The house has that tired feeling and is pretty dirty w dirty rugs and bath matts and dirty towels. Some simple upgrades would make it so much more comfortable and pleasant. For example, there is a window in the bedroom to the shared Jack and Jill bathroom and they taped a black garbage bag to it to block out the light. Yikes! There were cigarette butts littering the ground outside the front door. The bedroom windows let in tons of cold air. The kitchen is so dirty and the stove needs to be replaced—the handle to the kitchen sink fell off three times. The single use washer/dryer is useless—get a separate dryer that actually works and vent it properly. It takes 3 hours do dry a load of laundry. Cleanliness matters!

If, like us, you are taking your first trip to Chile to ski the Tres Valles, Casa Farellones is an excellent choice for a home base. It is a 10-minute or less drive to each of La Parva and El Colorado, and a 25-minute drive to Valle Nevado (note these times without ski traffic; expect longer if you are headed to the resorts for first lift). The views from the home/hot tub are incredible, morning, evening and night (you can clearly see the lights of Santiago after the sun sets -- beautiful). We stayed on the ground floor of the house and it was very clean, spacious, well appointed and, most importantly, comfortable. William is an outstanding host and incredibly helpful with advice. His main caution, however, is that if you are planning to stay for a week, you have to either hire a cook/chef for the week or stop in Santiago to grocery shop. There are no grocery stores in Farellones (or at the resorts) but for very minimal provisions. Likewise, the restaurants in town are few and really "unspecial." This is a serious logistical challenge and one big drawback about staying at a house as opposed to one of the hotels in Valle Nevado. If, however, you are looking for a house, this is the place! I do not think there is another home of its quality that is centrally located to all three Tres Valleys resorts. We are headed back, but likely will have William arrange a chef next time!

This house was awesome. Very modern and comfortable with outstanding views! Great for snowboarding/ski trip as it was extremely close to multiple ski areas! William was great and very helpful with advice for visiting farellones!

William is great. You get daily housekeeping. Internet is serviceable, location central. You should have a car and be a strong snow driver and know how to put on / off chains. Williams assistant Sak was super helpful with chains and other items like loading our car and being helpful with the wood fired grill, I had never used wood fired grill before, I'm never using charcoal again!!! Private and secluded. Very nice home. You won't be upset.

I've been to Chile for many ski trips during the past 30 years, and this was by far my best experience in terms of accomodations. Apart from the tasteful decoration and wonderful views, the installations are well above average for Chilean rental or hotel standards. The lower unit was perfect for our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 teenagers), with very comfortable rooms and large kitchen and social area, as well as the outdoor area and hot tub which both kids and adults enjoyed. Our host, William, was always available to help with anything we needed. Highly recommended!

Its our 3rd time in CasaFarellones. We just love the place by its confort, view and localization. You can ski in 3 different ski resorts (La Parva, El Colorado and Valle Nevado) that are really close. I sugget to rent a van on Santiago, buy food and the good Chilean wine and stay ther for a week, as the kitchen is complete... don´t forget the sparkling wine for the hot tube after ski.

Even before arriving Mr. William was very helpful with tips on what to take and when and where to go. Upon arrival they were waiting for us and helped us with our luggage. We had a couple of problems with the plugs of the house (Chilean Plugs). Again Mr. William immediately sent adapters. There was just enough snow for the kids to take lessons every day. The last three days we got 20" of powder. What an amazing vacation. Than-you, Thank-you, Thank-you.

Our visit to Casa Farellones was wonderful. The most incredible is not only the exceptional quality of the house and surroundings but also how this generates a magical atmosphere to share with the family! We are already planning our next visit to this special place, thanks for being such a good host!
