This is a little oasis in the midst of a sizable city. The main house and its rooms are beautiful and the garden setting for the grounds is the icing on the cake. The breakfast was wonderful with a variety of smoothies, juices, fruit, eggs, breads and cereal. The security is very good so you can relax without worry. We... More

The hotel is clean, with a small pool where you can oversee the snow mountain. It is around 20 mins from the main square, a bit far from the touristy district and restaurants. I would recommend this to people who want to enjoy quiet stay and some family time at Arequipa, but would be a bit tough for people who... More

We stayed here before and after our Colca Canyon trip. The hotel consists of the main house which has older quainter rooms and then a separate building which has more modern rooms, both of which were perfectly fine, clean and comfortable. Location is about 20 minutes walk from the main square, which is safe to do during the day but... More

We stayed there for two nights. At the first there was NO HOT WATER so we couldn't take shower. We called the reception to see what was going on and the receptionist was rude. He blamed the rainy days at Arequipa. But we talked to other turists that were in different hotels and they had hot water. The night after... More

I don`t know what kind of people you are, but to make use of a very bad weather situation, heavy rains that almost all town is without water and electricity, and the Government even called out the emergency situation, and then threaten that you don`t want to pay for the stay or if you have to pay you will write...

We stayed in this hotel as a family and were very satisfied. The rooms were spacious with big and clean bathrooms in a beautiful house in a quiet environment. The hotel is a bit on the outskirts of Areqiupa Centre but you can either walk to the Plaza de Armas in 15min or grab a Taxi that takes you there... More

I stayed here while travelling with family so I saw 3 rooms. All were excellently presented, large, clean and had excellent bathrooms. I cannot fault them on the rooms. The wifi reached all rooms. The breakfast was a good continental style breakfast. The location is quite good, it is not in the centre of arequipa, it is a 10-15 minute... More

Stayed in the main house and the room was lovely. About a 20 minute walk from town which we did during the day and felt safe, but did as advised and cabbed it at night 4 soles. Never really found out what time breakfast was served as we had some communication problems, but when we appeared at 8am and nothing... More

We stayed four nights in the modern block at the back of the garden. The room had wood floors, lots of space and light, comfortable beds, and a large, very clean bathroom. Out front was a veranda with a table and chairs and views of the volcanoes, Eiffel's bridge, and the posada's flower-filled garden. The staff were friendly and helpful,... More
