Hotel Papillon
A friendly and efficient hotel providing an excellent base for visits to Paraguay's Jesuit Missions.
We reckon this is the best hotel on Paraguay’s Ruta Jesuita, at a distance of 2km from the town of Bellavista it’s a convenient base for visits to some of the ruins of the Jesuit reductions. The motel-style property is well-run and welcoming - the owner-managers speak English – and guest rooms are set within attractive subtropical landscaped gardens and grounds backed by farmland. Some have a balcony or terrace where you can relax and enjoy peaceful views.
The hotel's cosy pub-style bar and adjacent restaurant is popular with both local people and guests. You can dine à la carte or opt for the evening buffet and Brazilian-style grill. Within the grounds are sun terraces and outdoor swimming pool as well as plenty of space to relax outside on warmer evenings.

Our Expert's Opinion
The no-nonsense Papillon is amongst the best-run hotels in Paraguay's interior and focuses on the key essentials: a warm welcome, good food, and a comfy night's sleep. The draught beer goes down well too after a hot day at the ruins.
