Overall Ratings & Reviews Appelgren House

The owners were very warm and friendly. They went out of their way to make us welcome. The place has a wonderful, worldly feeling about it.

Safe

We absolutely loved the hospitality and assistance that were provided for our memorable family trip to Patagonia. We particularly appreciated the help securing hiking tours and facilitating our car rental. You went above and beyond expectations and we are very grateful.

Lule and Helio are very sweet hosts. We got here on Christmas Eve and since we were unsure about getting transportation, we arranged to have Helio pick us up from the airport (it was $50 for pickup and the same for drop off to the airport. We asked for this service since it was our first trip to the Patagonia region and we were nervous about transportation access). If you are able to get a taxi it will definitely be much much cheaper (- all our taxi fares in the city were around $5). The views from our room were gorgeous and the room and bathroom were very nice and clean. We are vegetarian, so our breakfast options were a bit limited - bread with cheese and sliced veggies and scrambled eggs, coffee, fruit salad and yogurt (be aware most yogurt in Chile has gelatin - so something I was not aware of). Maricela and Patricia are very sweet . Lule was thoughtful enough to arrange for soymilk for us, which unfortunately curdled. This was something no one could have predicted. They arranged for private trips to Torres del Paine, a standard cruise to Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers and then a private hike with just us. We had a packed lunch from the hotel that included sandwiches, fruit, yogurt and water for the first trip, which was $25 per person, but on the next trip, we bought bread, cheese, cookies, nuts and water all for less than $15 and it was as delicious. In all, pretty hotel & nice hosts. Expensive, probably due to the Christmas season.

A gem! Not in town, but that’s what we wanted. The staff are so accommodating. The decor was sublime and very clean. The owner is a distinguished gentleman. Excellent choice for a discerning traveler.

Like many other properties in this area (Puerto Bories) the access roads are not paved. It’s outside the pickup area for many excursions, so you need to arrange transportation or make it to the location from where your excursion departs. The owners are very helpful and will offer to make all arrangements for you.

The staff at Appelgren went out of the way to make our stay comfortable. They helped us book a car before we arrived. They also made excellent recommendations for restaurants and gave us useful travel tips.

Great accommodations Warm and wonderful hosts We hope to be back soon!!!

A plus, wonderful facility, spotless room, very comfortable, wonderful place, the host and hostess are amazing and go out of their way for anything you need. I highly recommend it.

The owners are incredible hosts and do whatever they can to accommodate the guests. The views from the property are incredible and the breakfasts are very good.

The location is very quiet, being on a country road outside the main town. This can be a bit inconvenient, because you need to take a taxi to go to/from town for dinner, and some taxi drivers are not familiar with the place. However, the buses for the tours we booked were able to pick us up. Also, the owner picked us up at the airport, which was very nice, and they often helped make dinner reservations and call a taxi. The place is very clean, spacious, and relaxing.

An amazing place run by two delightful owners that made our stay all that much better. Luce was so helpful and made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend Appelgren House

Quiet location just outside of Puerto Natales. Great breakfast at your requested time each morning. Helio was the ultimate host, suggesting restaurants and making reservations for our group. We thoroughly enjoyed them all. Fabulous stay!

The hosts are world travelers and their house has art works from around the world. Fascinating.

My stay at Appelgren was nothing but fantastic. The host picked me up from the airport and helped me to book a reservation at a local restaurant at a major holiday. View from the hotel is simply breathtaking. Highly recommended !

Excellent service and attention to detail. Heliodoro made us feel home. He takes the time to get to know his guests and goes out of his way to help them out. His entire staff works to the same high standard. Beautiful property with a great view. Very quiet and relaxing. We didn't want to leave! We will absolutely come back if we are ever back to Puerto Natales. Price is very reasonable when considering the quality of service, room and food.

Applegren is a boutique hotel with beautiful views of the mountains, the ocean, the high prairie. The architecture is modern, novel, and experiential. The host / owner Heliodoro is welcoming and interesting. The breakfast was delicious with eggs and breakfast meat and service was five great. The highlight was the art and design of the space. The taxi ride cost about $7-12 Chilean Pesos depending on how long we made the cab wait. Families were picking wild berries along the dusty road. Quiet, cute place.

We had an amazing stay! From the second we arrived we felt at home and in good hands. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay during Christmas. I can’t say enough. This is probably our most pleasant hotel stay as a family, ever; and I’m not exaggerating.

Una estancia increíble

My girlfriend and I stayed one night at Appelgren House about two weeks ago, and our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! We were planning our trip on the fly, so only booked the stay a couple hours before arriving. Nonetheless, the owner was near the door waiting for us as we pulled in, and was incredibly gracious in welcoming us (even at the late hour). Walking into the house, we were immediately struck by the range of artwork on the walls and in sculptures around the rooms; in discussing with the owner, it turns out these are all pieces he and his wife have collected from their travels around the world...very impressive. After a quick check-in, we were taken up a staircase to our very comfortable and private room. It was late so we didn't stay up too long, but it's worth noting the wifi in the room worked very well (the router is in the room!), and the bed was incredibly comfortable. In the morning we woke up and had a wonderful freshly prepared breakfast at our leisure, before packing up and heading out. The owner stopped by to wish us well in our travel back. I will note is that having a car was helpful to get to Puerto Natales town center (~5 minute drive), but I'm confident we could've easily gotten a taxi even if we couldn't drive. For seeing Torres, it's probably a 45-minute drive to the TdP town, and a bit farther to the park itself, but definitely doable to drive back and forth. We had a wonderful stay, and would highly recommend it to others!
