If you want to stay in the heart of the Elqui Valley and be nearly as remote as one can be while still having incredible WiFi - this is the spot! We spent one night here but should have booked more. The only tricky piece about this spot is getting here off the main road. While it isn’t a far distance you really should have 4WD. The road is tight and severe switchbacks. You also need to bring in food with you especially if you don’t have a car. Each unit is exquisitely designed to allow you to cook dinners indoors or out with a regular sized fridge and freezer to boot. To say this place is magical might be a vast understatement. We spent the late afternoon hiking up to the scenic lookout (although each unit has its own incredible views and privacy for late nights in the hot tub). We spent the next 2 hours by the pool which given how hot it is actually had cool water for swimming and lovely shaded lounge chairs. We brought in drinks and a pizza with us for our evening and it was perfect. We turned off all the lights and just sat outside watching the moon rise over the mountains as the sunset. After we spent hours soaking in the hotel tub watching more stars appear in the sky. Just magical! The interior is well appointed too with great bedding, linens, towels and vegan shower products that smelled and felt like luxury after having traveled for so long. For breakfast the following morning, we were brought a delicious selection of fresh fruit, granola, yogurt, croissants, cheese and more! Each unit it also outfitted with a tea pot, tea, a moka coffee maker and ground coffee! If we ever have the chance to come back to the Elqui Valley we will 1000% book this spot again! Also - be sure when in the area to book the 3 hours tour and wine tasting at vinedos de alcohauz! The guide essentially gave us the entire history of the area from different stops along the tour that changes in elevation 5 times! The vineyard is magnificent.

We loved our stay here and wish it could have been longer than 2 nights. Location is on lake with about a 15 minute drive to down town. Several restaurants are nearby with one a two minute walk. Absolutely beautiful views of the lake whether from the guest room, breakfast area or outdoor sitting area. Rooms are very tastefully done and we enjoyed the owners artwork throughout the property. Breakfasts were great and hosts were very helpful. We will be back.

The host, Paula!! She was top notch - so helpful, knowledgeable, kind & took time to help us with our trip planning despite being very busy! The ambiance was lovely!

Great views, interior is exceptionally well designed. Carlos’s, our host, was extremely helpful. Breakfast was delicious and rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. Highly recommend and would stay again, a highlight of our trip.

So clean, very nice interior and bathroom. Super tasty breakfast and wonderful staff.

The staff was incredibly responsive and helpful, adjusting to our early morning schedule for breakfast and regularly checking that all was going well for us.

The hotel was beautiful and well-maintained, offering a stunning view of the sea. We particularly enjoyed the top-floor terrace with our welcome drink. The location was convenient, and the secure parking nearby, though at an extra cost, was a big bonus, given the difficulties finding safe parking in town. The staff were friendly and helpful, with special commendation to Ettien, who efficiently help us with a billing problem. Excellent service!

The place is a dream. Quiet and beautiful. The views to the lake, the food, the care into the details, the spectacular wooden architecture. There are a lot of daily excursions to make and the staff is very helpful. I would do it again!

The location is spectacular. Ocean view, private, quiet. Lots of nature. Comfortable clean, modern accommodations. Incredible meals cooked with local ingredients. English speaking hosts that are so welcoming. They organized boat and hiking tours and a massage for us. The whole experience was amazing. Highly recommend.

Solar Madariaga is a peaceful oasis. The grounds were beautifully up kept and the pool was a wonderful. The hotel had the most comfortable bed out of our entire trip in South America. The hotel restaurant was one of the best in town!

Breakfast was great! They gave us a few option including fresh eggs every morning.
