In a beautifully restored 1950s mansion in the quiet Vallecito residential district of Arequipa, just a short walk or cab ride from the main Plaza, it features elegantly designed guest rooms, with nicely chosen antiques and very comfortable beds. Fresh flowers are placed in every room and throughout the house. The excellent bathrooms, several with tubs, are of gleaming marble. The breakfast buffet and personal attention is first class.
