A small boutique hotel in central Puerto Varas, two minutes on foot from Lake Llanquihue, with breakfast included, a garden, a library and a bar.
Casa Kalfu is a small boutique hotel on Tronador street in Puerto Varas, only a couple of minutes on foot from Lake Llanquihue. Its photos show a wooden-detailed interior, a cozy living area with a fireplace and a house-style exterior in dark and blue tones. The setting is central, so restaurants, shops and the lake are all reachable on foot, and guests can pick up a car or taxi for longer outings.
Breakfast is included and served in a dedicated dining room. There is a bar and lounge, a library and a garden, and rooms have safes, sound-insulated walls and flat-screen TVs. Extra beds and infant beds are available, and staff speak Portuguese and Spanish. The hotel offers free pick-up from the train station. Concierge services and tour assistance are available, which is handy for arranging excursions to the volcano and waterfalls nearby.
The setting
The hotel is in the town centre of Puerto Varas, a short walk from the lakeshore, with Osorno volcano visible across the lake on clear days. Visitors use it as a base for the Petrohué Falls, Osorno volcano and trips around Lake Llanquihue. The town is lively in summer and calmer in autumn and winter; weather changes quickly, so bring a rain jacket in any season.
