This testament to Bauhaus architecture on the road to Villarrica is built into a cliffside above the lake. From its tree-bark lamps to araucaria-clad walls, it instills a sense of location while being wildly and wonderfully out of place.
Its huge slanting windows give unbeatable views of Lago Villarrica from the swanky common areas and all the minimalist rooms offer fireplaces; some have fern- and moss-covered raw rock for the internal walls. The restaurant does international cuisine with a Chilean spark (mains CH$10,000 to CH$17,000), with many ingredients plucked right from the organic vegetable patch, just a drop in the bucket of the property's 12 hectares of gardens.
