Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

Great choice if you don’t need hotel facilities, but do want apartment facilities! The apartment was bright and clean. Wifi worked very well all three days. Comfy bed. Spacious enough. Towels were provided. Nice view with sunset over the city. Bit warm as it has afternoon sun, but a sort of AC / fan was provided and it cools off a lot during the night. Checking-in was very smooth: you arrive at the building, enter, and go to the left, to the elevators of tower C. Go to the 15th floor, the office is in apartment 26. We were greeted friendly and an English skype connection was immediately set up so that we could ask anything we want and get info on the building etc in English. At the office self they spoke Spanish and Russian. The reception downstairs is 24/7 and taxis are waiting in front of the building 24/7 as well. Large supermarket just 20 meters away on the other side of the street is a plus as well.

I wish there was a 10-star rating I could give Clos Apalta because it was that good. We'd been trying to come here for almost a year, with the trip being put on hold because of Chile's long quarantine requirements. We finally decided to come in Nov 2021. It turned out that all the other guests had cancelled and the property had been shut down for the season to get some upgrades done. Rather than cancel on us, though, Joaquin, the manager, opened the hotel *just for us.* This meant, incredibly, that we had this already extremely intimate property all to ourselves to explore by foot, bike and horse. In addition to the incredible natural beauty, the service here is impeccable. The food is insanely delicious - I couldn't believe the chef is just a very, very talented local guy rather than someone they've flown in from some Michelin kitchen in France. Dragan, the sommelier, made sure our glasses were never empty and that we got to sample the ample bounty of namesake libations on offer. The real cherry on the top of the Sunday was Joaquin offering to book us a night *for free* at the Mandarin Oriental in Santiago after we missed our flight because of a very intense traffic jam (fortunately we were able to get out on a later flight, but the offer was very much appreciated!). Chile is already one of our favorite countries in the world, and now Clos Apalta is one of our favorite properties! We would absolutely come back here on future trips.

Nogalia has been designed taking care of every detail to achieve an intimate contact with nature, in fact it is located on a field of century-old walnuts, and during its construction it was guarded to keep intact this natural patrimony. In addition, because it is located 12 km from San José de Maipo, in the village of San Alfonso, it has that renewing and healthy air of the mountain range, especially when waking up, where every morning you can see in detail the range of colors In the sky and the landscape. The tourist center Nogalia consists of 7 cabins full equipped, each one has inside a walnut and allow a wide view of the landscape, Since each one has large windows and large terraces to relax and rest. It also consists of swimming pool, fire pit, outdoor hot tub, playground and green areas.
Loved the large airy cabins in this tranquil setting of wallnut trees. Our cabin easily accommodated our family of 5 as it had 1 dbl, 1 twin and a tiny single bedroom, a bathroom, an open kitchen/living area as well as a large deck with parilla (BBQ). Although we did not use it, there was a fire pit area in the garden too. We all loved the fact it was built around an 120 year old wallnut tree. No insects at night so could leave all windows open. It has a small pool area, a trampoline (dug in the ground), a cubby house so kids were happy. Down the street (2 min walk down the hill), there is a very simple but good restaurant with authentic dishes, also a few small kiosks with fresh bread and fruits, etc. 4 min walk is a great horse riding hacienda which gives amazing 3 hour horserides to a waterfall (so bring your bathers). Not for the faint hearted though! Owner and manager very friendly.

Perfect in every way, we spent two nights there 2 adults and a child and found it wonderfully relaxing. The people are genuinely friendly (and their dogs lovely). The design of the place is world class with very nice attention to details in everything. The location couldn't be better, far enough away from the town to be relaxing, but close enough to be connected. Will definitely return. Congratulations, these people know how to build an experience.

