Quincho Casa Hotel, Puerto Varas

Introduction

Exclusive and intimate, this delightful four-bedroom retreat, just 10km from Puerto Varas, brings the best in Chilean home-from-home hospitality to the magnificent landscapes of the Lake District. For those that can prise themselves from the cosy environs of the hotel’s welcoming lounge and gorgeous wood-beamed rooms the rewards are plentiful, with Osorno’s conical peak and shimmering Lake Llanquilhue just a stone’s throw away.

Accommodation

Quincho’s four suites use natural materials and textures to further enhance the homely feel. Named after birds native to the region, each suite has its own unique style from the mountain log cabin-aesthetic of Chucao to the country house elegance of Bandurria, the hotel’s spacious honeymoon suite. Inside each room you’ll find a range of amenities including WiFi, bathrobes and slippers while large windows let in plenty of light and make the most of those gorgeous Lake District views.

Dining

At breakfast, tuck in to pastries, homemade breads and jams, free-range eggs and a delicious array of fresh fruits. Then, as the day draws to a close, the flavours of the region can be found in a daily-changing menu of seasonal vegetables, fresh-from-the-lake fish and succulent local meats, all sourced from trusted local vendors and teamed with an extensive array of Chilean wines.

Facilities

An included programme of private excursions takes in the best of the local region with horse riding, kayaking, trekking and golf among the available options; longer excursions also include lunch in the form of a Quicho-style picnic or a sit-down meal at the hotel or a local restaurant. Rafting and catamaran trips to nearby Puella are also available as part of a larger group.
