    For enquiries and bookings

    If you do not speak Spanish, I would appreciate if you could make any enquiries or bookings by e-mail, as it is hard for me to communicate in another language on the phone, many thanks.

    By the way, this reminds me that if you are looking forward to improving your Spanish, you have chosen the right place, as Silvia really enjoy having a chat (in Spanish).

    You are welcome to send us an e-mail in either, English or Spanish

    Providencia and its groovy shoops, cafés, bars and avenues

    Municipality of Providencia
    Providencia is one of the trendiest municipalities in Santiago. A good mixture of commercial and cultural activities are characteristic to this area. Providencia has the most beautiful commercial avenues, little boulevards, many art galleries and an exciting cafe society. We would recommend to anyone staying in Santiago to visit Providencia Municipal Offices and the Art Gallery next to it. Providencia, as most municipalities in Santiago, offers plenty of free cultural activities and events. Providencia displays a fine and sophisticated urban and architectural heritage, from colonial, to classic and modern styles.
