Easily the most comfortable hotel in the region, this slick boutique offering on a former slave plantation is the best-preserved historic hotel on the Peruvian coast, although the neocolonial atmosphere may not appeal to all travelers. The grounds are expansive with small gardens, luxurious hammocks, antiques and a luscious pool.
While the backside bungalows offer all the modern conveniences including air-conditioning, a stay in the historic wing is where it's at. During the week prices are lower.
