Avis Spectacular Garden! Two Sunset Terraces, Near Wineries - 25 miles to Santiago

Property was quiet, secluded and tranquil. The grounds are well landscaped and maintained. Host offered bottled water upon arrival, and gave us many suggestions on what to do in the area (dining, hiking, wine tasting, etc.)

The setting is charming. A huge garden with a few buildings, isolated from the outside world. The house is all ceramic tiles 'from yore' which gives it an antique feeling (but with air conditioning and all the conveniences of home). One small comment. This home is dog friendly as advertised and has friendly dogs, who you will come in contact with. The host is easily the most helpful host we have ever dealt with. Informative, friendly and helpful. All her suggestions really improved an already great trip.

This place is amazing! House is on beautifully landscaped parcel of land and the owners are gracious hosts. House has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay.

This property was nice, but isolated. if this is what you're looking for , it's perfect. If you want access to town, restaurants, bars, don't stay here. the property itself is beautiful, just a bit far from action. Also, the wineries in Santiago are very far apart. So if you're after visiting them, stay in town and do organized day trips. The owner was very helpful.

Casa Ishi is like a dream you don't want to wake up from. Two gorgeous acres of gardens, a breezy, comfortable home, thoughtful little touches, prime location, charming hosts...there's nothing not to love here. The house itself is situated on a larger property with several buildings, including Michelle and Teiji's beautiful historic home. It was wonderful being able to wander around the garden and relax in the shade with a bottle of wine at the end of a day. My daughter spent the bulk of her time running around with two new puppies that arrived just 3 weeks before us, and charmed the pants off us all. While we were there, the peaches and avocados were ripe and we sampled quite a few of both. There are upper and lower terraces at the back of the house, overlooking the valley but still well protected by trees and vegetation. We had a leisurely breakfast on the terrace every day and watched the sunset every night. As a foodie and cook, I appreciated that the kitchen was outfitted with everything needed to create wonderful meals, in addition to a barbecue on the nearest patio for grilling. The bed linens were absolute heaven to sleep on and an abundance of plush bath linens were provided. The beds were so comfortable I never even missed my own while we were there. There is an air conditioner available if you need one, but we preferred throwing open all of the windows at the front and back of the house and cooling everything down with the glorious cross breezes that brought in smells from the garden as well as distant sounds of life from the valley. The town of Pirque is the epicenter of some of the best things Maipo Valley has to offer. A few of the valley's best wineries and restaurants are a 30 minute drive or less, including Concha Y Toro (in the center of Pirque) which we learned is the largest winery in the world. Gorgeous landscapes and recreation in the Andean foothills are also close by and accessible by car. Michelle and Teiji have great recommendations for places to visit should you need them. In Michelle and Teiji we found two like-minded souls who we are so lucky to have met. They graciously hosted us for an evening of good food (lamb roasted in their mud oven!), good drink and good storytelling. Travel is great but connecting with people when you travel is even better. We couldn't have had a better experience than we did thanks to these two and we will forever be grateful for the time we spent with them.

Our host, Michelle was great and took great care of us. If you love nature and being away from everything but also close to the vineyards, then this place is a must. Close to the Vinyard in the area and the property has so many nice places to enjoy the outdoors. We cooked steak on the grill an was able to connect with the outdoors and enjoy the sunset. Nuestra anfitriona, Michelle, fue genial y nos cuidó muy bien. Si amas la naturaleza y estar lejos de todo pero también cerca de los viñedos, entonces este lugar es imprescindible. Cerca de los Viñedos en el área y la propiedad tiene tantos lugares agradables para disfrutar del aire libre. Cocinamos bistec a la parrilla y pudimos conectarnos con el aire libre y disfrutar del atardecer.

I really can’t say enough about this wonderful property and the owners, Michelle and Teiji. It was truly an amazing property. The fruits that they have are abundant and very good. The garden is well manicured, lush, green and gorgeous. I would have been happy just staying at the property the whole time. Michelle was an great host and helped us with everything, literally everything. You need a rental car as the location is not within walking distance of markets and restaurants. Uber, DiDi and taxis aren’t reliable at that location. For us, the location and property was exactly what we wanted. We could hear the Maipo River and that was very relaxing especially while sitting on the terrace with some of the amazing Chilean wines we bought. It is close to a couple of wineries, Santa Rita and Concha Y Toro. Santiago is about a 45-60 minute drive. We would definitely stay there again!

The house is on a beautiful property in wine country and the Andes mountains. It was a great place to start and end the day - we loved sitting out in the yard and our son couldn’t stop picking and eating grapes and oranges off of the trees. Michelle was super helpful in giving us suggestions on how to best enjoy the area. Overall, it was a great experience.

I stayed in this property for for 1 week before traveling to southern Chile. The owners are extraordinary and took making my stay as good as possible to extreme measures. The grounds are beautiful and meticulously kept. The house I stayed in was perfect in everyway. I do not have any negative remarks on the property, location or managers. Everything was perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Ishi and hope to return in the future. The property was perfectly situated at the foothills of the Andes, in close proximity to wine country. The owners were responsive to all of our questions, before and during our stay. They were happy to show us how to use the mud oven, as well as offering fresh herbs to use in our cooking. The grounds were beautiful, and we enjoyed our evenings, sitting under a grape canopy, with a glass of wine. I would highly recommend this property for those looking for a few days of R and R, or as a longer-term rental and a great spot to base your stay in Chile.
