Greeted by the owner and her friendly and positve attitude was my first indication that this would be a very positve stay. The Bed and Breakfast is located not to far from the central business area, about a 15 minute walk, and about a 25 minute walk to the seaside and port area. My accommodation was in a very small...

Two things stand out in this B&B - really good decor of the common area, dining room and of the large family room downstairs; the other being exceptionally friendly and helpful owner. It is not in a typical tourist area (ie Cerro Concepcion/ Alegre), but it is only ten minutes to the bus station and same distance to Valparaiso metro... More

Breakfast was lovely (fresh tasty fruits, bread, cheese, coffee, etc). Located... More

Uve even made us feel extra welcome (as it was... More

In addition, they are always keen to assist you with tips about places to visit... More

We arrived by cruise ship on a Sunday. We were slightly worried about how to find out way to the location but the "Official Taxi¨" person at the port shepherded us to a taxi, who charged $20 US to go to Garivalpo. All we did was show the driver the map of the B&B and we were home free. We... More
