AYCA La Flora Hotel Boutique

The owners were so hospitable, they made it feel like we could use the hotel as a second home. The garden is one of the best in Valparaiso, and you can see the sea from it. Possibly one of the best hotels I've stayed at. If you've found this place, I'd book it without searching any further.

The owners and staff were so attentive that they made this charming place feel one of a kind, and they offset a few drawbacks. There isn't a TV, storage for clothes is limited, toilet paper can't be flushed, and hot water can take up to five minutes in the morning. The service and setting are exceptional. This small boutique hotel has a bed and breakfast feel, in a completely remodeled former mansion. The owners saved and incorporated many personalized touches from the original building. Gardens and sitting areas outside have harbor views, and breakfast is outstanding. It's also well placed for exploring Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion.

The staff were caring, attentive, and went out of their way with city recommendations. Camila in particular was so considerate and helpful, and we really appreciated everything she did. The hotel was lovely: clean, nicely decorated, and homey. Our room smelled great and had a very good ocean view. The garden was gorgeous, and breakfast was great.

The owner even opened the kitchen before sunrise so I could have coffee and snacks before an early trip to San Antonio. She had also arranged safe transportation for me, which I appreciated. I had no reservation because I was in Chile for work, but they welcomed me with open arms and found me a room right away. The owner and whole staff were exceptionally kind and took care of every detail. From the start, I felt special. They welcomed me with a pisco sour, showed me around the hotel, explained its details, and suggested tourist spots to visit in my free time. The facilities were immaculate and well organized, with an elegant, cozy design that made me feel at home. The terrace and garden were charming places to relax with a glass of wine or coffee in the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. The rooms have the bohemian, historic character of Valparaíso, with vintage elegance and modern comfort. Their design honors the city's artistic and architectural heritage while keeping things cozy and relaxing. The hotel is beautiful and peaceful, and the genuine care made my stay unforgettable. It balances elegance with the comfort of home. I'll definitely come back.
