Peru: Cozy lodging, tranquil gardens
“IN the heart of the Sacred Valley, a 1 1/2 -hour train ride to Macchu Picchu, is this lovely lodging. It consists of six individual, fully equipped, two-storied Andean-style houses surrounded by tranquil gardens.
We loved our stay there; it’s our favorite place in Peru. Service is wonderful: They’ll even start a fire in your fireplace.
The owner arranged for a chef to come cook and teach Andean cooking at a guest’s house.
It’s also family and pet friendly.”
Doubles from $80.
