Don’t miss this perfect accommodation in the heart of the Palafitos!
Pros:

A beautiful. spacious, comfortable room with small kitchenette. Lots of natural light and tremendous views from this this lovingly renovated Palafito home. Bed was super comfy. Ample food provided for breakfast- either ready to eat (fruit, bread, yogurt, meat and cheese) or eggs to cook plus coffee, tea, juice and milk. Host was accommodating. Cecelia was charming and helpful. Great location right next door to a tasty restaurant. Quiet. No street noise.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Palafitos are houses on stilts along the shore that stand over water at high tide and are a main attraction in Castro. A few of these old palafitos that previously mostly housed fishermen have been renovated/rebuilt and transformed into fancy accommodations for visitors. This is one of them. It is beautiful and very stylish. Our unit was very spacious and comfortable with modern amenities. The 180 degree over the bay through huge windows was priceless. Ingredients for a very good breakfast are provided. The kitchen area is adequately equipped to prepare the breakfast and could also be used to prepare other meals.

Cons:

After booking, I had a few questions about the payment process, which the host requested to be processed in CLP through a Chilean website I was not familiar with. During our 3.5 week trip through Chile, this was the only time payments were processed this way. My questions were mostly about VAT, which foreigners do not have to pay for accommodations in Chile. My questions were not answered and responses were short and not to the point. Assuming a language barrier, I asked my wife to communicate in Spanish, but the responses did not improve. On the other hand, the pre-arrival communication was very good and the host even arranged access when we arrived very late due to a several hour flight delay.
