Casa Legado

Top choice in Bogotá


Find your way to this renovated 1950s art deco home in Quinta Camacho and you'll fall in love with your host, Helena, and her seven-room dream pad. An exotic fruit garden, a communal dining room and a guest-use kitchen, plus an ivy-draped courtyard, are perfect companions to stylish rooms, decked out according to the personalities of Helena's nieces and nephews.

An interior designer by trade, Helena has painstakingly accented the experience with local Colombian products wherever possible (luxurious Loto del Sur amenities, beautiful ceramics from Tybso, aromatic Libertario coffee). There's a lot to love here, not least the treats that are included in the price: gourmet breakfast, food and drinks from the well-stocked kitchen, city bikes, picnic baskets and access to five deluxe common areas.
