Short-term rentals in Santa Fe de Antioquia: how much you can earn with a farm

Santa Fe de Antioquia, a historic heritage town and a year-round tourist destination, is one of the best places in the country for short-term rentals. Its colonial architecture and its climate attract visitors in both high and low season.

The numbers

A farm with a pool for 8–10 people can charge between COP 500,000 and COP 1,200,000 per night depending on the season. With a realistic occupancy of 60–66%, that translates into monthly income well above an equivalent long-term rental.

The key isn't the nightly rate but sustained occupancy. Good management completely changes the return.

What to keep in mind

Set aside 20% to 30% for operating costs: cleaning, maintenance, utilities and platform fees. Even so, the net return is usually well above that of a CDT (a Colombian certificate of deposit). Use our calculator to run your own numbers.
