A little bit of a walk to the plaza. We had gotten used to late dinners, but in Pisco Elqui it seems the restaurants are closing up by 8PM (which is normal back at home, but not in most of Chile) Refugio Misterios de Elqui was the perfect get-a-way with beautiful scenery. Breakfast was delivered every morning to our personal... More

No one replied to my emails to book, and then when I rang to find out what was happening they said they were full! I suggest anyone who wants to stay there be wary of their email system, or lack thereof.

I'm sure this must be the best in Elqui Valley! It was a delight, and so was the owner Jaime. Your backdrop is the stunning Elqui Valley mountains - almost too amazing to be real... and of course the vineyards. The rooms are simple, very tasteful and they all have some view of the pool (which doesn't feel like a... More

We went to Santiago to visit my daughter who is studying in Chile and decided to take a trip to La Serena. The map on Trip Advisor showed this place to be just on the outskirts of La Serena. We rented a car and headed East and soon realized this place was about 100 km from La Serena. We decided... More

It was very hard to find a clean hotel anywhere between Santiago to La Serena so finding this place was heavenly. It was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. There is internet access in the main areas just not in the cabanas. The views are spectacular. The night time sky is amazing. It was winter time and it we were traveling... More

Stayed here just one night (book ahead in high season!) and considered locking ourselves in to avoid leaving! Wonderful cabaña, private, breakfast delivered, amazing views from pool area and decks. Highly recommend Worth higher cost for a splurge.

This was one of the highlights of our 2 week Chilean trip. The drive from La Serena was became more and more scenic as we headed up from the airport. A good place to stop for lunch is in Vicuna at Halley's. The town of Elqui, narrowly stretched along about a mile of highway, is totally charming with many restaurants... More

Lovely cabanas, clean and spacious, located at the edge of town. Breakfast delivered to room. Great weather and made good use of the pool overlooking the valley. Food in the restaurant was delicious- made a fantastic Pisco Sour!

This is just a beautiful place in a wonderful setting run with a management style which is attentive without ever being obtrusive. We had stayed in Pisco Elqui a couple of years before and when we saw the place then, we vowed to return and stay there. We weren't disappointed.It's not cheap but the cabanas are beautifully furnished and everything... More
