Magic Garden House

Fantastic garden type accommodation in the best area of Cali. Excellent communication and local tips for navigating the city. We thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen/patio gathering area and the great breakfast. Cali had a lot to offer and we walked everywhere, even at night. We followed advice to leave personal items which could attract a problem while city adventuring. We experienced 100% friendly locals. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend this quaint spot.

Everything about the "Magic Garden House" is truly amazing: the atmosphere, the location, the services, the amenities, but what makes it truly unique is the staff and the hosts. They will do anything possible to make your stay an unforgettable experience. The MAgic Garden House is a reason to visit Cali.

Small cosy place.very Nice situated right in san antonio where you have a whole view of cali city. Wonderful views , very reasonable rates. I recommend this place.i will return. The only part which could be a downside is that some rooms have to share bathrooms or have your own but outside your room. It was my first time in my life to have that kind of experience. What i can say though is worry not. Make sure to call in advance and let Them know you need your own bathroom if its importantly to you.This place is super clean and very safe.so it really dont matter much. Very good staff.the owner a lady so hard working Woman dedicated to make sure you have maximum comfort. Thankyou.good job

As the name correctly indicates, it's quite a magical place. Lovely owner and staff. Chilled and positive vibe. Great location. Can only recommend. Only small remark would be the sound isolation of the room, which could be better. Although generally it's quiet, so you'd be more than fine.

Perfectly located next to San Antonio Park with quick walk to many places for shopping, dancing and food. Staff were amazing, make you feel right at home. Spent a few evening reading on the patio with only the sounds of wildlife as the ambient background, you can fall asleep if not careful.

If we share how much we love this place it will be harder to get in when we want to return! Magic House feels like our home away from home when in Cali. The staff is welcoming and the area is safe. Great breakfast, beautiful view and areas to relax. It is walkable to all the areas we have wanted to visit, but be ready for steep hills. Easy to hike up to Tres Cruces from there. (We are in our 60s and walk from there to the historic part of Cali, the central market, the stadium, artisan market.) Lots of restaurants, not just on the same street...go around the corners too. Parking may be a problem unless you arrange with the hosts. San Antonio, the park nearby, has an amazing amphitheater where local artists perform programs from music to magic shows. If you are an early to bed person you may need ear plugs although the programs end at 10pm.

The Family Inn was next to plenty of restaurants and across the street from a beautiful park with families at night. The Inn was decorated with a feeling of being at home. Everything was super clean. Beautiful view from the terrace. Breakfast was plentiful, tasteful and individually prepared. The staff were friendly and informative about the area. We felt safe. I would highly recommend.

A magical and beautiful place to stay. Our hosts were kind, attentive, and created a relaxing environment. The views are amazing, and there are lots of trees, palms, and flowers around the house. Inside was quiet and peaceful, even with restaurants and a festival going on outside. Location is perfect to see a historic part of Cali with lots of shops and restaurants (and La Linterna, a historic printing studio with funky posters). Thank you to our hosts!

The Magic Garden House is tucked away on a relatively quiet street next to Parque San Antonio on Carrera 10 very close to the Iglesia de San Antonio. If you are going up Carrera 10 (it is a steep hill), the House is located on the left side of the street after Cleo's Pizza Y Comida Tipica Restaurant and El Alcornorque Restarurante Bar. I say this because it is unmarked (there are no signs) and you may wander the streets with your suitcases for awhile (like I did) before you find it. Don't give up though! It is a charming place with lovely shared spaces on two floors and a nice garden/green space in the back. Some rooms have bathrooms and some don't and you will share with other guests, so double check your room if that is important to you. The place is very clean, very safe, and walkable to many areas visited by tourists. In June 2023 there was a resident dog who is an absolute love and will greet you downstairs. The rooms are spotless and spacious, but the nicest thing about the House is it's charm... plants and cozy decorations everywhere. Everyone that works there is friendly and accommodating as well. They will help you with directions, call a taxi, etc., and they have a lavadero (wash board) you can use for free to wash clothes or you can pay for laundry service. Breakfast consists of a starter plate of fruit, agua de fruta, coffee, and something hot which can vary, such as eggs or a hot sandwich. The food was great. I highly recommend this place!!!
