Casa Yahri

Surrounded by historic architecture and idyllic tranquility, the Casa Yahri is located in the exclusive neighborhood of La Loma in Barichara - that protected heritage Andean town, whose completely preserved colonial architecture even inspired the creators of Disney's "Encanto" to conduct research trips. The boutique hotel is understood as a private home away from home, combining the advantages of a luxurious villa with first-class hotel service. With only four private suites, you experience a rare exclusivity here - and, in accordance with local tradition, you become the "Patiamarillo," as the residents of Barichara affectionately call themselves. From the sunny terraces, you look out over the rooftops of the city to the majestic Chicamocha Canyon.

Suites

The luxurious villa features four spacious and completely independent suites, categorized into three types. The Junior Suite Aratoca is located on the upper floor of the historic original house from the late 19th century and once served as an office and library - even today, furniture from that time shapes the calm, elegant character of the room. The Chicamocha Suite offers its own terrace and a private dipping pool, while the split-level Guane Suite with a shared terrace is ideal for families or groups of friends. All rooms maintain the colonial charm of the local architecture while offering modern amenities as well as wide views of the garden and landscape.
