Casasur Charming Hotel, Santiago
More photosCasaSur Charming Hotel is a cozy, family-run guesthouse tucked away in the vibrant Barrio Italia neighbourhood of Santiago. Far from the anonymity of large resorts, this intimate property is designed to feel like a home away from home. With only a handful of rooms, it offers a highly personalized experience where the owners are often on-site, eager to provide local tips, maps, and recommendations to help you navigate the city like a local.
The hotel’s charm lies in its simplicity and relaxed atmosphere. It features bright, airy rooms and a lovely walled patio where guests can enjoy a quiet breakfast or unwind after a day of sightseeing. By intentionally opting out of in-room televisions, the property encourages visitors to disconnect, rest, and engage with the beautiful surroundings of their neighbourhood instead.
Barrio Italia itself is a fantastic location, famous for its historic architecture, antique shops, independent art galleries, and eclectic dining scene. Staying here puts you within walking distance of many unique cafes and furniture workshops, offering a much more authentic slice of daily Chilean life than you might find in the bustling city center.
While the hotel provides a peaceful retreat, you are well-connected to the rest of Santiago. It is just a short walk to the Santa Isabel metro station, which makes reaching iconic landmarks like the Plaza de Armas or the bustling markets of the city centre both quick and easy. It is an ideal base for independent travelers looking for comfort, character, and a genuine connection to the local culture.
Expert reviews
“Barrio Italia’s first boutique hotel is as charming as it purports to be, with a terrace that leads into a lovingly restored 1940s home. There are harlequin tiles on the floors, exposed brickwork and six artfully designed rooms bearing nameplates that welcome each arriving guest.”
“With extremely helpful staff, lavish cooked breakfasts and personalized service right down to the nameplate welcoming you to your light and airy room, CasaSur is just as charming as it claims to be.”
