Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Casa Bellavista

This luminous 11-room bed and breakfast in Barrio Bellavista is the perfect place to use as a home base for exploring Bellavista, Lastarria, downtown and Providencia. It is modern and tasteful, with wooden floors throughout, colorful and creative touches, and it is owner-operated, so you're sure to get good service. A variety of rooms serve different traveler needs.

YOU SHOULD KNOW It is important to note that the address of this hotel is 0374, not 374. 0374 is on the Providencia side (further east, or uptown), whereas the address 374 is in Recoleta about 7 blocks further west.
