“This family and wellness-oriented escape in Villa de Leyva blends modern design with the region's colonial spirit, an interesting counterpoint. I'm intrigued by its commitment to eco-tourism and the wellness offerings, like gua sha treatments, that nudge it beyond the typical stay. Still, I wonder how well the hotel balances its event focus with quieter expectations, given that weddings and conferences are a core offering.”
