Medellin

Beautiful old castle with its gardens in Poblado, Medellin. Once a German woman and her Columbian husband lived here, but their story ends very sad. The castle was then doninated to the city and is now a museum.

It’s a lovely hotel with great views right in the middle of all the action. Did not have a bar. I borrowed an umbrella and left it in an Uber and the front desk was very upset with me. I’d still go back again the rooms are nice.
