Lovely place
Publié le 28 févr. 2024 sur HomeAwayLarge house with lovely gardens. Very clean and well equipped, having a car helped as it’s a bit far to walk to town all the time. Very happy with our stay, kids loved it

Heat lacking in home
Publié le 1 juill. 2022 sur HomeAwayI love so many things about this home, but the lack of avaliable heat really dampered my love. There are the two mentioned fireplaces for heat sources, and no wood was provided for a fire on nights that dipped into the 30's F. Our late arrival didn't allow for a firewood run, although I will say Zarela was very kind to go pick up chicken for us that evening so we were fed and she may have helped to arrange firewood too if we had caught the issue sooner. She arranged for firewood the second night after our guide called her to insist that should have been provided with our stay.
The bedrooms were chilly the second night as well, but plenty of covers were provided. Space heaters for the bedrooms would be nice. I also wasn't sure if it was appropriate to use the bedroom fireplace since it didnt look used or have fire making materials.
The place is lovely and could be so much more with a bit of refreshing. We'd have appreciated more than one pillow per person and not having to sleep on scratchy decorative pillowcases. Some of the light bulbs provided a strobe effect in the hallway and could be replaced, and lighting in general was dimmer than I'd prefer. Water could be warmer.
But otherwise this was a nice place to relax after busy days exploring the Sacred Valley. The grounds were lovely and the rooms nicely apportioned. The owner is super sweet and Zarela is helpful. If they can address the heating or you come at a warmer time of the year I'd recommend it.

Quiet and peaceful, perfect location!
Publié le 21 mai 2019 sur HomeAwayWe loved the quiet and peacefulness of this home; plenty of space to relax indoors and outside in the beautiful garden. The location is very convenient to walking to town for supplies or restaurants or even walking to the train station for our trip to Mach Pichu.
Breakfast and evening meals prepared by Zarela were great to start and end our days of exploring the wonders of the Sacred Valley. The best part of our trip was spending time with Isaias (our guide recommended by Cathy) experiencing the beauty of the mountains and valley; words can not express the beauty you will find here. We loved waking up to beautiful mountain scenery every morning. and touring and hiking the lovely Valley. Perfection! We would love to visit again and stay right here!
Cathy was also very helpful and accommodating when our plans went astray and we needed to check in a day early-her response to a stressed traveler was "nothing is impossible"-just what we needed to hear!

Comfortable stay.
Publié le 17 févr. 2019 sur HomeAwayThe location is excellent, i.e. in the middle of all the major attractions and relatively lower altitude compared to other area. House is huge and quiet and is within walking distance to the store. The market is very interesting to visit. Catherine , the owner, was very helpful to connect us with a local guide , Edwin. Edwin has a nice van and he looked after all our needs the whole time (5 days) including airport pick up and drop off; Private day trips to the major attractions on 2 days; pick up and drop off to the train station on the day to Machu Picchu; helping us to buy machu Picchu admission and bus ticket; helping us to find currency exchange and shop for food. Edwin was very attentive to our need and interest and we were able to see the best scenery of Cusco area. The onsite care-taker, Zarella was able to get us some basic food items prior our arrival which was very helpful. She also cooked two lovely meals for us. The only thing I want to suggest is to improve the lighting inside the house.

Great, Great, GREAT Place! The only place to stay in the Sacred Valley!
Publié le 2 juin 2018 sur HomeAwayCathy's place is the best! She was so helpful in providing helpful hints for travel and touring in Peru, from getting thru the airport, to what to see and what to miss if you are on a tight schedule. The property is much larger than what is shown in the pictures. Beds were comfy and plenty warm. A little chilly in the mornings, but nothing that the space heaters couldn't take care of.
We also hired Isaias as a driver and tour guide for 3 of our 4 days here. He picked us up at the airport, helped us do some shopping in Cusco, before heading down to Urubamba and got us all settled. He dropped us off and picked us up at the train to Machu Pichuu our first day, and was our tour guide for the two days after that. Very knowledgable in the ancient history of the Incas and native Indians.
Property also has an on site manager, Zarella, who will also shop & provide meals for you on request. Highly recommend at least one or two meals. We had her cook her Loma Saltonado! Superb!
Even though we will likely not get back to Peru, we'd stay here again in a heart beat!
Thanks Cathy for sharing your lovely vacation home with us.

