We stayed for 5 nights and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The view was great and of course every part of our room and the hotel was spotless and the food was top chef quality. But beyond all of that, the entire staff went far above and beyond to provide us with the best possible time at Arvum Hotel Botique. That includes the dog and parrot. What a wonderful time we all had.

We have traveled many a places and this was an exceptional experience on many counts - the views, hospitality, friendly staff, almost felt like a family stay for a week. While El Peñol rock has many views the one from hotel is incredible. If you are visiting Guatape this would be top lister away from crowds and just close enough to the rock. Also, the hotel follows farm to table concept and everything in their menu is produced by them in the same vicinity. The breakfast is made to order and top notch. Must for visitors !

Arvum isn't just a hotel it feels like home. Felipe and his mother were amazing hosts. The rooms are well put together and have a great view of el penon. The restaurant at the hotel is delicious and fresh as the food is grown on the property. If you are looking to relax outside of the main city, Arvum is your spot. Felipe will coordinate taxis and other experiences in Guatape. I couldn't recommend this place more and cannot wait to visit again.

We arrived at Arvum Boutique Hotel at dusk. The final 500 meters to the hotel are on a narrow, unpaved road, but our car had no issues. Felipe greeted us warmly and showed us to a fantastic room with three beds, where we spent two very comfortable nights. The hotel and room offer breathtaking views of the Piedra del Peñol and the lush Antioquian landscape, full of vibrant vegetation and birds, with the iconic rock visible in the distance. The breakfast at Arvum is à la carte and absolutely delicious, especially enjoyed in the restaurant with its spectacular view, surrounded by avocado trees and various birds. The food is incredibly fresh, with most ingredients sourced from the hotel’s own land. During our stay, we visited the Piedra del Peñol, reaching it in charming tuk-tuks. After climbing the 750 steps, we were rewarded with stunning views from the top. Felipe then suggested we visit the La Araña area on the road to San Rafael to explore hidden waterfalls and rivers. Thanks to his guidance, we discovered beautiful spots in the forest that we wouldn’t have found on our own. We also enjoyed an authentic Saturday afternoon in San Rafael, dining at a local restaurant Felipe recommended. Later, he took us to La Posada de las Aves for birdwatching, where we sipped delicious coffee in a garden filled with hummingbirds. After a day of adventure, we relaxed in our room’s giant jacuzzi. We had dinner at the hotel both nights, and the homemade food was delightful. Thank you Arvum !

El Hotel es muy elegante y acogedor. La vista desde la habitación era hermosa: se vé el Peñol de Guatapé. El servicio y la atención fueron excelentes y nos agradó mucho la conversación que tuvimos con Marieta. Nos dieron un paseo en un tik tok hasta la ribera del cuerpo de agua y pasamos un rato muy agradable allí observando el paisaje. Feliz de haber escogido este hotel.

We first arrived early, and they accommodated us which we thought was very nice. The view of El Penol is fantastic. The Jacuzzi on the balcony had a perfect view. We went for dinner and service was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was in a word "amazing". They grow a lot of what is served and is fresh and prepared very very well. Seasoning and cooking methods are done to a level seen in very fine restaurants. Breakfast was the same. The bar is a great option not just for drinks but to socialize with the guest and staff as well if they have the time. Philip was great and is Bi-lingual. Sweet People. Great place you won't regret it.

We were amazed on the great property Arvum lands on. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Out breakfast had a very nice touch from the kitchen, we regret that we didn't have dinner the night before, but we had a plentiful lunch in downtown Guatape. Rooms, beds, linens and bathrooms we're high in class. Although the hotel is somehow distant from downtown Guatape it was very easy to arrange for transportación. The "moto chivas" are a very good experience. The only but at this moment is that the water level is at a historical low, but expectation from local people is that it Will replenish in a couple of months, even with this we deeply enjoyed our Guatape 2 day stay.
