Patio del Mundo

0 1 2 3 4

A delightful upmarket boutique hotel in a tranquil garden oasis in a smart Medellin neighbourhood.

Patio del Mundo is a charming boutique hotel tucked away in woodland gardens just a few minutes’ walk from Medellín’s El Poblado, where you’ll find plenty of top quality restaurants, boutiques and bars.

It’s set in two renovated villas, and each classically-furnished room is subtly decorated to reflect the traditional décor of contrasting destinations, including France, Africa and Mexico.

The accent is on relaxation: there’s a hot tub, yoga, beauty and spa treatments; you can swing in a hammock on the terrace and take breakfast on the patio, surrounded by tropical foliage. Indeed, with orchids and mango trees on display, you’ll hardly believe you’re on the edge of a huge city.

Our favourite organised trip was probably Cocora Valley. Absolutely stunning and the trek was tough, but well worth it. Our guide knew a lot about the wildlife and flowers too
MB, Oxford Nov 2019
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 Aug 2019
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.
