Excellent hotel in the desert. Rooms were very well decorated with a huge bathroom and bath. Easy walk into the plaza. Breakfast and the restaurant food for lunch/dinner were amazing. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Perfect base for observatory visits in the area.

Very pleasant guest house/ hotel. But beware of Hotel.com pictures they are misleading. It appeared the room had private outside sitting area (and jacuzzi) It had neither and little natural light.

The property is gorgeous, with inner courtyard gardens, pool, roof top hot-tubs and even massage! The meals were excellent and the staff friendly and communicative. The rooms , comfortable and the beds/bedding perfect for sleep. The bar, small, but well stocked and great place to get familiar with pisco sours!

Beautiful boutique hotel with original details (wood floors, high ceilings etc) set around two courtyards and indoor/outdoor restaurant. The bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed the soaking tub in the beautiful spacious bathroom. Lovely pool (unheated) which unfortunately we didn’t have time to use and apparently two hot tubs you can reserve (they were full during our stay). The Aloe restaurant is nice and stays open pretty late which is helpful if you’re doing an astronomy tour. The staff were very friendly and arranged a packed breakfast for us when we had to check out early to catch a flight. We regret we only had one night here and would certainly return!

We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous boutique hotel. The recent renovation has been done with such an attention to detail and stunning designer fabrics and fixtures. Beds are very comfortable and the restaurant is also fabulous for both breakfast and dinner. Both courtyards are beautiful and Diego gave us great history about the property and area in perfect English. He is a fun story teller! One room had air conditioning and the other did not. We truly wished we could have stayed another night. Highly recommend.

Very nice historic hotel. The positives included the big bed, nice bathroom, decent breakfast, good pool area and nice courtyard area. The staff were excellent - spoke great English too which was a bonus for us. Nice quiet location in Vicuña. The main negative was the lack of air conditioning despite it being advertised as included. Only half of the rooms (the pool view rooms) seem to have working air con so our room, whilst very nice, was uncomfortably hot. A fan was provided which helped. I would give it a perfect score if there was air con.

Of all the accommodations we rented during our 3 weeks in Chile, this was the only one that contacted us to prepare for our arrival. Upon arrival, the person at the reception offered us a tour of our room and then the accommodation, which is sensational. It was clearly going to be the best of our stay. One of the reasons we also chose this accommodation was the Aloe restaurant, which had vegan options on their menu. We were hungry and went straight to the restaurant, but unfortunately, there weren’t real vegan options. There was either cheese or eggs used for the bread. The waitress was very kind and honest with us and replaced the bread with rice cakes. We used the laundry service. Impeccable. We used the pool and we were alone. The reception always helped us with our questions with a smile.

Das Hotel war ein Highlight auf unserer Reise. Familiengeführt, herzlicher Empfang und sehr bemühtes Personal. Die gesamte Anlage ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und man hat uns mit Tipps zur Umgebung unterstützt. Innenhof und Pool waren (Dank vieler Blumen) ein angenehmer Ruhehafen, sodass wir unseren Aufenthalt noch verlängert haben.

Hotel maravilloso, cómodo, limpio y muy buena atención. Todo muy bien pensado. El restorán Aloe es exquisito y se encuentra dentro del hotel. Ideal para escapadas en pareja ya que es muy tranquilo. El único detalle es que no tiene estacionamiento privado.
