I enjoyed my stay at the Valparaiso Experience immensely. The apartment was stunning, spotless and stylish with the most amazing views of the cityscape (particularly at sunrise and sunset). Marcela and Bart were incredibly helpful and welcoming - nothing was too much trouble and the bottle of welcome wine was a lovely touch. As a female traveling on my own... More

He was always available to help with our travel planning and with any other needs. We always looked forward to his visits! From our home base in Valparaiso, we visited many other parts of Chile including... More

What a fantastic location, walking distance from city centre with fantastic views. The apartments are modern fit out and make the most of the view. Bart and Marcela work hard to personalise the Valpo Experience for you and offer great advice on how to make the most of your trip. More

Ellis. The location of the Valparaiso Experience buildings is on artistic hill Bellavista, right in the middle of "Museo a cielo abierto", now enriched with these additional... More

We stayed here with our 4 children for 3 nights. Bart, the owner, was tremendously friendly and helpful, waiting up until 1am when we arrived in really good humour, and whatever we asked him for (an extra drying rack and a new gas cylinder) he provided. He was great. The appartment was nice and well equipped, but I would say... More

We were fortunate to be able to spend eight days at Valparaiso Experience. We rented a modern and spacious apartment on a hillside overlooking the harbour. The views from our deck were spectacular and our well-equipped apartment allowed us to take advantage of all that the markets nearby had to offer. Our hosts, Bart and Marcela, were most gracious and... More
