We loved this place. It is really beautiful. The grounds are spotless, the breakfast is amazing - the breakfast room looks like a museum. The main building does indeed look and feel like a castle. It really shows that the owner has put a lot of love in this place. We absolutely loved, and I wished we stayed there longer.... more

Really nice hotel, great breakfast too in a lovely breakfast room. Its about a 20 minute walk or 3 soles taxi into Arequipa from here so not too far, the only complaint I could have about this place is that if you don´t want to go into town at night for something to eat there is nowhere nearby to get... more

Huge airy room and superclean. Friendly and helpful staff. Interesting dining room set amongst a preserved archeological dig. A lovely 15 min. walk through the leafy suburb to reach the old town (in preference to that main road). more

4 of stayed at this hotel for our trip to Arequipa. We had 2 double rooms. They were spotless. Breakfast was delicious. The price was excellent and it was in a perfect location, within walking distance of the city but the area itself is a peaceful oasis. A taxi is only 3 soles. They obliged us by leaving our bags... more
