Esencia Hotel Boutique was amazing. From the moment you check in you get greeted with such hospitality, comfortable rooms and delicious cook to order breakfast. Owners and operators Cristian and Adri are such kind people and awesome hosts. Thanks for treating us so well.

We had a wonderful time at Escentia boutique hotel. Andreanne and Christian went above and beyond to make sure we had all that we needed. The breakfast was made to order and they had options for my dietary restrictions. The outside garden is very quiet and relaxing. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!!

The hosts were wonderful. They went way out of their way to make us welcome and to make our Stay enjoyable. However the review deferred maintenance items on the property. Nothing major, but less than perfect.

Andreann and Christian are so lovely The Way Ecencia had lovely rooms and charming little nooks in the gardens The blow dryer in the room was the best hotel dryer I’ve ever had and that’s including the big fancy hotels They took such great care of us with wonderful dinner recommendations and arrangements for transportation The breakfast was delicious and served with individual and personal care for preference and food allergies We felt like we were leaving family when we checked out

Beautiful garden surrounding elegantly restored building gives feeling of welcoming and peaceful life even if just off busy street with lots of restaurants and cafes and services. Staff very kind and accommodating. Breakfast wonderful. Room had large windows looking out onto green treetops with flowers and birds. Bedding warm and mattress comfortable. Bathroom has great shower and fluffy towels. Everyone super nice.

Beautiful place to stay.
What an absolute gem of an hotel. It’s set down a quiet street but very close to nice bars, cafes and restaurants. Hosts are very warm and welcoming. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated. The whole place feels more like a home than an hotel. The little seating areas outside are a delight. We did have a slight issue with a lack of hot water the morning we were leaving. However, we didn’t have time to mention it, so I can’t complain that it wasn’t sorted. On the whole I’d thoroughly recommend staying here. Lovely.

Don't miss out
The hotel is a labor of love, painstakingly crafted from beautiful pieces of wood and art and interesting materials, lovely details everywhere. The owners Adri and Cris are as warm and hospitable as can be. The breakfast is fantastic, the beds are comfy, the location is perfect...definitely and highly recommend!

The hosts make the difference for this small hotel. They’re able to help with recommendations and reservations of all kinds - restaurants, tours. Also valuable safety tips. We drove to Vina and the fact that we were able to park at the hotel was invaluable.

We really enjoyed staying at Escencia hotel. Christian and his wife were so friendly and made us feel very comfortable staying. The room was very clean, new and beautiful. The garden was also the highlight of this hotel. It makes us feel relaxed and calm. Another this is that even though this facility is near the beach, it was unbelievably quiet so we were able to sleep well. Breakfast was also good. We were able to choose what we wanted from the menu. It was served neatly and was delicious. We highly recommend this hotel. We highly recommend this hotel.

This was one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. It is a gem hidden from streets of superb dining and shopping. Everything is extremely clean and top quality including the bed and linens. The owners are delightful. Breakfast is made to order with great variety available. Esencia earns the highest rating possible!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this little piece of heaven in Vina del Mar after an 11 day cruise. The rooms are utterly comfortable and immaculate. The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome and facilitate tours, restaurant ideas, and transportation to the airport flawlessly. Thank you so much Andreanne and Christian. We highly recommend this place .

We had three relaxing wonderful days at Esencia. The garden is an oasis in a busy seaside city, we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the sun. The owners were very helpful with suggestions for tours and great restaurants. When you are in the area make sure to do the Street Art walking tour with Sebastian in Valparaiso. It was definitely a highlight of our stay. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend Esencia to friends and family.

A homey B&B for any kinds of travels
“Home away from home” is a true statement to describe our experience there. Adri and Christian put their hearts and souls into the designs of the lovely B&B leaving no details neglected. They’re very attentive making sure their guests are well taking care of before, during, and after the stay. We enjoyed the ambience, the comfort of the room, the served breakfast, the convenience of the location, and the host and hostess, as well as other guests we met at the hotel. Highly recommended!

It was a very pleasant stay. Only issue to get better are heating in the toilets. Room is warm and pleasant but the toilet and floor feels quite cold, that might need work, especially in autumn and winter. The place was perfect, clean, felt so welcome! Breakfast was perfect, they gave me everything I asked, a very great place to stay.
