Hacienda Combia

Zona Cafetera


This hotel on a coffee farm near Jardín Botánico del Quindío has fantastic mountain views and top-notch facilities, including an infinity pool and spa. It doesn't have the intimacy of some smaller farms, but you won't find better comfort for the price and the coffee here is the real deal – it's been produced by the same family for four generations.

The rooms in the old farmhouse have more character than those in the new wing. There is a spacious open-air restaurant serving typical meals. Even if you don't plan on staying, Combia is worth a visit for the very informative, high-end coffee tour (guests/nonguests COP$93,000/115,000). A taxi here from Armenia costs around COP$35,000.
