Finca Villa Martha
We spent two nights at Finca Villa Martha, a coffee farm located about nine kilometers from the city of Pereira. We had a wonderful time! The owners of the farm, Martha and Rafael, are fantastic hosts! All of the meals they cooked for us were hearty, delicious, and accompanied by a glass of fresh natural fruit juice. They served fresh tinto (black coffee) sweetened with panela (a form of raw sugar) all day long. Martha and Rafael have very warm personalities, and enjoyed telling us about how they came to own the coffee farm, and some of the interesting guests they’d had over the years. Rafael also gave us a nice presentation on the coffee making process and showed us how coffee beans are dried, de-shelled, roasted and ground up.
The farm is a lovely property surrounded by lush green hills, banana trees and other coffee farms. The owners place birdfeeders with sugar water around the house and cabins that attract lots of beautiful little hummingbirds. The farm also has a nice swimming pool and jacuzzi at the bottom of a small hill. We found that the beautiful and tranquil surroundings made it a great place to relax.
