El Molino Hotel Sacred Valley — Hotel in Ollantaytambo

Waking up each morning to a breathtaking panorama of mountains was nothing short of a dream. The soothing sound of the nearby waterfall and stream made it so easy to relax and sleep deeply every night. The hotel’s remote location added to the sense of peace and tranquility—no noise from cars or crowds, just nature at its finest.|At night, the clear view of the stars was absolutely stunning, and during the day, the gardens around the hotel were lush, green, and full of life. I also loved seeing the beautiful birds that would occasionally fly by—it all added to the charm of the place.|The room itself was gorgeous, with a perfect mix of color, warmth, and comfort. I stayed in a room with a fireplace, which made it feel extra cozy and inviting. Everything was spotless and well-organized, including the bathroom, which had a cohesive and stylish design.|The food was incredible—authentic Peruvian cuisine full of flavor and beautifully presented. My friend and I especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which offered a wonderful variety each morning.|The location is also perfect, just a short ride from the train station with direct access to Machu Picchu. We spent an amazing day there and loved being able to return to such a peaceful and beautiful place afterward.|Overall, this hotel offered an unforgettable experience—stunning scenery, delicious food, and a true sense of comfort and serenity. Highly recommend to anyone...

A short distance up a rough track is a hummingbird paradise. |This beautiful accomodation with it’s artisan charm is home to a staggering number of hummingbirds visiting the amazing array of flowers and numerous feeders. |The heady scent of datura and jasmine fills the air and the birds are active from dawn until dusk, some within touching distance. |There’s also a hide for viewing the the other birds that visit this beautiful garden at close range. |Holmeg is an expert photographer and has arranged everything to maximise the chances of getting stunning photos with uncluttered backgrounds. |He is a great teacher too. I arrived with a long lens and not much knowledge of how to use my equipment.

Birds Hotel Molino is a beautiful lodge, constructed around a small garden with hummingbird feeders that attract beautiful species like Green-and-white Hummingbird, Great Sapphirewing and Sword-billed Hummingbird. It is one of those places where you feel in every corner that it is managed with love and dedication. We used it as base for a birding trip to Ipal Ecolodge, Inkatambo Garden, Tunkiwasi Lodge, Abra Málaga and Ensifera Camp, but it is also an excelent place to just relax and connect with the surrounding nature. It offers big rooms with comfortable beds, verandas with views on the hummingbird garden, a living room with many books about nature and a hide for photographing some common of the more song birds. It is located on a quiet dirt road, so one can also make walks in the surrounding area. The owner is a dedicated man, full of ideas and stories, super friendly and excellent company. He was our guide for the three days we spend between BHM and IPAL Ecolodge. Super...
