The quiet location, the walled grounds and the building itself are great and yes, it is off the street towards Abancay/Cusco, just outside of "downtown" Nazca), yet it definitely does not live up to the five-star rating that is displayed on the outside. The staff tries to be of help. However, rooms, bathrooms and food are average to below average,... More

This was the best property we stayed at in Peru. The bird watching is fantastic! The grounds are surrounded with adobe fencing and the splendors hidden inside are hidden from view. The hotel is very clean, the amenities are mostly new and modern and well cared for. No TV. The gardens are well maintained and a pleasure. There is a... More

We stayed in this hotel only one night as we were part of a tour with 4 or 5 star hotels. This hotel is a farm and the owner is an Italian family. Location: The hotel is located outside Nazca, about 15 minutes driving in a quite area. The hotel is completed by a big green area where you can... More

We stayed in Cantayo for 2 nights in early May 2010. Let me explain. Cantayo is a beautiful place. The rooms are wonderful. There is no TV, but there is internet, so you don't feel cut off from the world. The gardens are huge with a tropical fruits growing everywhere and cows, horses, ducks, geese, turkeys. And also ostriches and... More

While in Peru recently I was offered the opportunity of spending a weekend away from Lima down south in the Hacienda Cantayo. I’d heard great stories about this enchanting hotel located on the outskirts of Nazca, and so naturally I jumped on the invitation. Owing to the famous and mysterious Geogylphic Lines located on the plains outside the town, Nazca... More

The Hacienda Cantayo is located a couple of miles out of Nasca in a quiet, irrigated valley next to the ‘ancient’ (in fact part-reconstructed) aqueducts that are much-visited on the Nasca package tour circuit. The hotel seemed genuinely luxurious, in stark contrast to the painfully poor, outlying suburb of Nasca that is its immediate neighbour (just the other side of... More

This was a fantastic hotel to stay in - I was just sad that I was only staying overnight. The rooms were light and airy. The setting was fabulous. The food was good. The staff were helpful. The hotel foyer was like an art gallery. If going to Nazca, I would stay at this hotel - I was picked up... More

Whithout a doubt this is the best hotel in all Nasca. (and maybe one of the best of Peru) Ask anybody in the town and they will tell you. It have a lot of exotics animals FREE outside of the mansion. You can get there by bus, taxi or HELICOPTER (it have parking for helicopters). Maybe you can relax at... More

If you are going to Nazca and can stay here do give it a try. The pool and grounds are wonderful. Rooms are large and airy. Owned by an italian that has a passion for animals. The Toucan is VERY friendly. It is outside the town but the town is not much to write home about. When we were flying... More
