Perched on the hill Cerro Alegre, Casa Higueras is a 1920s mansion once home to one of Valparaíso’s thriving aristocratic families.
Carefully restored to be a stylish boutique hotel, 20 rooms are dispersed over the property’s labyrinth-like five floors.
What we love about Casa Higueras
- Interiors are crisp, airy & bright
- Featuring dark wood furniture, locally created artwork adorns the walls
- Cosy up in the bay window with a book
- Our favourite rooms have far-reaching views of Valparaíso’s bustling port
- The tiered landscaped garden has an infinity pool
- There is a small spa with a sauna & a hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring
A rambling port city, Valparaíso is spread over 45 hills that line the bay.
Known for its bohemian culture, independent galleries sit on steep winding streets.
Once home to Chile’s noble prize-winning poet, Pablo Neruda, his quirky house, La Sebastiana is open to visitors. Funky bars & seafood restaurants line steep winding streets. Terraces with spectacular vistas of the port are interspersed with vibrant murals designed by local artists.
Casa Higueras is located on top of Cerro Alegre in the colourful coastal town of Valparaiso. The town is 1 hour 30 mins from Santiago by car.
There are direct flights to Santiago from cities across Chile, such as Punta Arenas and Mendoza, as well as from international locations, such as Lima, Buenos Aires, and Bogota.
When to Travel
Valparaiso is a year-round destination. We recommend visiting during summer (between December & April) when the weather is warm & the chance of rainfall is minimal.
