The house is so beautiful. The restaurant is amazing: organic foods, good seasoning. They provided us comfort dinner after our Inca trail. All the staffs are so so nice and helpful. They kept our suitcase during the Inca trail. Our journey couldn’t be more satisfying without them.

A great place to stay with a nice garden and great views from the balcony. Staff were nice and helpful. Special thanks to the kitchen staff - very friendly and considerate. Love the breakfast. Downside could be room condition and cleanliness. But overall it was a good stay.

Rooms were simple but had a nice design. The common area gardens were lovely. Comfortable beds and linens. Breakfast was fresh and had high quality ingredients. Staff was friendly. As others said, bathrooms were just ok, a bit musty, and could use a refresh and renovation to match the better quality of the rooms and overall hotel itself. I booked ahead of time and got a good price and value.

Good service, beautiful property. Rooms are freezing cold and the small heater they provide does absolutely nothing. Never been so cold in a hotel before. Not worth the price per room either honestly.

I thought that for the price of the suite, you would at least have wifi and adequate heating. I could not sleep unless the fire was going as it was so cold. I slept with my hoodie and sweats on additionally to multiple blankets I had asked for. There was also lots of noise at night which would wake me up every few hours. It was a very cute hotel and the food was quite good. Service was very kind. It’s about a fifteen minute walk down/up a steep hill to get to restaurants. Overall a very nice hotel if you’re paying a cheaper price, I wouldn’t bother with the suite.
