El Resguardo is a special place. An old customs building in the Andes on a very quiet road. Authentic. Patricio welcomed us in a warm manner making us feel at home immediately. The restaurant Rio where we enjoyed a delicious home cooked dinner by Patricio’s spouse is an experience on itself. Extensively decorated and heated by a wood stove. National Geographics from the 60ths in case one would get bored. Some nice wines on offer as well and all reasonably priced. The property furthermore houses 8 or so friendly dogs, several cats, a horse and chickens.

This is a different experience. If you only like Four Seasons, this may not be for you!

Agustin, Patricio and his family were the most excellent and accommodating hosts. We arrived in the evening to cocktails and a fantastic greeting. The property felt like home. Safe parking, friendliest guard/loving perros, excellent piscot sours and billiards with vinyls in the salon. The dinner was an incredible blend of local homemade bread, vegetables, and perfectly cooked steak with a scratch chocolate cheesecake! The fires were stoked, historical stories were told and in the morning we had perfectly cooked huevos paired with aromatic coffee and smoothies to send us on our way to Portillo. We could not have asked for better hosts! Muchos Gracias!

There were too many instruments to choose from to play in the salon throughout the evening. I didn’t have time to get food at them all… joking! There was nothing bad. It was amazing.

What truly made the experience stand out was the warm and welcoming nature of the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt right at home. The house itself was a marvel surrounded by beautiful nature – each corner adorned with unique and beautiful decorations that added an extra layer of charm to the stay. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all freshly made with local products and delicious. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for an unforgettable and delightful getaway.

No negative points

Little family hotel in a beautiful original building, which the owners have renovated little by little and have further expansion plans, with a gourmet restaurant. We really enjoyed the dinner and breakfast, simple but tasty, with fresh vegetables from their huge garden and home made produces, and the many details to make the stay comfortable (pool towels provided, etc.). It was also super special to relax & sip some local wine by the "pool", a little natural pond with fresh mountain water. The hotel is a little off the beaten track and we stayed only one night during our tour, but can be a good base for hikes or walks, and/or a perfect stop on the road to Argentina (Puente del Inca & Mendoza). We warmly recommend what could be called a cross between a farm/eco stay with a countryside boutique hotel (or create a new category ;)...) and wish all the best to our hosts.

Nothing.

A very personal touch from A to Z. You actually step back into time and reside in an old house with lots of history. The host speaks perfect English and makes you feel super welcome. We also had an excellent dinner there which was made by the hosts sister who used local products made on their own farm. We want to return in a small group and reserve all 3 rooms and enjoy the place again. Fabulous hiking just on his doorstep with no other tourists in sight. If you want something off the beaten path, you got it!!

The staff were fantastic. Very welcoming and the food was amazing (be sure to book in for dinner) with a focus on using local produce. The property is unique and a real part of Chilean history.

Everything was great but was a little difficult to find the property. We love animals but this would not be the place for you if you don't like dogs.

I could not have been more pleased with my stay at Casona el Resguardo. It is elegant not fancy, historic but contemporary, secluded & peaceful, and the staff were expert at hospitality and serving an excellent dinner outside under the eaves. Quintessentially rural Chilean and delightful, thank you!

Just a slight confusion about the bill but that could have been my fault.

This is a beautiful place to stay - it has so much history, charm and character. The rooms are big, the gardens are lovely and everything comes together to give you a wonderful experience. The hosts are amazing and the location is perfect.

Nothing.

From the outside it looks like nothing, but wait until you walk into the courtyard of this beautiful 100 year old home. Wow!!! It was purchased by their Great Great Grandparent's years ago and still run by the family. The home is filled with their Great Great Grandmother's treasures. It is a very relaxing, comfortable home. We arrived in time to spend our afternoon relaxing in the court yard. The owners, Carlos (i believe) and his sister run the hotel now. Carlos makes delicious Pisco Sours. His sister is the chef. They have an organic garden where they pick the salad and vegs from. A must is their dinner. It was a beautiful evening so we sat outside in the terrace area and enjoy our delicious dinner. I wish we could have stayed longer.

There was nothing we did not like.

A home away from home in the Andes. Gourmet food (seriously!) and fantastic Pisco Sours! We loved the dogs and cats, the ‘River’ swimming pool and the vinyl records! Excellent base to drive Los Caracoles highway to Portillo, and visit Juncal Andean Park for a day hike.

Nothing!
