Second Home Peru

Great house living history excellent location

Pros: Victor Delfins' House is amazing, nice vibe, views, location, excellent staff are helpful with great recommendations for restaurants nearby.

Cons: Had a front-view room with a small balcony, excellent view, road noise late at night which we are not used to ( not the property's fault)

Interesting art hotel in fantastic location

Pros: The location was excellent and the hotel was a beautiful old building with lots of interesting art. The owner was helpful and the breakfast was good.

Cons: The room overlooking the sea was noisy due to the cars beeping their horns in the night

Pros: Love this place . Location, views, staff, breakfast, all the incredible artwork . Luiz was extremely helpful. I would definitely stay again. Close to calm Sandy beach for swimming or paddle boarding or surfing and right in the heart of Barranco

Cons: It's an old building with lots of character so don't expect the plumbing to work like a modern 5 star hotel

Unique and enjoyable place to stay.

Pros: Unique and interesting property in terms of design and original artwork. Fab location overlooking the sea.

Cons: Only enough hot water for one shower when we arrived at midnight (we'd just done 4 day Inca trail so a shower was feeling vital!). Lovely young man greeted us on arrival and staff were on the whole really helpful but the breakfast staff on first morning were quite abrupt and off-hand (much warmer on 2nd day).....personally I don't mind this, just adds to the character of the hotel and everyone doesn't have to be sweetness and light all the time - only mention as I think some might feel put off by this.

Excellent

Pros: Quirky, different and a fascinating place to stay. Ideal for people wanting to experience something a bit different.

Cons: Only negative was the bed was a bit small. Could easily have fitted a king size bed.

Fabulous historic hotel with lovely artwork and architectural details. Amazing sea views and a superb breakfast. In the

Pros: Beautiful hotel and lovely room with a spectacular sea view. Excellent breakfast. Fantastic location. Superb art. Had a tour of the studio and met the famous artist who was charming and very lovely. Saw amazing paintings and sculpting. Would come back for sure.

Truly amazing end to my month in Peru.

Pros: What an original home & studio of the famed Peruvian artist Delfin. The bed & bathroom was the best I had in my month in Peru & beat other 4 star corporate hotel hands down. Great location in Barranca & spectacular ocean views. Helpful staff & truly original & masterful art work displayed throughout. It was a privilege to stay there & would not hesitate to stay again if in Peru 🇵🇪

Wonderful location and staff in a very atmospheric property

Pros: Wonderful views of the whole coast in both directions. Art throughout the property from Victor Delfin. Very attentive staff, adapting to our needs. Freshly baked bread in the mornings with very good scrambled eggs. The sound of the sea.

Cons: In October it was quite cold but we had a heater in our room that we needed. It is common in Peru to have single glazed windows so it was cold and noisy (there is big road next to the sea) - nothing good earplugs can’t fix though.

Felt like a true second home!

Pros: Amazing stay at Second Home Peru in Barranco — full of street art, bars, and restaurants, and the area felt very safe. The hotel feels like an art gallery with a stunning sea view, tasty breakfast, and friendly hosts. Everything, including the airport transfer, was perfect.

Cons: We couldn’t find a single downside!

So glad we came to Second Home with all it's character rather some faceless corporate hotel chain.

Pros: Second Hime has a very special atmosphere (enhanced by Victor Delfin's artwork and sculptures) and the staff are all incredibly helpful. The breakfast was simple but good (including the coffee!). The location is very handy for exploring the Barranco area.

Cons: Being an English man and woman abroad we missed a kettle in our room although we could drop into the kitchen fir hot water and tea etc. The other complaint was that the shower was luke warm rather than hot and the bath plug didn't work so it was shower only (not a great hardship).
