This was exactly what I was looking for! I had a one-night stay over in Santiago, and wanted to be in a walkable, leafy neighborhood with a lot of history and good places to eat, so I honed in on Bellavista. Gianfranco was the perfect host, and he has meticulously remodeled the family home that his grandfather bought during the first half of the last century, so that it feels like walking into a time capsule of Santiago during Pablo Neruda's time (the poet's house is around the corner). Besides the private terrace overlooking the hillside, the place has an incredible sauna (designed by Gianfranco) that was perfect for sore muscles after a long flight. I'd happily make this my future home away from home in Santiago de Chile!
