This a stunning, very private, peaceful amazing getaway. It was everything I was looking for to escape from the cold back home and enjoy a bit of the South American summer. The Feb.-March weather in Santiago was a perfect 80 degrees Fahrenheit (or so) every day, dry & Mediterranean. And this was 100% the perfect place to enjoy it. You have your own beautifully crafted little compound within a compound. (The larger hillside estate has many parcels belonging to different members of the extended family.) Everything has been chosen with an eye to design, inside and out. Total privacy, total security (with a guard station to enter the community), total relaxation. Maria exudes warmth and eagerness to please, despite being in London. Her family is right there to help with anything, and she is always available to arrange or help with anything. Loved the bbq. The trees provide lots of shade, but you can lounge in the sun, too. It’s really got everything you could possibly need.
