Cabañas Caballieri

This property was an amazing find! In my opinion, everything written regarding this property, almost all positive, does not fully capture just how wonderful this place really is. It is conveniently situated on a hillside amongst the many tourist sites and wineries in the Pisco Elqui valley. The property itself is immaculate. The architecture of the buildings and the overall property layout is quite impressive. It’s beautifully landscaped with flora and has some very impressive stone work. You can really feel that the property owner put a lot of effort into making this property a peaceful sanctuary. It really does feel like an oasis. The suite we stayed in was spotless and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It also had a mini-kitchen that was also spacious, clean and fully equipped. We had no problem using any of the utensils. The bathroom was also pristine and quite large. We also had our own private patio, with seating and a barbecue grill. It also provided an amazing stargazing experience. In the morning, we would walk out onto the patio and enjoy views of perfectly aligned grape vines and fruit trees backed by a beautiful picturesque view of the rolling hills of the Pisco Elqui valley. The property is equipped with a beautifully situated swimming pool that is very tranquil. Each suite has their own assigned lounges which is really nice! There is a small town down the road where you could get some groceries, if you choose, or there are several nice restaurants. There are also several wineries in the area that serve food and allow you to enjoy a Pisco Sour amongst the vineyards. This property does not have its own restaurant. We were offered a breakfast for a nominal fee that was prepared by someone associated with the property owner. This breakfast was beyond anything we imagined and quite plentiful! There were fresh breads, meats and cheeses, fruits, and eggs delivered at the precise time it was requested. We ate it each morning overlooking the pool and all the beautiful gardens. It was lovely. There were always leftovers. Lastly, I want to mention the owner, Claudia. She was just amazing! She greeted us the moment we arrived like we were visiting an old friend’s home. She was there for us the entire time and provided many tips to explore the area. All were spot-on, including her restaurant suggestions. She could not have been nicer or more helpful. I would not hesitate one bit to highly recommend this property to anyone. I would stay there again if I happen to be in that area. Just book your room and enjoy the experience. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I didn’t really know what to expect from Pisco Elqui. As we drove in, we asked ourselves if we’d made the right decision to come here. Turns out, we were so glad we did. This hotel is beautiful once you get behind the secure gates. The stone work is spectacular. We stayed in the lovely Fuego room with a giant king-sized bed, kitchen, and indoor and outdoor seating just above the pool. You couldn’t manage this spot if stairs or mobility were an issue, but I think they have accommodations that don’t require the climb like Fuego did. Also, no breakfast included but it’s a short trip into town for food. There is secure parking at the place. Claudia is lovely and speaks beautiful English. Great communication through WhatsApp, which is ubiquitous in Chile.
