Book a Chiloe Island Cottage

"Charming and rustic hotel - love the wood craftsmanship and wooden ship details. Beautiful sunset view from the upper loft above the restaurant. Very clean and simple rooms at a price not seen in the USA since about the 1980’s. Food was excellent and breakfast buffet well appointed. Definitely would stay here again if we return to Chiloe."

"Wonderful location, secure parking and super friendly staff. Walking distance to all the sights of Castro. Warning if you plan to arrive into Castro after 6pm the traffic is dreadful!!"

"This is a fantastic property in Cucao, ideal for a few days of peace and quiet. The reception staff are very helpful and the rooms are a good size and well appointed (all have en suite bathrooms) and all have views out across the lake. The kitchen and lounge facilities are shared with the other guests, but this allows conversations and swapping tips about what to do and how to do it. It is easy to walk 5 mins down the road to visit the national park and there is a local bus that can take you to other viewpoints (e.g. Muelle de las Almas) but it only ran once up and once back per day when we were there. They do have a hot tub (wood fired, outdoors, uses the lake to source its water) which you can book at reception (they like 24 hours notice). Works better if you have a car (we did not, travelled to Cucao by local bus) and there is a local mini market for food supplies (they do not sell alcohol and they are the only shop in the village). There are restaurants and cafes within walking distance, but they are not all open all the time (we were there early season, so half of the restaurants were closed) and sometimes close early."

"La localización es excelente. Es tranquilo, muy limpio todo. Las personas que trabajan ahi son muy cordiales y profesionales. La comida es riquísima y la presentación bellísima. Volveremos "

"Comfortable rooms, friendly helpful staff, I don't speak Spanish and the staff have little English but google translate sorted that not problem, nice location and breakfast, well priced, there's a really good restaurant a few minutes walk as you head back to town, the crab pie was amazing, also check out the craft market for gifts, alpaca scarfs for 5000 peseso, around £4 hats, gloves, poncho all good price "

"Excellent experience in all aspects. Recommended!!!"

"Espectacular atencion, hotel con espacios muy comodos, ideal para descansar o salir de paseo si uno quiere. Habitacion con una vista muy linda y tamaño perfecto. Comida de muy buena calidad e intersante las propuestas de menus de experiencias que cambian cada comida."

"Alma Chilota was simply a fantastic property to stay at! Our room was large & beautiful, overlooking the water, and very well appointed - better than the online pictures. The small inn itself was full of local Chilean/Chiloe art and plants. I'd stay again and highly recommend it to anyone staying in Castro. "

"This is such a great, cosy place with wonderful, friendly staff. We ended up here at the last minute due to other lodging falling through, and they were super accomodating, getting us checked in early. The rooms are a good size with charming wood-trunk & plank furniture, and the bathrooms are super modern and up to date. The rooms have lovely views of the water (we started in one and shifted to the bigger room on our 2nd night). The breakfast was robust and they serve dinner if you don't want to head into town. If I had friends in the area, I'd absolutely recommend Cumbres!"
