The former private residence of late Colombian president Belisario Betancur, this five-bedroom villa sits at the heart of Barichara, widely regarded as Colombia's most beautiful colonial town. Largely unadorned white walls allow bespoke wicker and wood furniture, handcrafted by local artisans, to do the talking, while crisp white linens and locally sourced artwork strike a tone of quiet, rustic elegance. Spacious, fruit tree-lined grounds include a pool with an open-air thatched-roof caney for lounging. Mornings begin on a shaded terrace overlooking the Chicamocha Canyon, with a private chef and attentive English-speaking host ensuring every detail is taken care of.
