El Mirador

Valparaíso


Budget-minded couples and solo travelers enjoy this homey B&B. Though slightly out of the way, the beautifully tended property – a restored house with comfortable doubles, apartments with kitchenettes, accommodating hosts and a spacious terrace – is pretty good value. To get here, from the Museo Marítimo Nacional, walk uphill along Playa Ancha and turn left on Levarte.
