Sacred Valley Private Villas - Aracari's Review   Walking into the villa, I was greeted by two things simultaneously - the beautiful bright colours of the eclectic but tasteful Andean decór, and the inviting smell of my dinner simmering away from the kitchen, under the watchful eye of Berta the cook. Private Condominium Nestled in a private gated group of condominiums, set in lush tropical gardens, are seven beautiful and inviting Sacred Valley private villas, one of which is available for Aracari guests. With lovely configuration and character and style, it offers a high level of service, perfect for a relaxing and homely stay in the Sacred Valley. Located on the edge of the town of Urubamba, the location is perfect for exploring the highlights of the Sacred Valley and catching the train to Machu Picchu from nearby Ollantaytambo. The Sacred Valley as the ideal place to start your exploration of the area – its lower altitude means you can comfortably acclimatise before exploring Cusco which has a higher elevation. Entering the villa feels like walking into a cosy and inviting Peruvian country home. It is tastefully decorated with an eclectic mix of Andean art, handicrafts and collectables including traditional hats from nearby communities, ornate ceramics and beautiful colourful tapestries. Everywhere you turn there are interesting features to peruse. Read more about
