The San Agustín is the quintessential two-in-one lodging. On the main road is a modern hacienda-style hotel with gleaming rooms, modern services, and all the comforts you could desire. Just up the hill is the converted Recoleta, a 16th-century Franciscan monastery with a cavernous dining room; guest rooms with hardwood floors, white walls, and Cusqueña paintings; and a bell tower with great views of the valley. There are fewer services at the monastery, though most guests -- the Recoleta has a devoted artistic, New Age clientele -- don't mind. All have access to the facilities down the hill.
