Fantastique bijou. Warning French credit cards
I can’t thank the staff (Italo and Nathalie) enough for making our stay wonderful. They helped us through the difficulties with the credit cards for the payment. ( see note below). The hotel is a jewel.. and well converted house, full of character. If you want spacious chain hotel … go to the Ibis, but if you want to experience a boutique hotel full of charm, with a wonderful roof top breakfast area with a view of the city, then this is for you. The location is ideal for exploring Valparaiso if you don’t mind the hills. We loved our stay in this city. Note of warning to French travellers: There is a general problem in Chile with Visa cards issued by French banks. When paying by credit card in hotels or for the guarantee deposit for a hire car… the cards do not work. The hire car company told us … it is always a problem with French cards. You have been warned.
