Casa De Aida

My father and I were lucky to spend a few nights with Aida and her family while mountain biking in Peru's Sacred Valley. We arrived in Calca on the first night lost, hungry, and unsure of our surroundings. Aida sent out her daughter? to find us wandering the streets, communicating with us in broken languages. They brought us back, served amazing food grown on their plot, and settled us into beautiful rooms before our long week in the mountains. I'll never forget the experience. Thank you all for welcoming us into your home during a time of geopolitical unrest. You made our trip to your beautiful country.

A lovely stay at this hidden gem in Calca, just a few minutes' walk from the town square. Parking out front was easy. On a sunny day with blue skies, the garden and mountain views are stunning. Ursula e Italo were wonderful hosts.

My friends and I stayed at Casa de Aida for several days during a mountain biking trip in the Sacred Valley and loved it. The hosts were charming and generous. Each morning they made us a great breakfast before our rides, showed us the art studio on site, and shared fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. We also enjoyed getting to know their pets, including dogs, a rabbit, and a chicken. They had good suggestions for evenings and arranged a fun visit to a vintage fonograph museum in the neighborhood. I'd gladly stay again if I make it back to Peru.

What a delight. The house and garden are beautiful, and it's very close to Cusco's main square. We stayed in the lovely garden apartment. The breakfast was great, and the hosts are carrying on their parents' and grandparents' tradition. We'd certainly stay here again if we're back in the Sacred Valley.
