I wanted to post a review of this hotel for a long time because I never saw such a group of useless staff: 1/ we initially booked for 2 nights and finally reduced to one night within the free cancellation timing and they tried everything to not refund that cancelled night including proposal to give us a 700 USD voucher for our only dinner on site: A joke!! It took us 10 emails + a physical visit in the hotel a week before our stay + reaching the main office staff to get a refund for the night. 2/ when arriving at the hotel, the room was very cold, so we asked the staff if the fire place was operational which they confirmed and to start the fire place. 5 minutes after the fire started we had to leave the room because the smoke was definitely exiting through the room instead of the chimney. So we asked the staff to stop the fire and had to open all windows for 1 hour before being able to get back into the room. 3/after that very cold night, I made the hudge mistake of having a bit of fruit salad for breakfast (we were in Peru for the last 2 weeks and I had fruit salad every day in other hotels without any trouble). That day I didn't have any other food before arriving in the afternoon. But once in Lima, I realised that I was totally sick with food intoxication and even had to go to the British American Hospital. Conclusion: this hotel has a beautiful setting BUT the staff is CATASTROPHIC and will spoil your stay. We are very recurrent clients of Relais et Chateaux hotels and really this one should be excluded from the brand. Precision: our actual stay was in august 2022 but Tripadvisor didn't let me input dates before november 2022
