Cinq etoiles! Cinco estrellas! Five stars! I do not know what to call this place because it is not like any hotel and it's not like a cabin either. It is more like staying in some type of Fantasyland. There is SO MUCH attention to detail. It's like living in an Atlantis-like mini village hidden in a botanical garden with kittens, chickens, and two free-roaming alpacas! There's so much to see! I'm 55 years old and honestly, this place made me feel like a kid again. There's even live plants growing inside the shower stalls!! Central heating AND wood-burning fireplaces!! This place is by far the most unique, friendly and fun "place" I have ever stayed in. Gracias Martin!.. Por haber realizado tan bella obra de arte con su talento de escultura.
Wow this place was as incredible as it looks! We had the treehouse room and it was just beautiful, the views of the lake from our balcony were stunning and the room itself was excellent with every detail considered - comfy bed, stylish bedside tables with charging sockets and bedside lights, great shower! Although there is no breakfast provided, the room had a very well equipped kitchen area and kettle so we could make ourselves breakfast and eat enjoying the view! The hotel grounds are also lovely with lots of flowers. Thank you for making our stay in copacabana so special! Also, the Italian restaurant just outside the lower exit from the hotel grounds was a great option for an evening meal!
In every way, this is one of the most amazing hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was absolutely stunning - spacious, oriented towards the gorgeous views of Lake Titicaca, and designed both practically and artfully. The beds were also extremely comfortable! The owner, Martin, has gone above and beyond by thinking of everything that guests could possibly want or need: a common area with a shower and cooking facilities to enjoy even after check out, unlimited tea, coffee and firewood, radiators to keep you warm and a private outdoor area for every room. We were even able to use oxygen for free to assist with our altitude sickness. It was a huge bonus that the restaurant/cafe next door serves the best food and drinks we had during our time in Bolivia so we didn’t even have to walk back into town for anything during our stay. We couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough, it’s a must visit!
A must stay place in Copacabana. The owner Martin and the entire team were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. Our room was spacious with a well equipped kitchen. We had amazing views of the lake and a wood burning stove at night to keep us warm. 100% reccomend as one of our best stays in South America Top tip: book the hot tub at sunset
