Solar Madariaga Hotel

One of the most comfortable and friendly hotels I’ve stayed in. Beautiful, delightful, great food. Well-located, restful. A paradise.

Our 5 night stay at Solar Madriaga exceeded expectations. The staff was courteous and accommodating, including housekeeping, who did our laundry twice and the contracted transfer driver, Ruben. Communication via What's App prior to our visit was responsive, welcoming, and informative and helped with Spanish to English translation. The food at Aloe was fresh and delicious, and the drinks were both beautiful and of the highest quality. Both wait staff and bar tenders were great. Favorites included the veggie empanadas and the Elqui Pisco Mule. The property was tranquil and very quiet and all the historical aspects of its 100+ year old history were a delight - as were the lovely kitties in the courtyard. We did experience an unforeseen issue related to the age of the property on our last night, but the owners responded almost immediately to our report of a problem, and accommodated us to our satisfaction, quickly and with grace and courtesy. I would highly recommend this property for a peaceful stay in Vicuña and the Elqui Valley.

I had a fabulous stay Solar Madariaga. Gorgeous boutique hotel with lovely restaurant in a fabulous location to access all the key activities in the Elqui Valley.

Great service. Aloe on site restaurant great for dinner. Included breakfast also excellent. Great location walk to square but quiet.
