Rionegro Colombia now has an alternative to the typical Colombian hotels and motels of yesterday. Located on the South-end of Rionegro, Colombia about 20 minutes from the Medellin International Airport is a delightful little “American Style” Bed and Breakfast called the Green Fields Bed & Breakfast. This rare exception to lodging in the Rionegro area is a refreshing option over traditional choices. It’s refreshing not just because it’s a B&B, but also due to it’s strategic location and the benefits that this spot brings.
This 4,000+ square foot over-sized home has 6 comfortable bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 courtyards, 2 wrap around balconies and loads of space to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with this conveniently located B&B. Green Fields Bed & Breakfast opened it’s doors just a few weeks ago and the word is getting out quickly. http://greenfieldsbedandbreakfast.com/
Green Fields B&B is located about 4.5 blocks from the main plaza of San Antonio de Pereira. This local hot spot is where local Medellin residents flock to on weekends and holidays for San Antonio’s infamous tasty desserts, great dining spots and festive atmosphere. The San Antonio area is teaming with local restaurants, night clubs as well as shopping.The B&B’s location is just close enough to walk to the action but just far enough not to hear it as visitors relax in their room each night. Green Fields is located on a bus route and for a cost of about $.65 one can take a 7 minute bus ride to the San Nicolas Mall or just a little farther to go into downtown Rionegro Being on the oututer edge, this small pueblo is also surrounded by natural attractions and activities such as nature trails, farms, rivers, lakes and mountains. .

San Antonio de Pereira, although technically is part of Rionegro, is one of several local favorites in the area. Other neighboring attractions worth mentioning include Comfama’s Los Osos Park, beautiful La Ceja, the quaint little pueblo of El Retiro, Guatape with it’s huge rock called El Pinol and not to forget Llano Grande with it’s upscale restaurants and shopping. San Antonio enjoys an altitude of over 7,100 but is so close to the equator that temperatures rarely deviate from 70-73 degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime and the low 60’s at night.
Green Fields Bed & Breakfast is owned and operated by American Bill Wernicke. Bill receives his English Speaking Guests personally and prepares a homemade breakfast for everyone who chooses to come stay the night. Bill has lived in Colombia for over 7 years now and is here to help his guests enjoy the Colombia that he has come to love. “I love their reaction the first time my guests hear the ‘clop, clop’ sound of these well bred show horses prancing down the street out front of Green Fields. Their faces are priceless.” Bill says that while visitors are sure to see a couple of horses while they visit, it’s next month’s “Feria de Flores” that will really impress one most as thousands of beautiful horses in the area along with their riders parade through these areas of the Oriente de Antioquia. It’s truly a sight to see.
