Villa Barranco, Lima
Expert reviews
“The kind of effortlessly beautiful but comfortable old house that instantly feels like home. This Barranco boutique hotel is brimming with style, from the clever decor to the garden with hummingbirds dive-bombing the honeysuckle.”
“Set in a two-level 1920s mansion on Barranco’s leafy side streets, a short walk from the best galleries and restaurants, Villa Barranco is among a new crop of elegant boutique hotels that is helping change Lima’s hotel scene.”
“Staying in this meticulously restored 1920s mansion on a quiet street near Barranco’s malecón is a bit like staying with friends, thanks to the laid-back atmosphere and helpful staff. The stately, two-story house is hemmed by gardens, with terraces, decks, and a tower from which to admire the surroundings.”

All you need to know
Villa Barranco is a charming boutique hotel housed in a carefully restored 1920s republican residence.
Local craftsmen were hired to revive the mosaic frieze, stucco work, graceful balconies, and French clay roof tiles. Inside, the designers thoughtfully balanced preserving the villa’s historic appeal with adding modern flair.
It took 18 months to thoughtfully select sleek contemporary furnishings, local Lima crafts, and just the right mix of eye-catching antiques and artwork.
Each room features a closet, en-suite bathroom, free toiletries, air conditioning, and a work desk. Some rooms offer views of the city.

A sweet-sour experience
The villa is located in an excellent location walkable to many fantastic restaurants. The room was nicely furnished. The balcony overlooking the quiet street good. The staff was very hospitable and tried their best to answer our queries and sort out our complaint.
We requested early check in and the stand alone bath in our suite when booking, but never heard a response. On arrival, the early check in was not available - that was understandable and we accepted that, heading off to an excellent breakfast place recommended by the receptionist. When we were shown our room, the bathroom requested was not available but in its stead it was small and had only a shower unit. The staff did offer us another suite with a bath (not the one requested) but that room was not yet ready, so we stayed put. By chance, we discovered the picture of our suite being of a lower, cheaper category on the bookings.com website! When shown to the hotel, they insisted it was a junior suite rather than a junior room (and the picture has still not been changed on the website). A couple of drinks were offered as compensation, which feels grossly inadequate….

A truly outstanding accomodation in Lima
The very tasteful restoration of a beautiful 1940s house, the great location in an artsy neighbourhood close to the sea, full of art galleries, trendy bars and cafes and great gastronomic scene. The staff was very friendly and professional and the rooms, large, bright, and comfortable

Relatively price, but worth it
Large comfortable room and bathroom. Good breakfast, very helpful and responsive staff. Lovely location
It was considerably more expensive than the property we were originally going to book. Wish the bathroom had a tub.

Fabulous property
Fabulous property, accommodating staff, clean, wonderful. In a slightly quieter part of Barranco, an easy walk to the street art and great restaurants. Bathrobes and private terrace were a nice touch. The morning I flew out I left at 4am, the hotel organized the taxi and packed me a breakfast to-go including a coffee. I stayed on one night and ordered food to be delivered to the hotel, and when I stepped out in my bathrobe to meet the delivery guy, the man at the front desk jumped up to retrieve my items for me. Great attention to detail all around.
Everything was great

Highly recommend to stay in Barranco (vs. Miraflores) and this hotel if you're visiting Lima as the neighborhood is so lively and beautiful. The hotel is built in a colonial style house and only has 9 rooms (if i recall correctly). The concierge is there 24/7 and all the staff members were really attentive during my stay. The breakfast is set up in the beautiful living room and makes the experience extra special.

Villa Barranco was the most unique experience we had during our travels.
We visited Lima for five days toward the end of our South America trip. While we enjoyed Lima and what it had to offer, we particularly loved where we stayed. Villa Barranco was the most unique experience we had during our travels. It felt like home; the staff was lovely and accommodating, the room and the building were unique, and the breakfast was delicious. Sometimes we just wanted to hang out in our room with a great view rather than explore the city! The ocean view was just a minute's walk from the hotel; we enjoyed the beautiful sunset couple of evenings. The location is near restaurants, the beach is easily accessible, and we felt safe. We highly recommend it to anyone who is planning to visit Lima.
There was nothing that I can think of.

Lovely hotel, really tasty breakfast and a charming outdoor garden. The neighborhood is nice-- feels a bit bohemian and colonial at the same time (Cartagena meets Brooklyn) and the room I had came with a private terrace where I had coffee.

The best night of our 15 days trip! We felt home there!
It's a beautiful place, perfectly decorated to reflect the old mansion it is. Cozy and warm, just like the whole staff!

Romantic night in Barranco
A splendid typical Villa in the heart of Barranco. The place has been fully restored 5 years ago and offers wonderful rooms up to 60 square meters with private garden. Breakfast was great with excellent eggs, waffles made with Peruvian ingredients. Ideal for a romantic escape !
