What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s still immersed in nature — the modern wood and stone building is positioned on the shore of the turquoise Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir, with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and forest — but the atmosphere is sophisticated and upscale.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On the shores of Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir, framed by Andean forest with direct dock access to the water.
The rooms
Private wooden balconies look toward the water. Select suites add open-air jacuzzis right on the terrace.
The outdoor jacuzzi
The outdoor heated jacuzzi sits among palms on the terrace, illuminated green each evening above the water.
Restaurant
Epicurian by Tau House
Dining tables surround an indoor ficus tree beneath woven baskets, and an illuminated bar pours cocktails beside the reservoir.
