Setting

Neighbourly Quinta Camacho

Make yourself at home during your stay at family owned bed and breakfast Casa Legado in Bogotá’s Quinta Camacho neighbourhood. There are just thirteen rooms in this bright stay – each inspired by a different member of owner Helena’s family – and breakfasts are served around the long wooden dining table each morning. We’re sure you’ll feel at home: snacks and non-alcholic drinks wait for you in the open-plan kitchen. Feeling active? Borrow bikes to explore the city. Keen to kick back? Soak up the sun in the courtyard garden or cosy up with a book (and a glass of regional red) by the fireplace. Your favourite friend couldn't do better. ¡Bienvenido a la família!

Dress Code

Make yourself at home.

Hotel Restaurant

There’s no restaurant, but breakfast at Casa Legado is a bountiful buffet of fresh fruits and juices, granolas and oatmeal, homemade coconut yogurt, freshly baked bread, local egg dishes and rich coffee. Later in the day, picnic hampers can be put together on request.

Hotel Bar

There’s no bar, but you’re welcome to help yourself to the fully-stocked fridge in the sunny kitchen.

Last Orders

Planes

Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado is 30 minutes away by car. Hotel transfers can be arranged for COP93,000 each way (you’ll get yours free as a Smith Extra).

Automobiles

There’s onsite parking at the hotel, but we’d ditch the self-drive route in favour of airport pick-up and the hotel’s upright bicycles.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Borrow one of the hotel’s photogenic bikes and pedal your way around the neighbourhood, pour yourself a glass of wine and snuggle up by the fireplace, or relax with a movie night in the garden. Achy? Thai massages can be arranged on request. And if you fancy exploring further afield, the family also owns a bucolic farmhouse two hours outside Bogotá. Called Manqué in honour of Helena’s father, it's a cosy countryside cottage that’s well worth an overnight visit. A guide will whisk you away to the farm, stopping at local arepa shacks, markets and hidden gardens along the way.

Browse for bit of locally made bling – made from recycled silver – at Colombian-Pakistani jewellery shop Aysha Bilgrami or search through the tomes at Wilborada for something to read in the garden. Make your way to Italian-inspired ice cream shop Orso and grab a cinnamon ice cream cone, caramel cookie-dough milkshake or warm chocolate-chip cookie topped with a scoop; then if your sweet treat of choice is portable, you can ramble over to Plaza Bolivar, Bogotá’s main square.
