Hotel Minca - la Casona

This place used to be a nunnery and is set on a fantastic property very close to the downtown of Minca. Fantastic views and hummingbirds on the deck. Great restaurant on site. Wonderful pool with incredible views. Nice spacious rooms. This was one of my favorite places to stay in Colombia.

- stayed there with a tour - Beautiful hotel just off the main street. Feels like a jungle paradise. Hummingbirds greet you outside as you take in the view from the balcony of the gorgeous countryside - Rooms: were large and spacious and had the cleanest sheets we had on this tour. Our room overlooked the countryside and had 2 chairs outside. - All beds had mosquito nets – slightly dirty but they closed - Basic bathroom: no toiletries but it did have hot water. Could easily hear people next door though - Walking into town was 3 minutes with pharmacy, restaurants close by. - Delicious food + best breakfast of the tour. We loved the patacon de hogoa, pancakes, eggs which you eat on the balcony overlooking the country with hummingbirds all buzzing thoughout - Staff was friendly and accommodating. - Only downside was coffee wasn’t great. I would go into town

We were here for one night with a 5 am pick up the next morning - so didn’t really spend much time . But it served its purpose as a centrally located BASIC hotel in Minca. The rooms are extremely simple - like a hostel . There is a nice decking area near the restaurant/ reception with bird feeders and it was pretty to see the hummingbirds feeding with the mountains in the background. The pool are was also a bonus and the staff very helpful with our early check out .

We went here for lunch recently on our way up to El Dorado. It's a really lovely spot on the edge of Minca with a beautiful terrace where we ate - although my husband couldn't sit still, due to the profuseness of the hummingbirds which he photographed many times. Staff were very accommodating - we had pre-ordered due to time limitation and our pasta lunch was served very quickly.
