Casa de Felipe

Literally built by hand, Casa de Felipe is a work of many years of love. Felipe has created a most spectacularly comfortable space for the budget traveler with the amenities we need, including kitchen and laundry facilities. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The shady garden terraces, hung with hammocks and scattered with tables, have fantastic views of the bay and awe-inspiring sunsets. Studios for four or six, complete with private kitchen, BBQ and terrace, are available as well. Uphill from the beach, Casa de Felipe is a much more tranquil hostel, avoiding the beach’s weekend and night insaneness. Spanish, French and English are spoken.

Location:
10 minutes uphill from the beach
Taganga, Colombia

Traveler Reviews of Casa de Felipe

Casa de Felipe is the Most!

Spectacular sunsets, peaceful gardens and great staff. Felipe and Sandra are marvelous. If any hostel ever deserves two thumbs (and two big toes) up, this is the place!
