We spent one evening with the property owner Gustavo, he has amazing stories. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat.

We absolutely loved our experience staying here! Gustavo was extremely nice, communicative and and quick at responding to all of my messages! He gave us so much information and was very helpful in planning our stay! We met him at the property and he is a really funny and charismatic person! The house was absolutely beautiful and the showers were one of a kind! We paid extra to use the hot tub, which was just what we needed after days of hiking. He also organized an amazing horseback riding tour for us as well! I would not hesitate to recommend Gustavo or his place to anyone who wants a beautiful getaway in Peru!

The property far exceeded our expectations. The property is far better then the pictures even suggest . Sharme cooked for us and made sure everything was perfect. Gustavo was a great host, he was quick to answer and supplied us the perfect experience. I would without hesitation, recommend this property to anyone wanting a perfect getaway.

My family and I spent an amazing week at Cusco Villas - and the experience was truly unforgettable. The property is even more unbelievable in-person than in the pictures. Gustavo has created a magical, tranquil oasis in the Sacred Valley. The sprawling property consists of a luxurious home surrounded by your very own botanical garden. There really are just too many details to describe - the sounds of the stream that winds alongside the property, the hidden alcoves where you can sit in quiet reflection, the multiple water features, the fireplaces, the incredible showers... I could go on and on. Aside from the stunning property, what truly made this vacation so memorable was the time that we spent with the incredible people at Cusco Villas. Gustavo was a superb host with a magnetic personality - answering questions months prior to our arrival, taking time to review my trip itinerary, making invaluable suggestions, and always a text message away. He warmly greeted us when we arrived at Cusco Villas, giving us a tour of his property, and he was there to see us off on our last day. He regaled us with fascinating stories and he quickly felt like an old friend. Sharme - the multi-talented house manager / executive chef - was always available to fulfill any request, big or small. She greeted us each morning with a delicious breakfast. Her skills in the kitchen were spectacular and she would prepare the most amazing meals - among the best we had on our entire trip. From homemade stuffed-crust pizzas to lomo saltado - each meal was an inviting, multi-course experience filled with authentic Peruvian flavors. Lalo, our driver/guide extraordinaire, was the person with whom we spent the most time - and he became a member of our family during our trip. From pick-up to drop-off at the airport, Lalo was with us every day. He drove us to all of the sights, making fantastic itinerary suggestions based on how much or how little we wanted to do in the day. His wealth of local knowledge, kindness, and authenticity made our time with him unforgettable. We had the wonderful privilege of having Christmas Eve dinner with him, his wife, and their two wonderful children - an experience I will always cherish & remember. Lalo taught us about the rich history of the Sacred Valley, the Quechua people, and his hometown of Pisac. I'm truly grateful for his friendship. Thank you Gustavo, Sharme, & Lalo for making our family vacation such an unforgettable experience!

We spent two weeks at Cusco Villas. We rode horses, hiked into the village of Lamay, ate cuy, used all the showers -- you have to go there to understand :-) -- took the train to Machu Picchu, was driven by Lalo to all the local archeological sites, and had wonderful breakfasts and dinners (plus one Peruvian cooking lesson) by Sharme. Many of our excursions were arranged by our superhost. But the best part of Cusco Villas is the distance from all the noise and chaos of life. Unplugged (by choice), we relaxed in the evenings by playing chess together – something we’ve never done but appreciated so much we bought a chess set as soon as we got home. We spent many of our days simply enjoying the house and the gardens, watching the fish, the birds, and the skunk cows, and stargazing at night.

This property is fantastic! It's in the perfect location to visit Sacsaywaman, Pisac, and the rest of the Sacred Valley. And Gustavo was such a pleasure--a true gentleman who wants to help you have the perfect experience. My family and I had a great time.

We just returned from our trip to Peru, and the highlight of our trip was our stay at Cusco Villas. From the beginning, I was impressed with Gustavo's quick response and his ability to anticipate our every need. When we arrived, we had a driver ( Lalo) waiting for us at the airport. He took care of our luggage and gave us a wonderful tour on our way to the house. Arriving at the house, Gustavo ( the owner) was waiting to welcome us and give us a tour of the house. The house is even more breathtaking than the photos from the website. The photos truly do not do it justice. Charme not only was an incredible cook, but she also made sure to take care of every last detail and every one of our needs during our stay. She asked what food we liked, and made sure to prepare meals that my husband and I and the kids would love. Sharme also coordinated with Lalo (the driver/tour Guide) any tours or transportation needs we had, as well as helping us plan an afternoon of horseback riding for me and the kids which made everything completely stress-free. Everyone truly made sure that we felt at home and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Cusco Villas as it is truly a beautiful and memorable place. Gustavo and his staff were incredible — I would definitely return in the future.

We just loved our week at Gustavo’s home. It is nothing short of spectacular- the home is warm and inviting with unbelievable touches in every room. But our trip was really complete with the addition of Sharme and Lady. These two ladies really made the experience - they worked so hard to make sure our stay was perfect. Can’t wait to come back!

The villa certainly lived up to all of our expectations ( after reading lots of other reviews). Gustavo greeted us and was extremely thorough Showing us the ropes of the property. The house and grounds are lovely . The bathrooms are out of this world! Sharme , the housekeeper was terrific, she prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners, as well as taking care of all the drivers, masseuses ( exc.) , horseback riding...We are a a family of six adults , and as much as we love to be together the house allowed individual space. The only drawback IMO is the House is a distance from almost everything with the exception of Pisac, a pretty town with restaurants , ruins and a market. We took Gustavo’s advice and did not rent a car and are we ever glad The drivers were excellent.All In all we had a fabulous week in Peru !

Beautiful gardens and villa , all better than our high expectations. Very tranquil

Words cannot describe the perfect vacation home that Gustavo has created at Cusco Villas. From the moment we passed through the gates, we knew that we were in a very special place. The grounds are filled with beautiful gardens, ponds and sitting areas highlighting the spectacular mountain views. The home itself brings nature indoors with natural stone showers and beautiful wood floors and ceilings with windows everywhere offering views at every turn. Sharme is absolutely amazing, providing anything and everything we could possibly need while we were there, from arranging our transportation to the many wonderful local sights that Cusco has to offer, to creating the most incredible meals we have ever experienced. Gustavo has thought of everything. This is by far the best vacation experience we have ever had! We would highly recommend this home to anyone considering visiting the Cusco area, and we truly hope to be back again!

We stayed in this lovely home for a week. For an additional fee, you may hire a car and driver making traveling around Peru easy and accessible. The grounds were beautiful as well. A hot tub is available for an additional fee but we chose not to use it. Instead, we spent chilly evenings inside, around the warmth of the fireplace. While we found good restaurants near, we ended up eating most meals at home. The cook provided (additional fee) made the best meals in all of Peru!

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Gustavo's villa in the Sacred Valley. We had a lovely and relaxing time. We took advantage of all of the amenities that the villa had to offer and especially enjoyed Sharme's cooking. We even took a cooking class from Sharme and plan to recreate some of her specialties soon. There was supposed to be another couple traveling with us and had to cancel at the last minute because of a family emergency. This villa is large for just 2 people. I would recommend it for a group. We loved the Sacred Valley and the little town of Lamay was so quaint and authentic. A great location. I would definitely stay here again if we return to the Sacred Valley.
