Second Home Peru, Lima

We felt very taken care of. We loved our room overlooking the sea. The breakfasts were delicious and they made sure we were fed on the very early morning of our departure. There was beautiful art all over the property😊

Sitting above the Barranco cliffs in Lima, a small colonial building, reasonably well equipped rooms, some with brilliant view, good breakfast, great staff, e.g. Luis, the helpful and super friendly guy who seems running the hotel's daily business. OUTSTANDING however is the atmosphere created by the works of the artist Victor Delfin who lives and works in the structures on the cliffs right below the core hotel building. All common areas including lobby and pool as well as the guest rooms are decorated with Delfin's paintings and sculptures. Luis can arrange a tour of the workshop and adjacent rooms of the artist -> by all means: do not miss it! PS: Victor Delfin is the creator of "El Beso", the sculpture in the Love Park above the Miraflores cliffs. PPS: I stayed 2 nights.

Art work inside and around hotel created excellent ambiance and decor. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location excellent.

Breakfast good but not varied over multiple day stay. No purified water in rooms.

One of the most charming places we've ever stayed! The neighborhood is fantastic, and Second Home is such a unique space. We loved being surrounded by all the artwork. Great rooms, nice breakfast, kind staff who arranged taxi rides and let us store our bags for a post-midnight flight.

Nothing.

The location was superb. We were within easy walking distance of restaurants and parks and the views were unmatched. The property is unique, filled with art at every turn.

This is THE PLACE to stay in Lima. I struggled whether to stay in Miraflores or Barranco and SO HAPPY I chose Barranco. It is so much more charming and historical. And, this is THE PLACE to choose in Barranco! Such a beautiful old guest house that oozes charm and ambience with great nooks everywhere for enjoying a pisco sour, a book or just gazing at the beautiful Pacific! The views are spectacular, the service is first class and the rooms very large and comfortable!!! Great breakfast every morning to start your day. Ubers are everywhere to take you where you want to go if you want to visit old town Lima and miraflores is walkable or a short ride away! Barranco is a super safe neighborhood! I love old historic properties so much better than new sterile hotels and this one was probably our favorite of any where in the world and we travel ALOT! Just book it!

I loved it all!

The house and art work were amazing. Location perfect. Views from the house were beautiful.

Breakfast and service excellent, but we’d suggest some variety besides eggs and bacon.

Gorgeous property with great view. Delicious warm fresh bread for breakfast. Close to everything in Barranco. Recommended

Welcoming, comfortable, safe, and beautiful environment with incredible ocean views, sunsets, and inviting outdoor spaces. Breakfast that consisted of eggs, bacon, fresh bread, fruit, and coffee was served daily on the outdoor ocean view patio. It truly felt like a second home. Property is walking distance to coffee shops, shopping, and parks. Several fantastic restaurants are within one to two blocks of the property. The staff was very friendly. If you have the opportunity, sign up for the private art tour and collection of Victor Delfin, the famous Peruvian artist whose works are celebrated throughout the city and property. Management arranged for transportation from the airport and to our secondary location where we met our tour group.

Luis was an excellent host and we loved the location. We would love to stay there again for our next visit.

Great location. Good breakfast and coffee is ready early. Nice room with a side patio.

The highlight of our trip staying here watching the sunset each evening

A beautiful property with a great location, and very nice amenities.

View

The art tour

Beautiful view. Beautiful old home with fabulous artwork and history

Not a dislike - but very far from the airport. Plan on a good hour drive in rush hour. But worth the visit

Stunning view

Everything good

Friendly staff and gorgeous property.

The combination of artistic and unique style with gentle luxury. The setting is beautiful. And I could enjoy breakfast looking out on where I used to live

Nothing at all. It was perfect

Fantastic location and property. Breakfast was in the back courtyard with the view to the sea and was simple and nice

Better maintenance in the area outside the rooms and some more fresh fruit, fresh juice and preserves.

Beautiful property. Amazing staff. All around a fantastic experience.

Outstanding place, beautiful house and location is incredible.

The view at breakfast.

Romantic gorgeous amazing. Magical

Anything

This little boutique hotel is a very special find. Gorgeous art everywhere, on the cliffside overlooking the ocean. If you are down at the seaside looking up, this stands out as the most lovely place of all of the cliffside hotels and Airbnbs. Truly unique!

Because this is a historic building, there is little to no sound insulation. It is at the dead end of a quiet street however, so it is no problem.

View of the sea were spectacular.

They could offer a better breakfast.

The beautiful view from the balcony. The cleanliness of everything.

Phone didn’t work to call for some room service. Had to go all the way to the lobby for assistance.

The staff were great! Shout out to Olga, Luis, and Carlos (my driver to and from the airport)!! The view from my room was incredible for the value!!! I accidentally left my jacket behind and was able to return to pick it up with ease

The sink and bathtub were covered in dust/dirt upon my arrival

Loved the view over the ocean, spaciousness. quaint property, nice location. Better than sterile hotel, felt very local.

Breakfast for two mornings was the same, no variation.

The breakfast was really nice - coffee is available early and self-serve, breakfast consists of amazing crusty bread, eggs and thick bacon.

