A characterful boutique property perched on a hillside just outside Samaipata, designed to evoke the charm of a miniature colonial village.

The layout features cobbled paths, whitewashed façades, and individually themed guest houses arranged around a central plaza, creating a whimsical and welcoming atmosphere. Each unit is styled to represent a different part of a traditional town — from a chapel to a carpenter’s workshop — with thoughtful decorative touches and garden views.

The hotel offers a peaceful setting with panoramic views over the valley. Facilities include a small outdoor pool, sun terrace, garden, and a cosy restaurant serving international dishes. Breakfast is included, while there’s also a bar and outdoor fireplace, adding to the relaxed ambiance. Rooms vary in size and layout, but all include private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and basic amenities such as minibars and seating areas.

  • Highlight: “Seeing the physical geography of Bolivia and visits especially the silver mine and the mint.” 

    KS Apr 2010
  • Bolivia is very spectacular in terms of scenery but both food and hotels leave something to be desired. Not a problem for us but some might find it below expectations.
