We have had the most wonderful stay at Hostal Familiar Jerico, Martha and her husband have been amazing hosts. When we arrived unfortunately my wife fell ill with a poorly stomach, Martha really went out of her way to help in any way possible, she offered to get us a doctor and also went out to get medicine for us, she really truly cared for my wife's wellbeing which was lovely. We extended our stay for another 3 days so we could make the most of Salento.

If you are in Salento I would highly recommend staying here, amazing value for the price and the warmth of the family...

Marta, the owner, sat down with us to gave us a list of places to eat, where to go, what to do, etc. - drawing a map of the city as she spoke to show us where everything was! She also gave us detailed information on the Cocora trek, which we did and enjoyed, and managed not to get lost exactly because of the other map she drew for us!
I don't think we will ever have the same level of care and warmth from an hostel owner. I am so glad we managed to have this experience, we...
