Our take

VILLA ELSA is an apartment in El Colegio, Warm weekend towns. It has a guest rating of 8.2/10 from 19 reviews. It is about 41 km (25 miles) from central Bogotá as the crow flies, a countryside stay rather than a city base. The airport is about 36 km away in a straight line; Bogotá traffic decides the real trip. We still have to check heating and street noise here; until then those checks show as Not yet checked.
