn’t a restaurant, you’re only a short walk away from plenty of options in town. Loungers and seating can be found dotted around the pretty gardens, and a cosy sitting room with a fireplace is the perfect antidote for those chilly altitude evenings.

What our clients say

Colombia was superb. A wonderful variety of scenery and cultures, and people trying their hardest to live normal lives and welcome visitors very genuinely.
JK, Basingstoke Mar 2014
Highlight?: The coffee region and Cartagena were both spectacular to visit. Mompos was lovely and worth making the effort to get to.
IR, London Sep 2017
Highlight: Cartagena: as romantic a destination as I had hoped.
DG, Sheffield Feb 2016
Colombia is a fascinating country with very friendly people. It is opening up to tourism, after years of conflict, and offers the prospect of an exciting, varied and economic holiday.
JH, Chester Feb 2017
Highlights?: I cannot really think of anything that wasn't memorable. Perhaps my overriding memory is of the friendliness and helpfulness of the ordinary Colombians I encountered.
DM, Nottingham Jan 2018
San Agustin (was the highlight)...which was superb.
