A friendly Canadian-Brazilian couple run this show, situated close to Ensenada but down an isolated residential street that feels a world away. Tastefully decorated rooms have excellent beds (private bathrooms feature the rarely seen bathtub species!), give off a woodsy feel and boast premium Osorno and Calbuco views. A new 3rd-floor dormitory was installed in 2017.

Eloa, a Brazilian chef, makes fantastic homemade bread for her elaborate breakfast and more substantial meals for guests, including Brazilian specialties like feijoada (black-bean-and-pork stew) and moqueca (seafood stew) on occasion.
