Casa Yahri

About Casa Yahri

An idyllic, white-washed casa with astonishing views across the Colombian Andes.

Having inspired the makers of Disney's Encanto, Barichara is a magical little spot hidden deep in the Colombian Andes where charming streets lined with terracotta-topped buildings take visitors on a journey through time. Partially built in the 1800s, Casa Yahri sits on a series of terraces overlooking the town and the acres of lush forest and mountains beyond. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, and with just four rooms, it's wonderfully intimate. Spend all day meandering through the town or hiking into the scenic surrounds, then return for a dip in the huge swimming pool.

Property details

The property

With views that reach all the way to Chicamocha National Park, Casa Yahri sits pretty on the hills above Barichara. Although it is far too casual for anything like a restaurant, the delightful Dona Blanca produces a fantastic spread of fresh bread, cereals, arepas, fruit and eggs to order in the morning, served with rich coffee (of course) or hot chocolate. The hotel also has a collection of indoor-outdoor decks with loungers and pretty tables and chairs, and an infinity lap pool with a sublime view.

The rooms

There are just four rooms, all with exposed brickwork, gnarled ceiling beams, and flagstone floors. The king-sized beds are large with colourful linens and finely-carved headboards, while the rest of the room is dotted with antique furnishings. Bedrooms range in size with the Aratoca or Chicamocha suites being the largest. The former is part of the original 19th-century house and has an outdoor shower, while Chicamocha has its own terrace and plunge pool. All have aircon, wifi and a minibar.

Activities

There's plenty to do in Barichara ranging from cooking classes to lessons in artisanal crafts like ceramics, weaving and clay painting, visits to local coffee farms and guided tours of the town. Adventure seekers can enjoy hikes into the surrounding countryside (they range from ambles along the Camino Real to full-day explorations), go rafting on the Chicamocha River, ride horseback through the fields, or rapel down waterfalls. For the best views around, ride the cable car across the canyon.

Why we love it

The peaceful ambiance that permeates every corner of the Casa Yahri. Just try to feel stressed whilst lazing on a lounger with that view before you...

Insiders Tip

The Guane rooms are better for families or groups of friends as they have a shared terrace.

Something to think about

Casa Yahri doesn't have a full-service restaurant but you can arrange for the chef to prepare a special meal or head into town for something to eat at one of the fabulous restaurants.
