During our stay in Peru, we had the pleasure of experiencing the unique charm of Second Home Peru, the Peruvian artist Victor Delfín's mansion. From the moment we stepped through the front door, we were greeted by an atmosphere of elegance and artistic flair. The entry hall welcomed us with its grandeur, adorned with large Versailles-style mirrors that added a touch of opulence. This grand entrance led us into a dining room with a coffered ceiling, exuding a sense of refinement and sophistication. On the other side of the first floor, we discovered a lounge area that sparkled with stained glass windows, showcasing an impressive collection of ancient pottery in curio cabinets. The focal point of the lounge was an exquisite inlaid piano, adding to the ambiance of artistic inspiration that permeated the space. Throughout our stay, we were captivated by the mansion's seamless blend of history, art, and luxury.

To be in this home/museum is a real treat. Everywhere one looked there was art. The grounds and public spaces oozed art. What an extraordinary opportunity to be surrounded by art and the ever present soaring vultures. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Great breakfast service, great bread, great eggs and bacon. Rooms were appropriately furnished and with lovely amenities. Super comfortable beds. Adequate outlets and individual bedside lights for reading. Multiple spaces throughout the property to relax and enjoy the beautiful location. The pool was super clean and absolutely lovely with fluffy towels to sunbathe. Staff could not be more friendly or accommodating. Excellent location to explore Barranco or relax and reset.

I cannot think of a thing.

The location above the sea, quiet and very private. The home itself was stunning. Each time I entered a room I noticed another artistic detail. The wood of the construction and furnishings was lovely. Many private places to sit, read, or sun. Pool area was unique and again very private. Rooms were quiet with warm breezes and tastefully appointed. Very comfortable beds. Lots of outlets. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Staff available and professional with helpful suggestions. Bar had a good selection.

Cannot think of anything I did not like.

We stayed here for one night on our last night in Peru. I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything about our stay here was magical. We loved being surrounded by Victor Delfin's inspiring art in the room, the common spaces, and the garden. The views of the sea were breathtaking, even with "Lima la gris" making it so we never saw the horizon or blue sky. We had pisco cocktails at sunset in the garden and watched the surfers from above. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was hot with good water pressure. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious--coffee, juice, bread, eggs, bacon, and fruit. The location was perfect--right in the middle of beautiful Barranco and a short walk down to the sea. We were hesitant to book because a night here was significantly more expensive than anywhere else we stayed in Peru, but it was absolutely worth it to stay in this one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast.

No negatives--we loved everything about our stay here.

What a wonderful place to stay and, as others have said, what a wonderful privilege to be able to stay in the home of Victor Delfin overlooking the sea. The location is superb, right on the cliff and metres away from some very good restaurants (we ate at the excellent Awicha). Our apartment was spacious, arty and we loved the balconies overlooking the sea. The bed was comfortable and the breeze through the windows was cooling and pleasant. Breakfast was simple but set in the lovely garden which was great. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Nothing was wrong, we really liked everything about our short stay.

Single mom with four teenagers stayed for Christmas. I had visited once before 4 years ago so knew I would feel safe and secure with the location with the kids in tow. People mention the AC, but the breeze from the ocean is so strong we actually became chilled at night. Remember it IS summer there right now. Luis was very kind to arrange for taxi when we left the area and made sure we weren't taken advantage of as we spoke only English. The women who serves breakfast every morning is so sweet and accommodating. I love this place.

Nothing to complain about. No negative at all.

It was wonderful to be in the home of Victor Delfin. His art is absolutely everywhere. It was pure pleasure to be immersed in such talented & prolific creativity. The house has a wonderful character and I loved being able to see and hear the sea from my comfy bed in my room. The staff are friendly and helpful. I got my washing done there. Breakfast was served on the terrace in the garden which I liked. The house is on many levels and is very beautiful and quirky. The pool is great to cool off in and the hanging chairs are somewhere to relax in the garden by the sea.

I can’t think of anything.

The location is excellent as it's near the waterfront with lovely views. It is also close to cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, museums, and the Bridge of Sighs in the Barranco neighborhood. On the property itself, there are various pieces of art and terraces for general enjoyment.

1.There is no supply of bottled water in the room. Upon request, I did receive boiled water for my use. 2. Accessing safe public transit is a bit challenging. I walked, biked or took a taxi to most places.

If you are looking for a boutique hotel with a difference in Lima, then this is the place. The hotel is a Victorian house perched on the edge of the cliff overlooking the Pacific. It is also the home of the famous artist, Victor Delphin, and the house and gardens are filled with his amazing paintings and scultures. Our room was fabulous with a stunning sea view. Breakfast is simple but adequate.

We were surprised that such a hotel did not provide bottled water in the room, nor bathroom products.

From the moment we arrived until we left we felt as though we were at home .Set high on the cliffs of Barranco Lima with a wide view out to the Pacific Ocean. Spacious quirky rooms decorated with paintings and sculptures crafted by the resident artist 95 year old Victor who is recognised nationally .His work is everywhere on the property. Two of his children run the business and are ready to help with anything and everything .Staff member Luis is second to none. He made our stay even more memorable . I would come back in a heartbeat
