Hotel Campanario De la Villa is an above-average boutique hotel just a two minute walk to the main plaza in Villa de Leyva. The property is generally well maintained and clean to experienced traveler standards.
Our room (206) was nicely appointed, with a small balcony facing the very lightly trafficked street, a fireplace and lovely high ceilings throughout. The bathroom is large with natural lighting, and a large acrylic tub/shower combination.
The king-size bed was pleasantly firm but compliant and all of the bed linens were in excellent shape. As the neighborhood is so quiet in the evenings - a good night's sleep is very easy to have.
Why not 5-stars? Well, the property is not particularly luxurious. And the (included in our rate) breakfast was particularly disappointing in that there's little variety, and that nearly everything needed to be sent back as it was lukewarm. (I understand that early week is slow, but that's no excuse for indifferent food quality).
The hotel staff were all friendly although we only spoke Spanish. As a popular tourist destination, we did observe that there always seemed to be someone with some English in the stores and restaurants, which is a pleasant surprise.
My best recommendation for this property is that we liked it sufficiently enough to have already planned our return.
