    The way to the lodge is the first highlight. It goes through the jungle and across 2 rivers. The rooms are spacious and very clean. You really feel like you're sleeping in the jungle. It's the perfect place for people looking for peace and quiet. For us it really was a unique experience in the middle of nature. It's only about 20 minutes to Tyron National Park. Franz and Ani are very helpful and help with everything. We felt very comfortable and welcome. The staff are all very nice and the food was very good. A big plus was the massage that Franz organised after our hike in the national park. These 2 nights were the best days for us in Colombia. Many thanks to you both! We wish you all the best.

    If you plan to visit parque tayrona...this is the answer. Fantastic location for early park access. Franz and his wife made the stay perfect with their warmth of welcome, and any help needed. Perfectly clean and comfortable (Not one mosquito bite !)

    Be aware that it's a 2km hike from the road crossing 2 rivers by food on the way. We enjoyed it, but you should be aware. As enjoyable as the open design of the rooms is, it affects the feeling of privacy with the walkway right underneath the bedroom window. You fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of the jungle, but you can also hear everything else.

    Franz and Ana are just great hosts that make you feel very welcome from the first moment. The lodge is one of the few locations that actually look exactly like in the photos! Great food for breakfast and dinner at very reasonable prices. Would love to return one time!

    Frana Lodge is located in a fantastic place in the forest, very peaceful but full of green nature and chanting animals. Very nice spaces to enjoy and rest, amazing river on the side, cheerful reception, delicate food.

    Everything was great

    The view is amazing! The people are really nice and the food they made was delicious. They took great care of me and helped me with everything I needed. I wish I would have had time to stay a few days longer, didn’t want to leave at all!

    It is a paradise in absolutely every way! Wonderful hosts who also speak English and German, excellent food - and you're in the middle of great nature! A drama that I couldn't stay any longer.

    One of our best places we stayed in Columbia. Franz and his wife Anni are so massive friendly. Franz picked us up to his amazing place in the middle of the jungle. He even walked with us for a wile around the place showed us place to relax and swim. We had nice conversations during the night. The food was amazing and the rooms are clean and modern. You really can relaxe there before or after your tayrona visit. We fully can recommend this place.

    The location was stunning and the perfect place to relax. The room was very clean and very comfortable. Each room has great views of the mountains and jungle that surround you. The sunsets in particular were very special. The hosts, Franz and Ana, are extremely nice people and very accommodating. They really make you feel at home, while giving you the space to take in the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was among the best we had during our four weeks in Colombia. I cannot recommend this place enough. Having read the reviews before arriving, we were a little daunted by how remote the house was - but there was no need be daunted. The hosts met us at the road and walked with us to the accommodation. If you are used to some light hiking, it is no problem at all and makes for a very special journey every day. By the second day, you feel like a local.

    Everything was great, my only complaint is that I live in Europe and can't visit every summer.

    Everything. The lodge itself is beautiful, with amazing views of the rainforest (which - no exaggeration - looks like paradise on Earth.) Hosts (Franz and Ani) were very friendly and helped ensure we had an unforgettable experience. Also Ani's delightful Latin jazz playlist was rivaled only by her excellent cooking - make sure you opt for eating meals at the lodge, they were delicious and reasonably priced. Moreover, they are truly a part of the local community, and through them we met some wonderful local folks, got to enjoy their hospitality, and try some of their products - from raw chocolate and Sacher cake to various magic potions! All in all, this was one of the best holidays I ever had.

    We had an absolutely fantastic time at Frana Home! The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views that surrounded the place. However, what truly set Frana Home apart was the way the hosts treated us. From the warm welcome to the personalized care throughout our stay, we felt like we were part of their family. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We left with wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for the exceptional hospitality of Franz and Ana. And with a happy stomach (thank you Ana). We can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a remarkable experience, Frana Home is the perfect choice. We're already looking forward to returning someday to relive this fantastic experience!