I was so relieved when you arrived at the house. When your flight was cancelled i knew it can throw things off but it all worked out. Isaías is amazing and I knew you were in good hands.
The house is fun and Zarela cooking typical Andean dishes adds to the Sacred Valley experience.
Thank you for staying with us. Cathy, Zarela and Isaías

Wonderful property and people!
Publié le 4 avr. 2018 sur HomeAwayI highly recommend this comfortable and relaxing home for a visit to the Sacred Valley! My family recently spent several days exploring the beautiful Valley and surrounding sites and were so happy to come home to this lovely spot and delicious home-cooked food by Zarela at the end of every day. Cathy, the owner, was so helpful in recommending things to do and alleviating my worries about keeping my 4 teenagers fed and entertained! She also connected us to a wonderful guide and driver, Edwin, who made us feel very comfortable and showed us many of the highlights and out-of-the way places we never would have discovered on our own. We had an amazing trip that included Macchu Piccu, horseback riding, visiting an animal sanctuary, and eating cuy like a local. We had a wonderful and unforgettable visit - so grateful to Cathy, Edwin, and Zarela!

perfect home for exploring Sacred Valley
Publié le 24 mai 2017 sur HomeAwayWe landed in Cusco and headed straight to the house, perfect for acclimating to the altitude. The house was roomy and comfortable and the gardens and mountain views were gorgeous. Cathy arranged a driver, Isaias, who picked us up at the airport and was available for us during our entire stay for very reasonable fee. He took us to explore Pisac, Ollyantaytambo, to and from train station when we went to Machu Picchu, through Moray, stopping for pictures, whatever we wanted to do, just a great guide! Zarela made us breakfast each day and a couple dinners upon request as well. Again, very reasonable fee and she did the shopping and preparation. She is a sweet lady and wonderful cook. We took some DVDs to watch in the evenings, but ended up reading by the fireplace instead. So cozy!
I highly recommend Cathy's house. She was quick to answer questions, and make sure we were all set.
Thank you, Cathy. We loved it!

It was wonderful for all of us to be given the opportunity to help with your journey to The Sacred Valley.
The fire in the fireplace is a lovely way to relax after touring and share the events of the day.
You were open to suggestions which is a delight for us. Zarela loves cooking a special meal and showing off her chef apron and hat! Fun times.
Thank you so much for staying in my casa.

The house is beautiful, fully equipped, and perfectly situated to explore all the sights.
Publié le 22 juill. 2016 sur HomeAway
We stayed for a week with my self, my husband and two children aged 8 and 10. The house was perfect! We spent our evenings unwinding by the fireplace and mornings reading in bed before heading out to explore the area.
The beds are great and beding is wonderfully warm and comfortable. Zarela lives in a house on the property and was helpful with our needs. She is even willing to prepare home cooked meals for a very reasonable price. It was wonderful to come home to dinner prepared after spending the day hiking.
Cathy connected us to Isais who is a local guide. Again for a reasonable price he was willing to take us throughout the area and really help us absorb the culture. He was a wonderful guide and translator. He is also just a really great person that we enjoyed getting to know.
Cathy was wonderfully responsive and helpful whenever we needed something. I would highly recommend this gem!

Great Private Getaway
Publié le 3 mai 2016 sur HomeAwayGreat property nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Great location offering privacy and not far from local shopping etc. Conveniently located close to main city to catch train to Machu Picchu. House Keeper was great, she made a few meals for my family and I, and they were great. Overall, my family and I LOVED the house. I would highly recommend a stay at this lovely property. We had a guide that was recommended by the owner of the property. Isaas was a great resource for information on the area. He was well versed in the various customs and knew the hot spots to take us. His laid back attitude was great, giving us time to see the sights, but also to shop and enjoy some of the great food the area had to offer. He made the experience memorable and I will never forget it.
