About Us

From Belgium to Barichara - A Dream Come True

Our Story

We are Johan and Ilse, and a few years ago, we left Belgium to pursue our dreams in the enchanting town of Barichara, Colombia. What started as a distant dream of opening a small-scale B&B in Italy transformed into the beautiful reality we now call home.

During a visit to Colombia to see a childhood friend of Johan, we stumbled upon the house of our dreams, nestled near Barichara, one of the most beautiful villages in Colombia. It felt as though the house had been patiently waiting for us, like a hidden treasure destined to become part of our story.

Today, we are living in this incredible country, surrounded by nature's beauty and the kindness of its people, excited to welcome you into our dream and share this little slice of paradise with you.
