This is probably one of the most complete vacation rentals in Cali. We thought of EVERYTHING in order to make it the perfect place for you to stay, whether traveling for work, with family or friends.
The Space:
'Hygge' is a Scandinavian concept that encompasses the feeling of quiet comfort, wellness, contentment, extreme coziness and comfortable conviviality. With that in mind, we have aimed to design a place that pleases the senses and makes your stay in Cali the absolute best possible. A home away from home.
Of all the vacation rental buildings we have built over the years in Cali, this is the most elaborate.
Allow us to explain all the juicy details of this unit located on the second floor of the building...
BEDROOMS
The two bedrooms both come with high-quality European king size mattresses, 180x200cm (79" x 71") and smooth bedsheets. Each bed is outfitted with 4 pillows for sleeping.

A screen and blackout curtain has been installed in each bedroom as well to assure a good, dark night's sleep.

Guest Access:
Once you rent it the whole place is yours.
You're welcome to have visitors over as long as maximum occupancy is not exceeded (4 persons) at any given time. We need IDs of any guest who spends the night. If they are just visiting then not needed.
The Neighborhood:
The 'Hygge' building is located in the Versalles neighborhood in northwestern Cali, only 3 blocks from the Granada entertainment district on Avenida 9 where some of the city's best restaurants and nightlife are located.
The benefit being that it's lot more quiet at night than if you're right in the middle of the action.
The area is flat and very easy to walk around making it an ideal location for anyone looking to explore Cali. The majestic palm trees that line the street are absolutely gorgeous.
Within walking distance you will find just about anything you need, including bakeries, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies and some of the main attractions like Granada, the 'Bulevar del Rio (river boulevard), and Plaza Caicedo in downtown Cali.
Another one of our favorite areas is the colonial San Antonio and the gastronomic barrio El Peñon, located next to each other, they are an easy 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive away.
The city's most exclusive shopping center - Chipichape - is only a 5 minutes drive and is also filled with fancy boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, ATMs, cinema and the likes.
The new hospital "Clinica de Occidente" is only 1 block away making it a great choice for medical tourists.
In conclusion, close to all the fun and easy access to the main points of interest in the city.
Getting Around:
During the day, I suggest walking wherever possible. Enjoy the warm, eternal summer climate. Get to know the city. Explore!
If you're going further, then there are more than 20.000 taxis in Cali and they are very affordable. Minimum fare starts at 4.000 pesos which is less than a dollar. If you don't speak Spanish then Uber, Cabify, Beat and Didi all operate here and are the better choice. Busses are plentiful but tend to get very crowded and there is no bus line that passes by the property.
At night, best to always use a taxi / Uber / Didi / Beat / Cabify.
We also have private drivers we can recommend for airport pickups and trips around the city as well.
