Casa Nativo Jardin — Hotel in El Tapado

Casa Nativo and its hosts Matt and Daniela are paradise on earth. As soon as we arrived in the small impulsive town of Jardin, we were thrilled by the lively but serene atmosphere. We immediately felt at home. Matt picked us up with his jeep and our most eventful drive into the mountains of the Andes began. It was really over stick and over stone always up. Matt is a fantastic jeep driver! And then we arrived at this dreamlike house, located in the middle of the fantastic green landscape. No car traffic, the unknown but very melodic concerts of the colorful bird life, the view of the Andean landscape with banana trees and palm trees, the yellow guayacanes... We were speechless. Its like a huge natural garden. We were there for three days as a family. Matt organized us a hike to an amazing waterfall (crazy!) and a visit to a lovely coffee plantation (very interesting and familiar!). For us it is certain: We will come back again, Casa Nativo is addictive. By the way, also the breakfast was very tasty and regional. And the campfire in the evening very cozy. The rooms are great, the facilities are luxurious and the view from the rooms is breathtaking! We give Casa Nativo our best recommendation! Thanks to Matt...

Lovely hotel, perched on the side of a mountain. Well appointed and pretty rooms, lots of hot water! The staff are wonderful, Ana y Diana took such good care of me, and stayed in touch before I even arrived. Getting here was easy.- I parked in a lot they recommended in Jardin, and Ana came and received me in a Jeep 4x4, because you can't get up the hill in a normal car. Dinner was hearty and well prepared at the hour of my choosing. Local trout, fresh carrot soup, patacones, rice and salad.

But the thing that is AMAZING here are the views. An incredibly peaceful, gorgeous vista of the mountains and coffee plantations. Colombia is one of the most beautiful places in the world and casa nativo allows you to enjoy this in the best way. Get a room with a balcony if you like privacy. They have two nice rocking chairs and blankets if it gets a little cold at night. There are so many birds and flowers to admire!

Wi-Fi is a little unstable so I wouldn't use this as a place to...
