Casa de la Luna — Hotel in Isla del Sol

These beautiful rooms sit just above the church. It took me a slow and steady 25 minutes to climb the 500m stepped pathway from the boat at this altitude of 4,000 metres, with an overnight bag on my front, and my hiking day pack on my back.||The rooms are very large and feel and look brand new. The decor is beautiful, simple and natural. |Exceptionally clean too: Gleaming!||Depending on which room you have, you'll get slightly different views from the large windows.|I had a lovely view of the church and the lake.||The shower room is huge and has an electric shower. Unfortunately I didn't get to try it as the whole island had a power cut following a big storm. (So no WiFi either. If you don't already have one, get yourself a solar powered charger. I use mine in every day life, but it comes in very handy when travelling).||I slept very well, and found the mattress and the pillow very comfortable. The beds are piled high with blankets and a duvet.|With my earplugs in I was not kept awake by the storm that apparently lasted all night.||I was greeted with a handshake by the lady of the house when I arrived, and she showed me to my room. At breakfast the next day, I was served breakfast by a friendly young lady.||However there were no added touches. For example, to get a mug of hot water when I arrived or before I went bed. If I'd had my own flask I think it would've been possible when I arrived (definitely not at 9:15 pm) but I came to the island with only an overnight bag and left my flask in Copacabana.||Outside you can sit and relax on the 2 couches that are made from reeds and are designed in the style of reed boats - I'd love to ship one of those home!||Points where the hosts could improve:||1) Light a fire in the breakfast room - my feet were freezing and I sat in all 3 thermal layers I brought with me plus my jacket to eat breakfast.||2) Offer a drink on arrival - it's a tough walk up the hill at this altitude.||3) Have hot water available to drink at night. It's cold up here!||4) Offer guests a hot water bottle to take to bed. That should help reduce your heating costs.|||And finally...||I STRONGLY recommend you leave your main luggage at your hotel in Copa. La Cupula kept mine for no charge, and said I could use all the facilities when I returned to collect it: the kitchen, gardens, WiFi, the shower. They would even provide a towel...

Casa de la Luna was the highlight of our visit to Isla Del Sol!

After a mess up with a prior booking with another hotel we stumbled across this lovely hotel and met the lovely Lucy! She was very welcoming and understanding of our situation and was able to offer us the most amazing room (probably the best room on the whole island!) last minute.

The double room we had was out of this world, clean, modern and not to mention really comfy! The only downside was the shower pressure and temperature and the poor Wi-Fi connection but we understand this must probably be the case for the whole island.

Lucy and her family were absolutely lovely and provided us with an amazing breakfast really yummy eggs and freshly squeezed orange Juice.

There is also a mini shop attached to the hotel and there you can buy cold beer and snacks and sit out on the terrace and enjoy the views.

Would highly recommend to anyone to stay here as there not much else to do on the island so you might as well treat yourself to a fantastic room...

My girlfriend and I were really excited to stay here but on the boat over from Copacobana we realised we’d had a brainsnap and completely forgot to take out cash. We knew there were no ATMs or EFTPOS facilities on the island so we were stressing at the thought of having to return on the next boat back. However, when we arrived at Casa de la Luna we were able to arrange for Anna, the lovely young lady, who worked there to make the full day round trip to the mainland the next day so we could pay. We were so grateful!||||The room itself was absolutely amazing. The huge windows overlooking Lake Titicaca were truly magical and the bed was super comfy. Anna showed us how everything in the room worked and she was patient with our poor Spanish. Good showers are hard to come by on the Bolivian mainland so we weren’t expecting much but we were blown away.||||The location was good too, very close to the junctions in the paths which can take you to various parts...
