Accommodation is either in the main building, Casa Hacienda, or in the surrounding Casitas. The draw here is the wide open space, offering views over the valley in serenity and relaxing solitude. Architecture and interiors are inspired by the area’s cultural history, with colonial furniture, authentic Inca masks and handcrafted woodwork adding to the hacienda’s charm.
Who for
Singles, couples and families who want luxurious peace and quiet in the Sacred Valley
Accommodation
There are just 36 rooms, including 12 in the main building and 24 standalone Casitas or villas scattered around the grounds. We stayed in a spacious Casita, with a panoramic view of the fields and mountains from its own terrace. A comfortable King size bed with 100% pima cotton sheets, down duvet, hypoallergenic pillows and handmade wool coverlets ensured a good night’s sleep.

The large marble bathroom contained two sinks, separate shower and toilet, plus Inkaterra’s handmade toiletries, plush towels and a twin closet. Complimentary bottled water, gowns, slippers are all standard and there’s TV and iPod docking station. Even better, the evening turndown service supplied hot water bottles to keep us warm and cosy.
