Hostal El Patio
Flowering gardens, trilling exotic birds, purling fountains: this converted quinta on a quiet Miraflores side street oozes charm from every terra-cotta tile of its Andalusian architecture. A series of shaded terraces allows guests to relax after a day of sightseeing, while the common areas beguile with their displays of Peruvian knick-knacks. The hotel has no restaurant, pool, or spa, but for those who prize aesthetics and location, this is one of the pleasantest lodgings in Lima.
