We stayed here for just over a week. We felt very safe & the facilities were good. House was comfortable & had what we wanted. Having a laundry also unless you want to pay a small fortune is a must. We experienced issues with using pool for several days & internet which were not the fault of the owner but none the less were bothersome to our stay with children wanting to swim and no internet to communicate with family back home. Owners did their best to resolve and did compensate us for the inconveniences. Just unfortunate for us that it happened as we stayed there especially to have a pool to use. Anyway we would stay here again. The owners were kind and did all they could to help.
Excellent! A++++ MUST STAY, January 10, 2011
December, 2010. Great Home for Adoptive
Families.
Phoenix, AZ USA
We stayed at the villa for 2 1/2 weeks with our
four children (17, 14, 12, 7). It was perfect for us with enough room for
everyone. We felt safe the entire time with it being a gated community with
guards and off the highway a ways. We used the pool daily (closed on Mondays for
cleaning) the playground and the outdoor soccer field. The amenities were well
supplied and everything we needed was close by, i.e. groceries, water, small
shops, etc. The house is clean and modern. The wireless computer connection was
very important to us for contact with our family at home. It was fast and
easily attainable. Jairo and Adrianna kept in contact often and when the
washing machine stopped working, they had it fixed the next day. It was
wonderful to be out in the country, yet 10 minutes from the city. We highly
recommend this villa for families that are adopting and needing to stay in
country several weeks. Chiquitines is only a short drive from the villa. Thank
you for a memorable stay in beautiful Cali. We loved it and plan to return!

Great Country Villa...
The Villa was a wonderful.
Very quiet, super safe, peaceful, clean & comfortable. The security is
top-notch, with the guards not only totally securing the entrance, but also they
make rounds all through the day & night on bicycle. The house is in an ideal
location, with the pool just out back, small play area for kids, lots of "green
area" to run around, and the plaza just past the guard station where you have a
salon, 2 markets, a bakery (fresh bread by 7am), small restaurant, drycleaner,
bar and misc. shop. We stayed for 5 weeks and felt at home. There was plenty of
hot water (important for me)in the master bedroom bath only. El baño social is
more like a half bath...the hot water of the shower not working. My only
negative, because everything else was just perfect. The pool was very clean. The
house is in the far south, Jamundi. Travel to the north of Cali by Taxi was
usually about 40,000 pesos. We spent a lot of time in the city. We tried the
shuttle once, it was very comfortable & easy to use...taxi or motorista, was
easier with 3 young children. We had an "empleada" who came daily to cook &
clean - highly recommend! Good for them, us, & the house! Thank you Jairo, for
being so professional, kind, & caring. My family loved & cherished our
experience together in your vacation home.

El lugar

Mi familia y yo la pasamos muy bien en la Hacienda el Castillo, la casa es muy
bonita, tranquila, y muy segura. Excelente para personas con ninos, mi nena se
divirtio muchisimo y la gran varieda de aves y canticos de pajaritos. Muy amables
los senores de seguridad y los vecinos, lejos de la bulla y el estres, la
panaderia esta muy bien, pan caliente a las 7. Supermercado, comidas rapidas, y
transporte a la ciudad. Gracias Jairo siempre pendiente de todo.

First of all, the experience that we had in Columbia was awesome!! The people
are great. The house that we stayed in was above and beyond what we would have
imagined because we did not know the town that we were staying in. The house was
great. It had everything that we had needed outside of buying groceries. I would definately stay there again. We plan to go in December and stay in the same
place if it is not rented out already. The people were great!

7/26/09 Despues de 8 anos de no visitar mi bella Cali no pude haber
escogido mejor lugar para mi estadia, un lugar muy seguro, tranquilo y fuera de
la bulla de la ciudad. Disfrutamos mucho el despertar al cantar de los pajaritos,
por lo menos mi hijo menor fue el primero en comentar acerca de este detalle. La
casa muy comoda y con todo lo necesario para unas vacaciones tranquilas. Ideal
para familia con hijos, la ubicacion de la casa perfecta para el acceso a la
piscina y zona de juegos, puedes mantener los ninos vigilados con solo mirar por
el ventanal de la sala. Muchas gracias a Don Jairo y en especial a Don Carlos
quien siempre estuvo pendiente a lo que necesitaramos, tengan la seguridad que
volvere pronto a usar sus servicios. Sinceramente, Monica Bedoya y familia.

Excellent Experience & Great Deal!
My family and I spent 1 week in Cali at the Villa
and had a fantastic experience. The house is very clean, modern, great
distribution, fantastic ammenities. We liked the feeling of being in the country
side but yet, just 10 min drive from the city. Nature surrounded us, loved being
in a quite place with quite neighbors, great security and beautiful views. Our 4
year old son had a fantastic time in the pool, running around, making friends
with friendly little neighbors, and enjoying the free bus rides that would take
us from the villa to the Mall. Overall, just great experience at a fantastic
price. Plus, great customer service from Jairo & Carlos. Mark A.

4/30/09 NYC
meets Cali.
I am a NYC resident born and raised with latin parents. Dad is Colombian Mom
is Dominican. My father lives in Colombia and I have been there twice. When
I visit I like to stay at a hotel or villa like this one. The home is
great,very clean, spacious, affordable and very safe. A gated community with
many stores on site. bakery, seafood restaurant which had the most
outstanding food no decor but food was exceptional at that restauarnt. Loved
the pool and proximity from home to the recreation area. Very kid friendly
as they have a toddler school on property. I work for a 4 star hotel company
so my room accomodation standards are pretty high. This property was great.
I would recommend this to any one especially guests from the States and
Europe.

La pasamos delicioso en Cali. Tu casa es muy comoda y
agradable, de verdad que ideal para una estadia larga de vacaciones. Nos
gusto mucho el ambiente familiar tanto de la casa como del conjunto, no se
siente uno como en casa prestada. Otras cosas que nos gustaron: 3 cuartos,
la localizacion lejana de las zonas sociales (cocina, sala, TV) pues asi el
nino no se despertaba facilmente, nos gusto mucho el aire acondicionado, los
senores de la porteria siempre muy atentos, el beneficio de tener el
supermercado/panaderia cerca, servicio de transporte.
