It’s a wonderful place to stay if you’re touring the Sacred Valley in the Cusco area, especially for adjusting to the high altitude of Cusco city. The hotel is peaceful, with a garden-like atmosphere that makes it very relaxing. The service is excellent, and the staff are kind, polite, and always ready to help. They can arrange tours and taxi services, which makes exploring the area very convenient. During my stay, they organized a one-day taxi tour for me that covered four to five highlights in the Sacred Valley (excluding Machu Picchu). At the time of my visit, a four-seat taxi cost less than $100 per day. Getting to Machu Picchu is easy as well, since you can take a train directly from Urubamba. Urubamba itself is a small town that serves as a great base for accommodations and nearby tours. The hotel is only about a five-minute walk from the town center, and the fresh mountain air is reminiscent of the Swiss Alps.

When you arrive, it’s a diet road with a locked gate…kind of uncomfortable if you’re unfamiliar with the area. Once inside, it’s a very different story. Quaint, comfortable and well priced. Highly recommend!

Close to center of town yet very quiet. Very pretty grounds, many flowers.

Breakfast!

One of the most beautiful properties we stayed at during our visit to Peru. For the price, which included a very nice breakfast, one of the best values in Peru.

Fantastic! So peaceful and no noise.

Safe, quiet, nice staff, decent value.

Great place to stay while visiting the Urubamba valley. Nice village like accomodations. Great service.

Lovely staff, lovely calm place like a hub away from town. Beautiful gardens to sit in almost Japanese.

Great hotel, fantastic garden within the hotel, you can see the mountains, but I wouldn't say it's "mountain view". It's close to the center but outside of it, last part of the road is gravel and inclined. The room is nice but missing stuff safebox and the bed is small. All the paths in the hotel are stones, it's very hard to move luggage in and no one in the hotel helps. The taxi service from the hotel is cheap so use it!

I had a cancellation for one night so had to find another place with 6 rooms in Urubamba. Amaru Valle popped up and I am so glad it did. It is a beautiful little oasis with everything we needed and wanted. We arrived late and they very graciously opened their kitchen and cooked us some wonderful food for dinner. The grounds are magical with many flowers and beautiful spots to just sit and reflect. Once there, Ana shared all the amazing activities they can arrange if (well, actually when) I return with another small group. I would definitely stay there again. We did not have time to explore the area around the hotel so cannot share my thoughts on restaurants or activities in the area.

Great place to stay very nice people

Nice place to stay for a couple of nights.

The gardens on-site are beautiful to spend time in and the location is great for walking to the center of town for food, coffee, snacks.

I enjoyed this hotel. It wasnt to far from the plaza de armas. But i did like that it felt like you where out of the city. The room was clean and i enjoyed the environment. Staff was friendly. The food at the restaurant was good. Although ordering food was a bit confusing. Because you had to schedule your meal time and let them know in advance what you wanted to eat. I believe they did not have a lot of kitchen staff. For me it was fine because i was tired and didn't want to go out and eat at the end of the day.

A great value, safe and walkable

Easily the most beautiful hotel ive been to. The place was beautiful, food great and service excellent

Very pleasant hotel for a stayover in Urabamba while traveling in the Sacred Valley on the way to/or returning from Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu. Beautiful garden courtyard and nice views. Very helpful staff if you seek assistance in arranging horseback riding and other activities in the area. Easy walk to restaurants.

Extremely friendly staff and free coca tea.

Peaceful environment with excellent service.
