Quinta Miraflores

Top choice in Lima

LoginSave

Run by an effervescent Italian, this lovely Mediterranean-style home welcomes visitors to enjoy a real retreat in the heart of busy Miraflores. There are just four elegant rooms, each decked out with fun period pieces and thoughtful touches like thick robes, large desks and a cheat sheet of city tips. Breakfast is served in the garden or in your room.

Though central for shopping and restaurants, it's part of only a few remaining quintas (tranquil neighborhoods built around a cul de sac) in the city.
