Casa de la Y Bed & Breakfast

Top choice in Paraguay


A tiny homestay with a warm welcome from hostess doña Yolanda and a delicious home-cooked menu of comida típica (local cooking, 25,000G). There are only two rooms: a tasteful, spacious double/triple with gigantic bathroom and a traditionally adorned, expansive family room. The wonderfully floral garden is a cute place to sip tereré in the sunshine. Reservation by email essential.

A kitchen is available for guest use and it's perfect for small groups and families. Same price during Carnaval, but book ahead!
