amazing, authentic, inviting place

Fantastic place. Felt like visiting family or good friends. Only 6 rooms, so the atmosphere is nice and calm. We loved the little Cerro Castillo town. It is so simple, interesting and unique (sheep walking in the streets, friendly dogs, nice local people). The feeling was like being in the move :) The property owners very nice and warm people. I would recommend the diner (~20 USD/EUR - 20000 chilean pessos). Tasty soup, second dish to choose from beef, chicken, salmon from local waters (the owner catches fish himself) and a side dish to choose fromfrench fries, mixed salat and etc. There is always hot and cold drinking water, if you want to make your own tea or coffee. Also we used a laundry service. We had to leave early in the morning, so the hosts made a nice breakfast box with sandwiches, bananas, yogurt, juices. It is comfortable that it is possible to pay by bank card, because we came only for 2 days from Argentina for Torres del Paine and had no local money When you see, that there is nothing around in such a unique place, you understand, how much you get: soft bed, hot shower, hot food, smiles. What else would you need? 😀

It was a perfect taste of Estancia life. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming in the most genuine of ways and the scenery around is truly beautiful. We were able to watch Estancia life as the workers were training horses, herding sheep etc. They offer the excursions to watch sheep shearing/herding and do horseback riding. We did sheep shearing which was really quite incredible to see how it’s done and also how the dogs work with the sheep. The property is quite rustic in a charming way and there is no WiFi which might be tough for some but we loved. The location was the main thing as we were only 45mins from the park and able to get to the Mirador Base Las Torres trek trailhead amongst the first of visitors and beat the rush. Spanish is the main language spoken with no English. Not a problem for us as my wife speaks Spanish but some others at the venue struggled with that.
