Pros:

The hotel was charming and so inviting. Andreanne was an exceptional host… she was a source of great information and recommendations. She guided us to excellent restaurants very near to us and arranged for a guided walking tour in Valparaiso also. The setting and the breakfasts were outstanding — It is a real jewel!

Pros:

This place was so cute and perfectly appointed, but most importantly Christian and Audri were the best hosts ever! They helped arrange transportation to wine country, art tours in Valpo, gave us details on how to best visit the sand dunes and made reservations at several amazing restaurants. Breakfast daily, clean, beautiful garden area in a quiet and convenient area - Just blocks from the beach!

Esencia is an absolute gem! An oasis to relax in but walkable to all the amenities of Vina. Adri & Christian are wonderful hosts who made reservations for guides/restaurants to make our whole visit smooth and relaxing!
The property is delightful. We felt like we were staying with friends!

Pros:

O hotel é acolhedor, o casal de anfitriões muito atenciosos e amáveis, Cris e Adri, além de que o local tem várias opções restaurantes, mas não achei a cidade muito bonita e acolhedora. Vale salientar que no quarto não tem frigobar e nem ar-condicionado, e o chuveiro é dentro de uma banheira, o que dificulta um pouco a acessibilidade.

Pros:

An oasis in the city close to everything I wanted to experience. The room was comfortable and quiet with a great shower, breakfast was delicious, and the owners were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They helped me arrange transportation and a winery tour and answered all of my questions about the area. I felt safer and confident traveling by myself and had a magical, relaxing stay. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The owners are very friendly and well-experienced in tourism and B&B management. The location was fantastic - close to the beach and many restaurants in a safe, quiet area. And they even have beautiful garden sitting areas.

Melhor experiência da viagem ao Chile
Pros:

Uma delícia de lugar. Se eu voltasse lá 100 vezes, as 100 escolheria esse lugar. Localização perfeita, próximo do agito das ruas com restaurantes e cafeterias, e na própria rua tem muitas opções de restaurantes e cafés, é perfeito! Pode ir sem medo! O local é incrível, todos os dias tem um café da manhã personalizado, e cada ambiente do hotel é incrível para tirar fotos e recordar. A união de um lugar relaxante e calmo digno de uma pousada de fazenda, com o agito de cidade "grande" localizado em um bairro mais nobre... perfeição resume esse lugar!

Magnifique et confortable
Pros:

Mon séjour a été une belle surprise et très agréable. Andréanne et Christian sont des hôtes remarquables. Ils sont aux petits soins avec leurs clients.

La chambre était super confortable. Pas de balcon mais un accès priviligié à un petit jardin aménagé par eux. Magnifique et décoré avec goût.

La localisation de cet hôtel est parfaite. Proche de plusieurs cafés et restos à distance de marche. Christian a aussi des contacts précieux et il n'hésite pas à recommander des endroits.

Andréanne nous a concocté un delicieux déjeuner le lendemain matin.

Si je retourne dans cette région c'est à cet endroit que je retourne sans aucune hésitation . Vous ne regretterez pas.

We had a wonderful time at Escentia boutique hotel. Andreanne and Christian went above and beyond to make sure we had all that we needed. The breakfast was made to order and they had options for my dietary restrictions. The outside garden is very quiet and relaxing. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!!
