The hotel was charming and so inviting. Andreanne was an exceptional host… she was a source of great information and recommendations. She guided us to excellent restaurants very near to us and arranged for a guided walking tour in Valparaiso also. The setting and the breakfasts were outstanding — It is a real jewel!

This place was so cute and perfectly appointed, but most importantly Christian and Audri were the best hosts ever! They helped arrange transportation to wine country, art tours in Valpo, gave us details on how to best visit the sand dunes and made reservations at several amazing restaurants. Breakfast daily, clean, beautiful garden area in a quiet and convenient area - Just blocks from the beach!

An oasis in the city close to everything I wanted to experience. The room was comfortable and quiet with a great shower, breakfast was delicious, and the owners were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They helped me arrange transportation and a winery tour and answered all of my questions about the area. I felt safer and confident traveling by myself and had a magical, relaxing stay. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

Amazing hospitality! The owners made a priority to ensure we took full advantage of our time spent in the area. Helped organize our days events, made amazing suggestions on places to visit. Having over two decades in the hospitality industry and working in 5 star resorts, this property exceeded expectations. Beautiful appointed and grounds were very inviting.

Magnifique et confortable

Mon séjour a été une belle surprise et très agréable. Andréanne et Christian sont des hôtes remarquables. Ils sont aux petits soins avec leurs clients. La chambre était super confortable. Pas de balcon mais un accès priviligié à un petit jardin aménagé par eux. Magnifique et décoré avec goût. La localisation de cet hôtel est parfaite. Proche de plusieurs cafés et restos à distance de marche. Christian a aussi des contacts précieux et il n'hésite pas à recommander des endroits. Andréanne nous a concocté un delicieux déjeuner le lendemain matin. Si je retourne dans cette région c'est à cet endroit que je retourne sans aucune hésitation . Vous ne regretterez pas.

Beautiful place to stay.

What an absolute gem of an hotel. It’s set down a quiet street but very close to nice bars, cafes and restaurants. Hosts are very warm and welcoming. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated. The whole place feels more like a home than an hotel. The little seating areas outside are a delight. We did have a slight issue with a lack of hot water the morning we were leaving. However, we didn’t have time to mention it, so I can’t complain that it wasn’t sorted. On the whole I’d thoroughly recommend staying here. Lovely.
