My wife and I extensively travel with another couple. My wife is a travel advisor and always chooses great places to stay. Cannua Lodge delivered. Describing what was the best part of our stay in any particular order would not do it justice: The lodge's accommodations, the people, the food, the cocktails, the guided experiences, etc, were all equally OUTSTANDING. Of particular note was the spectacular staff and menu; food direct from the garden, the wonderful view from our room, the Rum tasting and the chocolate tasting experiences. It's hard to describe the efforts the founders made to support the local community and the environment. I slept like a baby, and I ate and drank like a king. Just go there and find out for yourself. You'll be glad you did, The value highly surpassed the cost.

We had a truly relaxing stay at Cannua Lodge. The views are stunning, and our Cabaña was beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Service throughout the stay was attentive and genuinely personable. The English spoken by Fab and the reception team was perfect, which made everything even smoother. A special shout-out to Fab, who guided all our activities and was absolutely fabulous - passionate, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The waterfall hike, chocolate tasting, and permaculture tour were all highlights and are highly recommended. We felt very safe both at the lodge and in Medellín city, which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. The road leading to the lodge is a little bumpy toward the end, but completely manageable on your own with a car. Once you arrive, the experience is more than worth it. Food and drink prices at the restaurant were very affordable, and the meals themselves were delicious. Cannua Lodge offers a unique and memorable experience, and it absolutely deserves its 2 Michelin Keys. A must-visit if you’re in the Medellín area.

We had a good stay and truly enjoyed the unique atmosphere of this property. It offers a beautiful setting with several standout highlights that made the experience memorable. - Highlights / Positives Amazing location — The setting is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views from both the main building and the cabins. Beautiful natural surroundings — The grounds are lovely, filled with wildflowers. Afternoon hike provided — A great added experience offered by the hotel. The trail can be a bit slippery, but it’s definitely worth doing. Excellent lunch and dinner menu — The food was very good overall, and the plantain croquettes were truly outstanding — the best we’ve ever had. Friendly and welcoming staff — Everyone was kind and helpful, with a good basic knowledge of English, which made communication easy. High-quality massage service — The massage was excellent, and the therapist was both professional and very kind. Heater in the rooms — Very much appreciated, as it can get quite cold, especially in the evenings. - Things to Consider Limited fruit selection at breakfast — A wider variety of fresh fruit would improve the breakfast experience. Cabins lacked a bit of warmth in atmosphere — While comfortable, the cabins could feel slightly more inviting or cozy in terms of décor and personality. No balcony furniture — To fully enjoy the incredible views outside, you need to carry chairs or seating from inside, which is slightly inconvenient. Overall, a lovely property in a fantastic location with great food and friendly service. With a few small improvements, it could be even better.

We truly enjoyed this beautiful property nestled in a quiet hillside with forever views of the valleys below. The gardens and pathways full of flowers were lovely. The room had huge windows with plenty of light and minimalist decor. The staff were sweet and welcoming. Good healthy menu with locally grown produce. Only reason I gave them 4 stars is that it’s a bit desolate with a long drive out to any services. Nevertheless great stay.