No complaints

A beautiful house where you are surrounded by the incredible work of Victor Delphin. Nice breakfast and drinks from the bar.

Superb attention to detail by staff from check in to check out. View was amazing oceanfront

Bed was too hard

Beautiful location,, the art around, sleeping to sounds of the waves

When we checked in, the staff was a bit rather distant. Too late check-in 1500 and too early check out 10. There is no time to enjoy the pool, which is only open from 10 till 18... unless you book for a few days.

Beautiful art, great location, staff was excellent.

Location, safety, being able to walk the grounds and tour the artwork of the famous artist.

Did not include water with room. Could not drink water from tap so had to pay for water.

location, staff (luis), breakfast and funky furniture and art

View amazing Art Garden

The location above the sea, quiet and very private. The home itself was stunning. Each time I entered a room I noticed another artistic detail. The wood of the construction and furnishings was lovely. Many private places to sit, read, or sun. Pool area was unique and again very private. Rooms were quiet with warm breezes and tastefully appointed. Very comfortable beds. Lots of outlets. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Staff available and professional with helpful suggestions. Bar had a good selection.

Cannot think of anything I did not like.

A beautiful house with an amazing view. Our room had a stunnig view to the beach. Room was super clean, nicely decorated. Bunch of great art everywhere around you makes it super special!

Breakfast only offered eggs - scrambbled or fried.

To be in this home/museum is a real treat. Everywhere one looked there was art. The grounds and public spaces oozed art. What an extraordinary opportunity to be surrounded by art and the ever present soaring vultures. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Great breakfast service, great bread, great eggs and bacon. Rooms were appropriately furnished and with lovely amenities. Super comfortable beds. Adequate outlets and individual bedside lights for reading. Multiple spaces throughout the property to relax and enjoy the beautiful location. The pool was super clean and absolutely lovely with fluffy towels to sunbathe. Staff could not be more friendly or accommodating. Excellent location to explore Barranco or relax and reset.

I cannot think of a thing.

From the moment you enter you encounter a sense of calm, beauty, and creativity. You can listen to the ocean and the views were spectacular. Staff was attentive.

Best bnb I’ve ever stayed in. So beautiful. Clearly (and literally) the work of an artist. Victor Delfin’s work touches every inch of this property and it’s stunning. The views of the coast are breathtaking.

Beautiful grounds, beautiful view, friendly and helpful staff. A little slice of tranquility in the city.

Honestly, nothing

Great views from this spectacular property. The whole place was mesmerizing. The building is huge with windows to match. Between the building, the grounds and the art it felt like a grand museum tribute to an artist of national treasure status. Breakfast was wonderful. Employed staff were delightful. The owner helped us switch rooms immediately and with good hosting understanding and cheer when we had concerns about a few things in the small room. We were very grateful for that. What a charming area of Lima which has a plethora of good eateries and stunning walks. The property is stunning, and we feel lucky to have been able to have the opportunity to experience a historical landmark. What a grand palatial experience! Thank you!

I like surface space in my room and there was none in the regular rooms and very limited even in the larger room. No hooks to hang things other than a closet with high up heavy hangers of which were awkward and inconvenient to deal with luggage and clothing. Earplugs. There were not enough hours of peaceful sleep for me, either, as the building being like a museum, or a very thin-walled hotel. People walking with shoes upstairs, downstairs kitchen and any reception activity, so I pretended it was a night a museum adventure and it was fine for two nights. A sparse fashion statement perhaps? The house itself is so grand that the juxtaposition made for a feeling that the personal space for customers was... Lastly, old fashion (but new) bouncy mattresses. Being used to 15 years of firm or memory foam beds myself I didn't have a relaxing restful sleep with my partner. If you feel the same way when sleeping with someone, the room with two beds has an extra area living area and a small table to add for comfort and convenience and is much more elegant than the cramped single-bed regular room, from my experience. It will be a more memorable stay to boot.

Loved this place so much! The incredible artworks and history were a real treat to discover and stay amongst. The view from the cliff tops over the South Pacific Ocean and Lima coastline was unreal. Barranco suburb is also so lovely with its many quaint restaurants and cafes and friendly people.

Spectacular position, spectacular art collection

They helped me arrange transportation. The facilities were beautiful and unique. I loved my balcony where paragliders would pass over me in the afternoon. The room had a fun hammock in it. I also loved the area of Barranco and am soooo glad I stayed there.

N/A

The location is excellent as it's near the waterfront with lovely views. It is also close to cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, museums, and the Bridge of Sighs in the Barranco neighborhood. On the property itself, there are various pieces of art and terraces for general enjoyment.

1.There is no supply of bottled water in the room. Upon request, I did receive boiled water for my use. 2. Accessing safe public transit is a bit challenging. I walked, biked or took a taxi to most places.

Beautiful views and artwork. Spacious rooms and attentive staff. Breakfast was delicious.

The property was converted from a house to guesthouse; this was not an issue for us, but others might prefer a more “traditional” hotel footprint.

We absolutely loved staying at Second Home. the view is magnificent; the house is lovely and seeing all the art is just fantastic. Like staying in a wonderful museum. The neighborhood is safe, interesting, and full of good cafes and restaurants. The staff were exceptionally helpful.
