Melissa Wasi

My favorite hotel experience of our entire Peru trip. I highly recommend Melissa Wasi! The locale was amazing. The view of the mountains, the flowers around the hotel, the friendly dogs on premises, everything was magical. I did not want to leave! It was a chilly night when we were there, but firewood was right outside our door and the fire kept us warm and cozy. The owners were amazing people and helped us in any way we asked. We were there the night that Peru played Brazil in the final match of the Copa America, which was a very big deal for the Peruvians. The owners invited us to watch the game with their family and neighbors!! I would highly recommend Melissa Wasi!

I was baffled when I looked at Melissa Wasi's ratings and customer reviews after our stay as they seemed to describe a very different place than we experienced. Our room was shabby (or in PR speak "rustic"), seemingly furnished from thrift shops, lighting was too dim for reading, the only heat was a wood stove (so the room was cold) and the king bed we thought we were getting was a kind of full size saggy stale futon. There was an utter lack of attention by management to even the simplest details or quality control. (And you can't blame an overworked staff as there were only a few guests.) For example, we learned that the lack of hot water in the shower was the result of staff not turning on the water heater. We had to ask that someone supply matches and wood for the stove. The owner mentioned a heater but never supplied one. The owner was a nice enough chap who mouthed the words "mi casa es su casa" but he seemed to put his interests ahead of ours (examples upon request.) At the slightest pushback he was never apologetic, always defensive. This wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that our room was 95USD per night, outrageous considering we're well travelled and have stayed in much nicer places for less. I would not recommend Melissa Wasi until the owner has learned to become a proper hotelier, pricing reflects the youth hostel-like quality, and someone has edited the online description so that it properly reflects reality.

Warm staff in a lovely albeit secluded area

Nice hotel, beautiful hardens, slightly cold and informal staff when it comes to guest ssrvice

Melissa Wasi was like a little slice of paradise. The couple who created it live in a house surrounded by numerous cottages, all in a Eucalyptus grove within walking distance of downtown Pisac. The owners are very friendly, hospitable, and interesting and the invited me (and any other guests who care to) to join them in their living room in the evening. It was the best place I stayed on my 6 days from Cusco, through the Sacred Valley, to Machu Picchu and back to Cusco. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of staying anywhere in the area around Pisac. My only regrets were that I couldn't stay there longer (just a short trip) and that it's so far from the U.S. where I live.

The owner opens up his own space to his guests. The family cooks and eat breakfast together with us. Very nice breakfast. They are really helpful with our travel arrangements. The resort is also very secluded, really quite, has a very good view of the surrounding mountains.

The property of Melissa Wasi is beautiful and peaceful. The owners, Chito and Joyce were so lovely to get to know. They helped guide me with what to see in the area, arranged taxi service, and even helped me when I had problems with my ATM card at the bank. I was a female solo traveler during this part of my trip and they made me feel comfortable. Coming home to Melisa Wasi each night felt like coming home to family! I will definitely return in the future!

Wonderful setting, ideal for a family of three, the host are warm and sincere, the location setting in beautiful, very quiet and restful.

Melissa Wasi was Devine. Chito, the owner, is the most interesting man in the world.

La atención de primera, cerca al pueblito, desayuno muy bueno

Increible! El lugar esta muy tranquilo, no tan lejos de Pisac. Los dueños, Joyce y Chito, son muy muy muy amables. No me senti en un hotel, pero en la casa de un amigo. La habitacion era muy confortable y tranquila. El desayuno, rico! Ademas, hay un restaurante en la noche. Nestor, el chef, cocina muy bien y los precios son corectos. Me quedé une anoche solamente; proxima vez en Pisac, me voy a quedar una semana, al menos!

Beautiful, simple retreat. Basic breakfast. Owner is helpful. Pricey for Peru, in low season $US 95 per night.

The Inn is a little too far from town to walk, but the owners always arranged transportation and were very helpful with suggestions and reservations.

The owners of Melissa Wasi are very special and made my stay. I can't wait to come back!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Melissa Wasi! Chito and Joyce were such gracious and welcoming hosts! The town of Pisac is charming, with excellent small restaurants and spectacular scenery. The hotel's restaurant is particularly superb. Thank you for such a special stay!

The hosts were very hospitable and interesting and went out of their way to accommodate our wishes and make arrangements for us. The lodge and the grounds were lovely. The food was excellent.

Melissa Wasi is owned by a lovely family who have created a beautiful space for leasure in a magical place. You feel as though you are one of their guests. Joyce and Chito were very helpful in pointing out things to do in the valley and made us feel very welcomed. The grounds are beautifully cared for and the house is tastefully decorated with local art. Melissa Wasi also has a restaurant that served a memorable breakfast and other delicious dishes. We will definitely visit this place again.

Chito and Joyce make you feel like home. Pisac is a magic place and staying at Melissa Wasi makes it even better. This is definitely where u want to stay in Pisac.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely visit at Melissa Wasi. The accommodations were clean and private. Joyce, the host was very kind, warm and accommodating. They have Wifi and a place to eat on site for Breakfast and dinner. The price is high for the area however the garden and landscape provide a retreat like experience that can be very nourishing after a day in town and after long travel. The chocolate Volcano Cake (which the owner makes herself) is amazing and I highly recommend it! The bed was not great and we both woke up with back aches, but we had a King so perhaps the smaller ones are better.

Desde la entrada del Melissa Wasi se siente una paz unica, la atencion super amable, Chito y Joyce son unas personas super atentas y serviciales. No es necesario cenar fuera cuenta con una amplia carta y la comida es deliciosa, asi mismo el hospedaje incluye el desayuno buffet. Las habitaciones son acogedoras. Realmente un lindo lugar donde volver.
