It was very cold in the room and they only have a small radiator. We asked for another heater, but they only gave us blankets...

Super nice stay. In the city but in a quiet street. Breakfast was great and rooms super clean. I would go back!

The Balcony is stunning; the views of Cusco from the property, the garden is beautiful + many of the restaurant herbs come directly from it, the rooms are lovely. This is a wonderful place to stay in Cusco, just a short walk to the Plaza and its sights, but tucked away enough to get a good night's sleep and feel like you're in a different world.

Phenomenal! This place was so warm and quaint. I absolutely loved my stay here. I recommend anyone who is looking for a unique stay in Cusco to stay here. Real fireplaces, fresh locally farmed food, and excellent housekeeping.
