This is THE PLACE to stay in Lima. I struggled whether to stay in Miraflores or Barranco and SO HAPPY I chose Barranco. It is so much more charming and historical. And, this is THE PLACE to choose in Barranco! Such a beautiful old guest house that oozes charm and ambience with great nooks everywhere for enjoying a pisco sour, a book or just gazing at the beautiful Pacific! The views are spectacular, the service is first class and the rooms very large and comfortable!!! Great breakfast every morning to start your day. Ubers are everywhere to take you where you want to go if you want to visit old town Lima and miraflores is walkable or a short ride away! Barranco is a super safe neighborhood! I love old historic properties so much better than new sterile hotels and this one was probably our favorite of any where in the world and we travel ALOT! Just book it!

I loved it all!

Welcoming, comfortable, safe, and beautiful environment with incredible ocean views, sunsets, and inviting outdoor spaces. Breakfast that consisted of eggs, bacon, fresh bread, fruit, and coffee was served daily on the outdoor ocean view patio. It truly felt like a second home. Property is walking distance to coffee shops, shopping, and parks. Several fantastic restaurants are within one to two blocks of the property. The staff was very friendly. If you have the opportunity, sign up for the private art tour and collection of Victor Delfin, the famous Peruvian artist whose works are celebrated throughout the city and property. Management arranged for transportation from the airport and to our secondary location where we met our tour group.

Spectacular art by one of Peru’s most artists in a spectacular, unique setting perched above the ocean, with fabulous staff to top it off. I could have stayed there forever! This is possibly the last old mansion left on the Lima waterfront ( high rises have gobbled the rest), and is in Barranca, the most beautiful, quiet and picturesque part of Lima. Five days there was not enough! Special thanks to Carlos and Lillian, Delfina’s children who now run the Bnb. And yes, I did leave with some of his art.

Nothing

Sitting above the Barranco cliffs in Lima, a small colonial building, reasonably well equipped rooms, some with brilliant view, good breakfast, great staff, e.g. Luis, the helpful and super friendly guy who seems running the hotel's daily business. OUTSTANDING however is the atmosphere created by the works of the artist Victor Delfin who lives and works in the structures on the cliffs right below the core hotel building. All common areas including lobby and pool as well as the guest rooms are decorated with Delfin's paintings and sculptures. Luis can arrange a tour of the workshop and adjacent rooms of the artist -> by all means: do not miss it! PS: Victor Delfin is the creator of "El Beso", the sculpture in the Love Park above the Miraflores cliffs. PPS: I stayed 2 nights.

To be in this home/museum is a real treat. Everywhere one looked there was art. The grounds and public spaces oozed art. What an extraordinary opportunity to be surrounded by art and the ever present soaring vultures. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Great breakfast service, great bread, great eggs and bacon. Rooms were appropriately furnished and with lovely amenities. Super comfortable beds. Adequate outlets and individual bedside lights for reading. Multiple spaces throughout the property to relax and enjoy the beautiful location. The pool was super clean and absolutely lovely with fluffy towels to sunbathe. Staff could not be more friendly or accommodating. Excellent location to explore Barranco or relax and reset.

I cannot think of a thing.

During our stay in Peru, we had the pleasure of experiencing the unique charm of Second Home Peru, the Peruvian artist Victor Delfín's mansion. From the moment we stepped through the front door, we were greeted by an atmosphere of elegance and artistic flair. The entry hall welcomed us with its grandeur, adorned with large Versailles-style mirrors that added a touch of opulence. This grand entrance led us into a dining room with a coffered ceiling, exuding a sense of refinement and sophistication. On the other side of the first floor, we discovered a lounge area that sparkled with stained glass windows, showcasing an impressive collection of ancient pottery in curio cabinets. The focal point of the lounge was an exquisite inlaid piano, adding to the ambiance of artistic inspiration that permeated the space. Throughout our stay, we were captivated by the mansion's seamless blend of history, art, and luxury.

The location above the sea, quiet and very private. The home itself was stunning. Each time I entered a room I noticed another artistic detail. The wood of the construction and furnishings was lovely. Many private places to sit, read, or sun. Pool area was unique and again very private. Rooms were quiet with warm breezes and tastefully appointed. Very comfortable beds. Lots of outlets. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Staff available and professional with helpful suggestions. Bar had a good selection.

Cannot think of anything I did not like.

This hotel is located on top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is an old mansion that has been converted to a hotel/B&B and there are only 6 or 7 rooms. The view from the patio is absolutely stunning. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was large with a rain shower. It is also very close to a ton of good restaurants in Barranco. I would stay here any time instead of in Miraflores.

There wasn't anything that we did not like

We stayed here for one night on our last night in Peru. I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything about our stay here was magical. We loved being surrounded by Victor Delfin's inspiring art in the room, the common spaces, and the garden. The views of the sea were breathtaking, even with "Lima la gris" making it so we never saw the horizon or blue sky. We had pisco cocktails at sunset in the garden and watched the surfers from above. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was hot with good water pressure. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious--coffee, juice, bread, eggs, bacon, and fruit. The location was perfect--right in the middle of beautiful Barranco and a short walk down to the sea. We were hesitant to book because a night here was significantly more expensive than anywhere else we stayed in Peru, but it was absolutely worth it to stay in this one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast.

No negatives--we loved everything about our stay here.

What a wonderful place to stay and, as others have said, what a wonderful privilege to be able to stay in the home of Victor Delfin overlooking the sea. The location is superb, right on the cliff and metres away from some very good restaurants (we ate at the excellent Awicha). Our apartment was spacious, arty and we loved the balconies overlooking the sea. The bed was comfortable and the breeze through the windows was cooling and pleasant. Breakfast was simple but set in the lovely garden which was great. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Nothing was wrong, we really liked everything about our short stay.
