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.

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.

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.

The location is excellent as it's near the waterfront with lovely views. It is also close to cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, museums, and the Bridge of Sighs in the Barranco neighborhood. On the property itself, there are various pieces of art and terraces for general enjoyment.

1.There is no supply of bottled water in the room. Upon request, I did receive boiled water for my use. 2. Accessing safe public transit is a bit challenging. I walked, biked or took a taxi to most places.

Single mom with four teenagers stayed for Christmas. I had visited once before 4 years ago so knew I would feel safe and secure with the location with the kids in tow. People mention the AC, but the breeze from the ocean is so strong we actually became chilled at night. Remember it IS summer there right now. Luis was very kind to arrange for taxi when we left the area and made sure we weren't taken advantage of as we spoke only English. The women who serves breakfast every morning is so sweet and accommodating. I love this place.

Nothing to complain about. No negative at all.
