Casa Real offers luxurious accommodation in the elegant setting of Santa Rita Vineyards in Chile's Maipo Valley.

This first-class hotel within an hour’s drive of Santiago airport is a fine place to unwind before or after your flight. Santa Rita Vineyard in the Maipo Valley is a classically romantic, Pompei-style estate with a beautiful restored neo-gothic chapel, Roman baths, cherubs, gargoyles and a museum of Andean artefacts.

The accommodation is in large, sumptuous guestrooms decorated in classic style with rich fabrics and polished wooden furniture. Each has a huge multi-paned picture window overlooking an internal courtyard featuring an ornamental pool and fountain.

Meals can be taken in the smart restaurant, where you can sample unique wine pairings, or ask for a gourmet picnic to enjoy in the grounds. The garden parkland, designed by a renowned French landscape architect, is dotted with ancient trees and ponds. You’ll also have the chance to visit the renowned Santa Rita winery and taste its premium wines.
