First Impressions and Arrival Experience
Reaching Chalets Villa Marina in Copacabana is an adventure in itself — the good kind. The road from Medellín gradually transforms from city buzz to open landscapes, rolling hills, and tropical greenery. As I approached the property, the air became cooler and cleaner, the scenery wider, and my anticipation grew.
The chalet complex sits in a peaceful residential area, located at Calle 50 #39-25, 051040 Copacabana, Colombia. The moment I stepped through the gate, I noticed how carefully the owners have blended comfort with nature. Birds were chirping, the gardens were beautifully maintained, and the wooden structures of the chalets gave everything a cozy, mountain-lodge feeling.
Check-in was effortless. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and quick to share local recommendations, hiking paths, and their favorite spots in town. That personal touch made me feel instantly at home — like staying with friends rather than a typical hotel.
As I walked to my chalet, the first thing I noticed was the calmness. No traffic. No city noise. Just the rustling of leaves and the distant sound of a river. It was the perfect first impression.
Rooms and Comfort
The chalets at Chalets Villa Marina are designed to provide both privacy and comfort. Each unit feels like a small wooden cabin tucked away in nature — rustic on the outside, cozy and functional on the inside.
When I entered my chalet, the soft scent of wood immediately made me feel relaxed. The space was warm and inviting, with clean linens, soft lighting, and plenty of natural elements. Everything looked spotless. The hosts clearly keep their accommodations in excellent condition.
One of my favorite moments happened the next morning:
When I opened the curtains, sunlight streamed through the trees, creating a golden glow inside the room. Outside, I could see the lush mountains of Copacabana — a view that makes waking up feel like a blessing.
The amenities were exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay:
- A good-quality bed that provided deep, restful sleep
- A private bathroom with hot water (a must in the cooler mountain climate)
- Fast Wi-Fi for planning day trips
- A small terrace area perfect for morning coffee
- Plenty of ventilation thanks to large windows and the natural breeze
Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic escape, a solo traveler craving peace, or a small family seeking privacy, the chalets offer a lovely blend of comfort and simplicity.
Dining and Food Experience
Although Chalets Villa Marina doesn’t operate a full onsite restaurant, breakfast and meals can often be arranged with the hosts or enjoyed at nearby local spots. And in Copacabana, food is part of the experience — simple, fresh, and authentically Colombian.
During my stay, I enjoyed several meals in the little eateries around town. Some highlights:
Local Breakfasts
Think warm arepas, fresh cheese, eggs cooked the way you like, and Colombian coffee straight from the region — rich, aromatic, and unforgettable. Many small cafés in Copacabana serve homemade breakfasts for a very affordable price.
Traditional Colombian Flavors
Near the hotel, you’ll find restaurants offering bandeja paisa, chicharrón, sancocho, and grilled meats. These places aren’t fancy, but they’re full of flavor and charm.

If you prefer cooking your own meals, you’ll appreciate the convenience of small local markets and shops where you can pick up fresh produce, fruits, traditional snacks, and essentials to enjoy back on your terrace.
