Hacienda Histórica Marchigüe

Middle Chile


This sprawling hotel was originally built in 1736 and used as an administrative building for Jesuits. It's quite remote, but it has all you will need, including a pool, a wine cellar, mountain bikes, horses to rent and plenty of opportunities to explore the 50-hectare fundo (estate).

The historic rooms are massive, though less elegant than we'd like. Ask for a room with a chimney.
