Setting

Incan idyll

Between intrepid Incan adventures, home-from-home comforts are found amid the gardens of Andenia Boutique Hotel, an Edenic stay in Peru’s Sacred Valley. Machu Picchu is within day-tripping distance, but there’s much to keep you occupied closer to home. Afternoons in the peak-gazing pool slide into nights nursing pisco cocktails by the fire. Learn cookery and crafts from locals, or lose hours wafting through the bountiful gardens, picking fruit fresh from the bough. These are temptations worth succumbing to.

Our favourite rooms

You’ll have mountain views and a private terrace or balcony whichever room you pick. Especially cozy evenings beckon in the Bungalows, each of which have a wood-burning stove and a window seat made for curling up with a book and your tipple of choice.

Poolside

The stone-paved pool occupies a grotto-like spot in the gardens, with a hot tub and an outdoor shower surrounded by tropical foliage. It’s open from 11am to 8pm.

Packing tips

The mercury can be a little, well, mercurial round here, and nights get especially nippy, so lots of light layers are a must.

Also

Andenia’s gardens may have an air of Eden about them, but there’s no forbidden fruit here. You’re welcome to pick any fruit that takes as you wander through the hotel’s grounds.

Pet‐friendly

Every room can accommodate one four-legged pal, as long as you take responsibility for all food, care and room cleaning. Pets are welcome in the hotel’s restaurant, too. See more pet-friendly hotels in Sacred Valley.

Sustainability efforts

Food and Drink

Top Table

Out on the restaurant’s covered terrace, the scent of wildflowers and the occasional flit of a hummingbird makes for an atmospheric supper spot.

Dress Code

Laidback and layered up – throw on some blousey florals and you’ll fit right in.

Hotel restaurant

The hotel’s restaurant spotlights classic Peruvian dishes like lomo saltado, a pepper-laced steak stir-fry, and locally caught trout ceviche. There are nourishing soups and salads, too, alongside border-crossing comfort food including pizza and burgers.

Hotel bar

The lobby bar is your all-day refreshment spot, where every drink is proudly Peruvian. Start your morning here with locally grown coffee or tea from the hotel’s gardens, then return come sundown for pisco cocktails on the terrace.

Peru

You’ll find Andenia Boutique Hotel in a leafy, laidback spot in Peru’s Sacred Valley, between Cusco and Machu Picchu and primed for exploring all the area’s Incan ruins.

Planes

Cusco’s Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport is a 90-minute drive from Andenia. Direct flights touch down there from Lima and regional Peruvian hubs, as well as from Santiago. The hotel can arrange transfers on request for $45 each way.

Trains

The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Urubamba station, and around 45 minutes from Ollantaytambo station. Services to Urubamba are limited, but there are frequent daily departures from Ollantaytambo of both Peru Rail and Inca Rail trains, on a route from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Opt for Peru Rail’s Vistadome service for panoramic views, or the luxury Sacred Valley service for a wine-paired meal while you travel. The journey from Cusco to Ollantaytambo takes under two hours, and it’s an hour and a half to Machu Picchu. The hotel can book all train tickets and entrance tickets on request.

Automobiles

Trains and private tours will serve you best here. There’s no private parking at the hotel; if you plan to bring a car, you'll need to contact the hotel in advance.

Worth getting out of bed for

Let’s start with the headliner – from Andenia Boutique Hotel’s privileged position, Machu Picchu can be easily visited in a day trip. The hotel can help plan your outing there, along with Moray and the other Incan ruins of the Sacred Valley. A lesser-known ancient marvel, the Salt Mines of Maras predate the Incas; today, the thousands of ponds that make up the striking patchwork landscape are still owned and maintained by local families.

Get clued in on Andean culture with a ceramics class or a visit to a local village, learning about traditional crafts from weaving and dyeing to chocolate making. A cookery class with Andenia’s chef starts with gathering ingredients from the local market, before mastering some classic Peruvian dishes. Or try your hand at pachamanca, a type of traditional cooking using hot stones.

Guided yoga sessions run in the hotel’s gardens. But the Andes lend themselves to heart-racing adventures, too – options in easy reach include riding a paso horse, waterfall hikes, paddleboarding on an alpine lake, or mountain biking with dreamy Sacred Valley views.

Local restaurants

Mil is the Andean venture from superstar of the Peruvian cuisine scene, Virgilio Martínez. The restaurant works only with local, sustainable produce, with a roster of anthropologists teaming up with indigenous communities to research and grow ingredients. Book well in advance for the eight-course tasting menu, or make a day of it with a visit to Mil’s farmlands, meeting producers and learning about the history of Andean cuisine.

For something a little more low-key, Biga in nearby Urubamba is a cozy spot serving wood-fired pizzas with the fluffiest crusts this side of Naples.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this verdant hotel in the Sacred Valley and unpacked their muña tea and hand-dyed textiles, a full account of their Andean break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Andenia Boutique Hotel in Peru…

Andenia Boutique Hotel is undeniably primed for a Sacred Valley adventure. Staff can plan your trip to Machu Picchu and the other Incan ruins, or sort hiking and biking jaunts through the mountain landscape. When you return, it’s to a hearty plate of lomo saltado, a cup of homegrown chamomile tea, maybe some restorative yoga the next morning. You’re an Andean explorer, and this is your boutique basecamp. Or so the theory goes.

In reality, these homely comforts prove tricky to tear yourself from. Hours somehow pass as you slither from pool to botanical-shaded hot tub. Time slips away as a garden stroll lasts longer than intended. Up next, a cookery class, or perhaps a mooch into a local village to meet traditional artisans. Suddenly, you’re stargazing on your terrace, already succumbing to thoughts of tomorrow’s leisurely brunch, and it seems like perhaps a wonder of the world can wait a day or two, after all.
