Perched on a hilltop above town and surrounded by a fine garden, this romantic 26-room hotel tops the charts in Villa de Leyva for personality. The massive rooms, each unique but all equally drenched in color, art and character, are snazzy affairs, with Jacuzzis, terraces, fireplaces and kaleidoscopically tiled bathrooms. Views, be they mountain or town, are stupendous.
The bummer here is that if you don't have your own wheels, you'll spend an additional COP$24,000 to COP$30,000 round trip going to and from town. Thankfully, the hotel is relatively self-contained, with its own restaurant and spa. Rates drop on weekdays.
