Overview of this luxury villa in Cusco
Casa Tere offers guests the perfect, cozy base from which to explore the surrounding Sacred Valley and the City of Cusco. Situated at a relatively comfortable altitude of 2,600 m / 8500 ft above sea level, this charming villa is a wonderfully authentic way of experiencing this part of Peru.
Tastefully decorated this private villa in Cusco is filled with authentic Andean textiles and other locally made crafts, including pottery, antiques, and sculptures. In fact, in the kitchen, you’ll find an exquisite mosaic floor, handmade using brightly colored clay tiles.
The exterior is built using ancient techniques in adobe and stone, and inside there are thick wooden beams and eucalyptus trunks to support the ceilings. Casa Tere blends seamlessly into its environment of traditional crops, lemon trees, native herbs and traditional Inca terraces.
After a long day exploring the Sacred Valley and the surrounding archaeological sites, or after cycling, horse riding or canoeing, what better way to recoup than by cozying up in front of a roaring fire or taking in the expansive garden views from the second-floor bedrooms.
