Hotels in Chile

If you want to stay in the heart of the Elqui Valley and be nearly as remote as one can be while still having incredible WiFi - this is the spot! We spent one night here but should have booked more. The only tricky piece about this spot is getting here off the main road. While it isn’t a far distance you really should have 4WD. The road is tight and severe switchbacks. You also need to bring in food with you especially if you don’t have a car. Each unit is exquisitely designed to allow you to cook dinners indoors or out with a regular sized fridge and freezer to boot. To say this place is magical might be a vast understatement. We spent the late afternoon hiking up to the scenic lookout (although each unit has its own incredible views and privacy for late nights in the hot tub). We spent the next 2 hours by the pool which given how hot it is actually had cool water for swimming and lovely shaded lounge chairs. We brought in drinks and a pizza with us for our evening and it was perfect. We turned off all the lights and just sat outside watching the moon rise over the mountains as the sunset. After we spent hours soaking in the hotel tub watching more stars appear in the sky. Just magical! The interior is well appointed too with great bedding, linens, towels and vegan shower products that smelled and felt like luxury after having traveled for so long. For breakfast the following morning, we were brought a delicious selection of fresh fruit, granola, yogurt, croissants, cheese and more! Each unit it also outfitted with a tea pot, tea, a moka coffee maker and ground coffee! If we ever have the chance to come back to the Elqui Valley we will 1000% book this spot again! Also - be sure when in the area to book the 3 hours tour and wine tasting at vinedos de alcohauz! The guide essentially gave us the entire history of the area from different stops along the tour that changes in elevation 5 times! The vineyard is magnificent.

In an absolutely beautiful spot overlooking the estuary, delicious breakfast, convenient by car to both the city and the ocean.

We really enjoyed our stay as a couple at Hotel San Giorgio. We wish we would have planned to stay for more than just one night. The room was inviting and the bed was comfortable. The small balcony was a nice bonus. What makes this hotel special are the people. We were well received and enjoyed all of the interactions we had with the staff. We were able to visit the cinema, and encourage others to do the same, as well the museum. Capitan Pastene and Hotel San Giorgio are places to be treasured in Chile.

The host, Paula!! She was top notch - so helpful, knowledgeable, kind & took time to help us with our trip planning despite being very busy! The ambiance was lovely!

So clean, very nice interior and bathroom. Super tasty breakfast and wonderful staff.

Great views, interior is exceptionally well designed. Carlos’s, our host, was extremely helpful. Breakfast was delicious and rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. Highly recommend and would stay again, a highlight of our trip.

The staff was incredibly responsive and helpful, adjusting to our early morning schedule for breakfast and regularly checking that all was going well for us.

The hotel was beautiful and well-maintained, offering a stunning view of the sea. We particularly enjoyed the top-floor terrace with our welcome drink. The location was convenient, and the secure parking nearby, though at an extra cost, was a big bonus, given the difficulties finding safe parking in town. The staff were friendly and helpful, with special commendation to Ettien, who efficiently help us with a billing problem. Excellent service!

I loved! I was really impressed by the lake view. It was really being away from land. I'll definitely come back next time! (: Thank you all guys!

Trekking Beautiful place and fishing

This property is super charming! The staff is amazing and super helpful. The breakfast is brilliant. We encourage the guest to have dinner there - we loved the food and wine they served!

The Hostal was even more lovely than it appeared in pictures and we could see the ocean from our window. There was so much natural light during the day as well. The WiFi was perfect and never failed. The breakfast was abundant and wonderful— scrambled eggs, fresh baked Chilean bread, fruits, jams, cheese and ham, manjar, fresh juices and tea/coffee service. We loved visiting with the owners and the other guests, and everyone had recommendations to share with us regarding places to go and things to do— it was so helpful! At night and in the morning, we were able to self-serve coffee/tea and water and use the dining room to bring in outside food if we decided to eat in and make our own “tea time”. It felt like being at home! At the be of our stay, I realized I had left my passport in the room and I was traveling to the US the very next day but I had already taken a bus to Santiago. The owners arranged to bring my passport to me in Santiago the very next day! Their care and concern for us was genuine and sincere. It felt like family! I have already recommended the Hostal Cofa to many friends, near and far.
