Roldanillo: soggiorni in alloggi con braciere

I only give 4 star on communications because I don't speak Spanish, so that rating is for me more than him. But with google translate and his willingness to talk to my Spanish speaking friend we worked it out. If like me, you're thinking "this is too good to be true", then like me you are wrong. It's truly a wonderful place. In this adventurous life I've led of international travel from the age of 5 (I'm 63 now) this stay rates up among the top travel experiences. If you're a paraglider pilot like me you'll enjoy waking up. Fixing yourself some coffee/breakfast in your nice big kitchen room (seating 8 comfortably at the huge wood slab table) or wonder down to the main open building to have breakfast with the farm hands and family for around two bucks. Delicious! Then watch the weather develop for the flying day with the clouds forming in the valley and eventually lifting over the launch. You get to launch a little earlier than Aguapanella. You're home is that beautiful little Finca on the spine to the left as you look from AP. If you've flown in Roldanillo you have thermalled above this farm. I was there 10 days and flew 9 of them. That one day was rained out everywhere in the valley. It's the single time I had to drive *down* the mountain. The flying is like putting training wheels on your glider! Launch is well maintained boutique experience with Camillo making sure that everything goes smooth. A nice tropical beat music. Ample covered area to sort your gear before coming on launch. Most days is a sort of a side launch and there's the power lines close by. Absolutely no problem for intermediate to advanced pilots. Camillo requires beginning pilots to be under the guidance of an instructor and on radio contact. No exceptions. If you don't catch a thermal right away, hand in your card. :) The house. Wow! Nice rooms with views and the wrap around porch with seating and a hammock. The views are breathtaking and greater than 180 mountain views. The city of Roldonillo below, Zarzal across the valley. Sigh. There were a few little things they are working on. Plumbing, and electrical. By the time you read this I imagine those little things are fixed. If something comes up just mention to Camillo (who speaks perfect English and French as well as his native Spanish) and he'll relate to Jorge who will have it taken care of quickly. There's a coati who's a real asshole so be sure to close the kitchen up at night and store your food in containers or the refrigerator. There's hot water in two of the showers (the ones between rooms). When I stayed in town the last time the hot water didn't seem so important because it's sultry down in the valley. But up at the Finca you will enjoy the hot shower. Also, bring a sweater because at night it's refreshing! During the day I never found it too warm for long pants. It's the ideal climate! That hammock! With the ledge of the short wall around the porch for you to set your coffee or tea or adult beverage. It's unimaginably pleasant. Watch the parrots fly by every morning and evening on their route between forage and roost. When you think it can't get better the fireflies come out and the orange tree in front of you gives a perfume from it's flowers. We picked up sweet tangerines from the ground. There's coffee and bananas grown on the property as well with plans to put in avocados. Perhaps a thunderstorm on the other side of the valley will give you the flash and rumble that's like taking a sandstone to rub the rough spots off your soul. My friends, is it too good to be true? It's actually quite a bit better than expressed in the air BNB advertisement.

Un lugar tranquilo, agradable para descansar si no tienes inconveniente con el ruido de los carros y motos que pasan a unos cuantos metros del Airbnb. Desde el patio puedes apreciar el atardecer, las aves, disfrutar del constante viento y en las mañanas a los parapentistas elevándose en las alturas. Claudia la hermana de Isabel es amable y te colabora siempre, por lo cual le agradezco.
