Casa Alquimia Artes

Tarcisio and his partner are so lovely, and the space is full of light and warmth. We chose the cheapest option of rooms. The walls were thin and our room was small, but our stay was comfortable, and the garden was full of life!

The host was very nice and accommodating and was the best part of the stay. A few things could have made it better such as some lighting near the area as it’s difficult to find the place if you are checking in at night and it’s dark. The area around is very green and is around 12 minutes walk to downtown. He also helped and guided us very well with booking the nearby attractions. The room was okay with wood work, but slightly small. Overall a good stay with a hostel feel.

Our Host Tarsicio and his partner were extremely kind people. We liked the common dining area and shared kitchen all of which were kept very clean. It is an up hill walk to Santa Elena but we really liked the closely restaurants. It was a short walk to Curi cancha park which was awesome. A taxi to Monte Verde costs $7 US. Both parks were truly amazing. Tarsicio also hooked us up with a fantastic bird guide. To improve - screens on the windows so we could leave them open without insects coming in.

This was far from restaurants and transportation. It is more like a hostel with small rooms. Interesting building though but located on a side and dark road . Owners are very nice and friendly Wifi was good.
