The island of Chiloe is the perfect place to relax, relieve stress and enjoy an atmosphere completely unique to the rest of Chile. Our duplex apartment is a secluded haven nestled among the trees, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the mystical atmosphere of the island. It is also a very romantic place.
The Space
When building our home, the first thing we did was to construct a water tower for our tank. It ended up being very big and tall, so we decided to design a guest house inside it.
'The Tower' has a tree house feel to it, with an amazing view of the ocean and the volcanoes on the horizon of the mainland. It is a beautiful, split-level apartment. Private and romantic for a couple, but with enough room for a small family, it has a queen-sized bed upstairs and a futon in the living room. The apartment sleeps up to three people, and it includes a kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower, and everything you need to feel comfortable.
Guest Access
Our guest have access to a private beautiful beach, walks in the forest, knowledgeable advice about what to visit and when (we have a travel company and have organised specialised traveling for 19 years) for free.
For a reasonable fee, our guests can have access to:
Sea Kayaks, paddle boards, yoga (private or groups class), cooking classes. Freshly made meals can also be arranged: We can make a special private meal for you or you can join our family for dinner which can be eaten at the studio or at sun room of our house, we don't provide lunch unless it is for a group.Breakfast is included.
Interaction with Guests
We always welcome our guests at their arrival and answer to their questions love to interact with our guests but also respect their privacy. Depending on the guests and our schedules we sometimes can be more available than others but there is always time for interaction in Chiloe where the pace of life is slower, we welcome their kids to play with with ours but this again will depend on now things evolve and of course the weather !!
The Neighborhood
We don't have many neighbours, the few we have live up the hill and they are wonderful people. We are lucky to be surrounded by nature and feel fortunate to have a large property and that gives us a lot or privacy.
Getting around
There is public transport and there are also taxis to and from Ancud. They can take our guests up to the top of the hill (400 mts. walk from the property)
If our guests rent their own car, a 4x4 will come all the way to the property, but a 4x2 will have to stay 400 mts up the hill.
Everyone who stayed was happy to walk and we help them out when needed.
Other Things to Note
We love and respect nature and have created a life here on this magnificent island where the air is clean, the rain is fresh and the storms are powerful. Chiloe is a generous and magical island that has welcomed us and gave us a home, we hope to help you have a taste of it and welcome you to paradise, for real ! even in the strongest storm with horizontal rain, you will feel that you are in paradise, all we ask our guests is to treat Chiloe and the beautiful Chilote people with the same respect they show towards us.
House Rules
Just lets be good to each other and lets be kind and respectful to nature, we are so fortunate that you are choosing to visit Chiloe, you are already starting unique an unforgettable journey

One last note about PROVISIONS>
Please buy your food in town before coming to stay, as there are no markets or shops nearby. There are, fishermen who stop on the beach--and you are welcome to buy fresh seafood from their catches--but this opportunity depends on weather conditions and other factors... so it is best to bring food (and anything else you might need from town) with you when you arrive. Thank you for having read it all and see you in Chiloe!
