“Hidden Gem in Ollantaytambo!”

The beautiful house offers a large common room with comfortable sofas and a wonderful view of the large garden and surrounding mountains. The stylishly furnished room (free upgrade) was very spacious and had a large bathroom and a comfortable sofa. I slept very well in the large bed. The host prepared a very rich and fresh breakfast tailored to individual preferences. The host was also helpful in organising activities in the area and gave some tips. Casafranca was by far the best accommodation of my entire trip through Peru. Highly recommended.

“Tranquil location close to Ollantaytambo”

The location, and property itself are stunning. The views from the large windows are to the mountains and the interior is finished to a modern and very high standard. Very tranquil all in all. Although the property is located out of town, Vanesa was happy to give us a lift when required. Breakfast was to an excellent standard providing a selection of good food which set us up for the day.

“Wonderful place for the Sacred Valley”

The setting of the house, set in the Sacred Valley surrounded by mountains is superb. The room we had was huge, with massive windows giving us the view of the mountains opposite...quite superb. We chose to stay here for our first 5 nights in Peru, to acclimatise to the altitude (Ollantaytambo is quite a bit lower than Cusco for instance) and to get into the swing of things in a quieter environment. Also, of course there is the direct train to Macchu Piccu from here! Vanessa was a wonderful host and she provided us not only with a beautiful breakfast each day, she was kind enough to transport us to and from the town which was a real bonus. If it wasn't for her doing this then it could have been a bit of a pain getting in and out of town. We loved the whole area, the village is probably the nicest we saw in our 4 week stay in Peru and there was lots for us to see and do. This is a beautiful place to stay in the Sacred Valley!

“Extraordinary stay with views”

Clean, modern, calm and simply beautiful - this all mixed with huge hospitality from the host, who can help with every thing, from buying tickets to sites, to getting you into the city center or train to Machu Picchu. Oh, I forgot to mention delicious breakfast!

“Superb!”

Casafranca is a place in the middle of nowhere, at least for us, surrounded by huge mountains and corn fields. Very quiet place especially at night. It is quite new, and it is located almost 2km away from Ollantaytambo square. Good thing our host Vanessa was too kind to drive us back and fort Casafranca, but you can easily ask a tuktuk driver to drive you back to the house for 5 soles. She even took us to the minivan when we were leaving the place. She helped us as well to make the most of our stay in Ollantaytambo by providing taxi and ideas where to go. With her by your side, you can never go wrong with the price. The place was clean and well maintained by Vanessa. Everyday she will clean it. Our room was quite big, very spacious. We got the whole place on ourselves for one whole week! The breakfast was superb--fresh juices, jams, cheese, fresh fruits, and fresh mais bread!! Vanessa even accommodated our request for cooking the mais blanco that we bought from the mercado. She even let us wash our clothes in her home, which was super nice of her. We even met her sweet son and her good friend who brought us to the nearby ruins near the city square. All in all it was a great stay with a great and friendly host. :)

“Great stay at Casafranca :)”

I spent 5 days in Casafranca. This place is something special. The rooms are large and nicely furnished, everything is spotlessly clean. Breakfast was the best I had on my whole trip to Peru, including homemade jam and granola. Vanessa is an excellent host. She helps in all matters. Her recommendations (restaurants and other) had been excellent. It is not a problem that Casafranca is not in the centre. Vanessa makes sure that you can get to the centre at any time. She took me to the first train to Aquas Calientes at 4.30 in the morning. I would stay at Casafranca again at any time!

“Vanesa was a credit to our stay.”

beautiful property, well maintained. Vanesa was the perfect hostess who couldn’t do more for us. Amazing breakfast - homemade jams, granola etc, huge bed and very big clean room.

tastefully decorated excellent gourmet meals, both breakfast and dinner (at an extra price) spacious and modern

“exceptional place & owners”

the place is new, modern, comfortable, spotless clean, with a very nice personality, a great garden and wonderful views. and above all the owners are one of a kind: you feel like you are a guest, not a client. they are always there when you need them and yet they are never there when you feel like staying alone. wonderful and admirable people. please, try the food. The dinner was the best we had in Peru.

Very stylish and comfortable house with amazing views into the landscape! The host, Vanesa, is very helpful and kind and made our family trip very much enjoyable! She had great recommendations for restaurants and day trips. It was always clean and is most likely one of the nicest stays in the region. Fully recommendable!