The place is beautifully maintained and managed by its own owners. They take care about recycle stuff. The cottage is nice and comfortable with a beautiful ocean view. The kitchen is well equipped with the necessary to spend a few days, but you don’t need to worry about this because there are many restaurants with excellent sea food with good prices. The shower with no strong water pressure. Cottage is surrounded by lots of green with flowers and bushes. The owners Daniel and his mother Catalina, are attentive to any need you have and to give you recommendations of the places to visit. Staying here was a good experience that I highly recommend.

Three cabins with the architecture of Domes in Pichilemu, our sector is on the way to the beach of Punta de Lobos. We are located next to the beach in one of the best places in the world for the practice of surf. A quiet place ideal for the family, friends, and couples. Private access to the beach. We have two cabins for 4 persons and one with the capacity of 6 people. With a nice view of the sea and the hills of Punta de Lobos. The cabins have large windows toward the sea and a terrace to enjoy the sea air and BBQ nights. We provide bed sheets and bath towels (included in the price). We offer a daily cleaning and bath towels changing also included in the cost. The domes are furnished with all the required for a nice stay (microwaves, kitchen, stove, blender, freezer, tea, coffee, etc.) We are Pet-Friendly, so you can come and stay with your pet!
If you want to rest and to disconnect hearing the Pacific Ocean perhaps this is the best option, the domes have direct access to the beach and are very confortables, close to restaurant, pubs and Market, without losing the place calm. Nicolás is a great host, very helpful and friendly

This place is so much better than websites show! The owners are not doing a good enough job self advertising. We rented two cabins for two families traveling with teens. The cabins were bigger than I thought they would be. First floor has a cozy living room with an additional couch good for an extra guest, a TV with cable, wifi, full kitchen including apt size refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave. Second floor had 2 rooms: 1 queen bed in one room and a bunk bed with twin on top and full size below. ⚠️WARNING for anyone over 5'11"..the queen bed is short. My husband's feet hung over the wooden footboard. But beds were comfy. The back patio has a covered terrace where we grilled nightly, watched stars and listened to the roaring river below. There is also a beautiful brick path that takes you to a large deck over the river. There is pool, game room, trampoline and hot tub. Provided: towels for the four of us, clean linens, a basket of wood daily, a basket of fresh bread, eggs, coffee, tea each morning. Cajon de Maipo is a 5 min drive. There we did hiking, white water rafting, horseback riding, ziplining and ate at restaurant one night. Ill be back again for certain!

Only 7 deluxe cottages, completely equipped, for 2 upto 8 persons capacity, located in the best spot of Punta de Lobos, only 200 meters from the beach and waves for surfing. They have privacy and silence, ocean view, wifi, cable TV, free parking, completely equipped kitchen, barbecue and daily clean-up service.
Unlike the 'surfer's design' look & feel from other lodges in Punta de Lobos, the Cantomar cabañas have much of a home feeling, plenty of space with complete kitchen furniture, some of them have 3 rooms with 3 beds each. They run out of electricity sometimes, but this won't be an issue to the ones searching for the natural vibes from Punta de Lobos. You'll be 15 min. walking to the beach.

Comfortable cabins for 2 to 4 people, fully equipped, private parking, serve throughout the year, natural surroundings, close to the park Agustin Ross palm groves, pines and eucalyptus. Bright rooms with amazing views, private baths. Children's play area with perimeter security lock. Two blocks from the main beaches, and one block from downtown and commercial areas of Pichilemu.
We arrived at midnight looking for accommodation after having to refuse Lemudomos for "poor everything", and Sra Alejandra was wonderful, she gave us an apartment with enough separate beds for everyone and with a neat kitchen and bathroom, satelite TV and towels. Very quiet and tidy and they were very flexible and understanding of our circumstances. You just have to take your toiletries. And it wasn't even more expensive. Would highly recommend. Llegamos a la medianoche sin reserva por tener que rehusar quedarnos en Lemudomos por sucio y e ineficiente. Sra Alejandra nos atendio regio, el departamento era muy comodo, con piezas separadas y camas individuales para los tres, con cocina y banio privado y TV satelital. Tranquilo, impeque y my gentil atencion, muy recomendable.
