At first it seemed a bit out of town but in reality was only about 10minutes walk to the main square. The rooms are in a series of buildings built in a traditional style. The site is on a fairly steep slope so would not suit guests with mobility issues. The rooms higher up probably have better views.
Really good breakfast cooked to order.

Peacefull and unique

This is the type of place that has so much potential but is either not properly managed or doesn't have enough funds for maintenance. 

We were supposed to stay 2 nights but left after the first one. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, there were spiders everywhere, and it just generally didn't feel like more than a backpacker, although it's supposed to be a hotel. The bathroom smelt really bad, but was clean and the shower had hot water but just looked like it was going to fall apart. 

The setting is really pretty, but with so much vegetation it requires a ton of maintenance to keep bugs out and such, which isn't happening at the moment. The included breakfast was extremely sad, even if served by a very lovely lady. You have to pay extra for eggs, etc, which I would have rather had included in the price. 

It's also a really steep walk up the hill from the main square, but you don't get a view from the hotel, so it's not really worth the effort. 

Overall, considering how many lovely hotels there are in and around barichara, there is no reason to stay here. Too bad, since the property has a lot of potential. 

Very run down 

Located almost a 10 minute walk up the hill away from the main plaza, the open setup is filled with gardens and trees and is quite beautiful. The small spa pool is great to cool off in and the room is comfortable and nicely decorated and the staff are incredibly friendly. Loved our outdoor shower.

Oddly the doors on the rooms don't lock or even have proper closing mechanisms, so if another guest wants to go through your things while you're out, there's nothing stopping them. This can be a bit concerning.

Breakfast is good - a spread of eggs, juice, coffee or chocolate, jam, arepa and not the best quality white bread.

Anyone that requires even half decent wifi may want to book elsewhere as the network strength here quite appalling. Constant drop-outs and as soon as it starts to rain, there's no service at all. The hotel ought to pay for a better plan or simply not have wifi at all.

The only other issue is the communal lounge located upstairs at the top of the property. Whilst it's a beautiful spot with an open design that overlooks the town, guests use it until very late - yelling, playing loud music which can all be heard in the rooms just metres away. 

Management needs to address this and perhaps put a curfew on its usage so that other guests can sleep in peace. Being kept awake until midnight on one night and then 1.30am on another simply isn't ok.
