Cusco Villas \"Number One in Cusco\"

We want to move in permanently! Gustavo and Sharme were incredible hosts at this amazing home. Gustavo is a very interesting man, with enough amazing stories from his life to fill a book, told with his unique sense of humor and leaving us wanting to hear more, while still giving us plenty of privacy. The property is large and grand, the incredible photos do not do it justice. Sitting and relaxing is invigorating and peaceful - in any of the multitude of spots by the rushing stream, or near the pool and fish pond, or in one of the inviting romantic cubbies tucked in between the rocks and plants. My wife and I couldn't even try out all the sitting spots in the 3 days we were there, but we did enjoy the Roman bath style hot tub every night! The house is adorned with art and handcrafted nuances with every turn, and most of them have amazing stories, too. Each of the 3 different waterfall showers were amazing to behold and experience. We enjoyed a delicious dinner cooked by Sharme one night, and burned through what seemed like a cord of firewood in the beautiful fireplace, once she taught us the tricks to making a "Peruvian fire". We really can't say enough great things about this home, and wish we could stay a whole lot longer. If you are considering a stay in the Sacred Valley, I can't imagine a way anyone could be disappointed in the choice to stay here. It is purely wonderful.

Overall, this was my families favorite place we have stayed and we have traveled a lot. Gustavo and his team were excellent. If I could give 10 stars I would. The property and people are amazing.

Place was better than the photos. Absolutely amazing. The staff took care of us at all times. The preplanning support was next level. I worked with the staff to plan all our excursions in advance and they have a long menu of things to do, including full day trips to Rainbow Mountains and nearby cities and archaeological sites, and horseback riding. The meals they cook for you (scheduled in advance) are outstanding. The breakfast layouts were definitely worth more than the charge. Don't overplan events/excursions if you stay here, we definitely did not spend enough time at the house.

What a gem! Everything you need to unplug from the business

We had an amazing week long stay at Gustavo’s house in Lamay. The house and property are unique and beautiful and located in a stunning valley surrounded by mountains. One of the many mountain rivers that feed the Urubamba runs right through the beautifully designed and maintained grounds. Gustavo’s communication and attention to detail is excellent, he supplied us with fantastic information throughout our trip planning and supported us as flight cancellations altered our plans. He made sure we were comfortable with every aspect of the house and property when we arrived and was always quick to reply whenever I reached out to him.Whatever requests we had throughout the trip were quickly handled by Gustavo, Sharme and Lalo. Sharme’s cooking is fantastic and we enjoyed delicious breakfasts and dinners throughout our stay. Her management of the house and property is equally skillful. Lalo drove us all around the Sacred Valley, taking us to the major sites but also using his extensive knowledge to show us some less well known spots that we never would have seen otherwise. Lalo was a great resource and guide, all of his recommendations were excellent and the whole family enjoyed all of our day trips. The care and attention taken by the team to support and welcome us, coupled with the transcendent beauty of the Sacred Valley made this an unforgettable stay and one that I would strongly recommend to anyone who is headed to the Cusco area.
