Hotel Delirio Campestre

The hotel offers a great deal with awesome and modern bungalows, which are surrounded by dozens of paradise bird flowers and other species of Heliconeas. Great place to relax in a hamac Food is good and staf is very gentle and helpful, as most of the people of the region. Location is also very convenient. Just a couple of minutes from Montenegro, the Parque del Cafe and Panaca, and very close to other beautiful towns like Quimbaya and Filandia. We actually saw a couple of little Guatins playing in the garden behind a Zapote treat.

We stayed at Casa Delirio for three nights while we were exploring the Coffee Region. We had a wonderful welcome with a tour of the property and coffee, and our room was prepared early so we could check in slightly ahead of time. Our room was very comfortable, with a large bed, good sized bathroom, safe, good Wi Fi and TV, which only seemed to have Colombian channels. We didn’t have a safe in our room. The room was in a colonial style from a converted outbuilding, so as a result it had old windows and doors which had some gaps so if you really don’t like insects this may be an issue. There was no air conditioning, but there was a fan, and we had no issue with the room being too hot. The walls are thin, so if you have noisy neighbours, you may be unhappy as you can hear their conversations quite easily. Most of the staff don’t speak much English but one lady who is there does. All the staff are friendly and keen to help and offer excellent service and we are especially grateful for them rescuing us with umbrellas in a sudden thunderstorm. The food is excellent and simple, made with fresh ingredients and very tasty and very reasonably priced by international standards. The only downside to the catering is that the mealtimes are limited and relatively early due to the place being small. This could potentially be inconvenient but there were also a couple of occasions, maybe with it being a holiday time over Easter, that we felt rushed to order and eat, even though we were well within the times allocated to eat, which was the only times we felt anything other than very happy during our stay. The property has very nice grounds that you can relax in and a small pool, a nice hacienda style dining room and open-air bar and with just eight rooms the place means service will be attentive and the place relatively quiet even when it is busy. There are a couple of dogs around, so if you are not happy with animals be aware of this. If you don’t have a car, the location could be an issue, it’s a ten-minute walk to the local town, but the road outside is very busy and there is no pavement. You would need a vehicle to get elsewhere. Staying onsite is a pleasure. It’s very relaxing and a really nice place to base yourself if you want to visit the area.
