Byron was very helpful in getting us checked in and sharing information about the property and its amenities. We enjoyed our stay and found the family suite spacious. Breakfast was delicious (they allow seconds of any dish), street parking in front of the hotel entrance was easy. Facility is charming. The only oddity is the very tall sink height in the bathroom. Other than that, we found the location excellent and the staff warm and friendly. The resident cat, Loy, was a charmer.

An oasis of calm. Stay there!

We arrived to an excellent welcome, a tour of the hotel and room. We could not have felt more at home, a treat after being on the road for 6 weeks. As we came more familiar with the hotel, restaurant and bar, the welcoming and friendly spirit of all of the staff team was at the fore. The sympathetic design of the room and communal areas again is just relaxing. The town of Vicuna is also a treat in chilled atmosphere. We booked one night, stayed two only because we had to be somewhere. We wish we could have stayed longer. Juan was particularly engaging and great English too.

Das Hotel war ein Highlight auf unserer Reise. Familiengeführt, herzlicher Empfang und sehr bemühtes Personal. Die gesamte Anlage ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und man hat uns mit Tipps zur Umgebung unterstützt. Innenhof und Pool waren (Dank vieler Blumen) ein angenehmer Ruhehafen, sodass wir unseren Aufenthalt noch verlängert haben.

Beautiful boutique hotel with original details (wood floors, high ceilings etc) set around two courtyards and indoor/outdoor restaurant. The bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed the soaking tub in the beautiful spacious bathroom. Lovely pool (unheated) which unfortunately we didn’t have time to use and apparently two hot tubs you can reserve (they were full during our stay). The Aloe restaurant is nice and stays open pretty late which is helpful if you’re doing an astronomy tour. The staff were very friendly and arranged a packed breakfast for us when we had to check out early to catch a flight. We regret we only had one night here and would certainly return!

Of all the accommodations we rented during our 3 weeks in Chile, this was the only one that contacted us to prepare for our arrival. Upon arrival, the person at the reception offered us a tour of our room and then the accommodation, which is sensational. It was clearly going to be the best of our stay. One of the reasons we also chose this accommodation was the Aloe restaurant, which had vegan options on their menu. We were hungry and went straight to the restaurant, but unfortunately, there weren’t real vegan options. There was either cheese or eggs used for the bread. The waitress was very kind and honest with us and replaced the bread with rice cakes. We used the laundry service. Impeccable. We used the pool and we were alone. The reception always helped us with our questions with a smile.

Mein Mann und ich hatten das Vergnügen, im Solar Madariaga Hotel in Vicuña zu übernachten, und wir waren von unserem Aufenthalt begeistert. Das Hotel liegt im Elqui-Tal welches eine tolle Landschaft bietet. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und sauber, wenn und entgegen unserer Sorge in der Nacht, ab ca. 22:30 Uhr sehr ruhig. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir haben uns sofort wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Das Hotel verfügt über einen Pool, einen Whirlpool und einem sehr guten Restaurant, das köstliche regionale und internationale Küche bietet. Ein Highlight unseres Aufenthalts war die Möglichkeit, an einer Sternenbeobachtung direkt im Hotel-Patio teilzunehmen. Das Hotel hat ein eigenes Teleskop und wir konnten die Sterne in voller Pracht genießen. Der Guide war sehr visiert und hat uns vieles gezeigt und erklärt (auf Englisch, was in Chile schon eine Besonderheit ist). Es war eine schöne Erfahrung, die wir jedem empfehlen können. Das Hotel bietet eine einladende und entspannende Atmosphäre, die perfekt für einen erholsamen ist. Es ist hat top Ausgangslage zur Erkundung des Elqui-Tals.
