With its quaint charm and delightful atmosphere, the air conditioned Casa Ishi Guest Loft includes a full kitchen with handcrafted cabinets, a bathroom with colorful handmade tiles, a living area furnished with antique furniture and wood-beamed ceilings, and a king bed with fine linens for your comfort throughout your stay.
The Guest Loft is part of an expansive 2.5-acre property, surrounded by lush greenery and a fruit garden providing a much-needed shade and comfort during the hot days.
Make sure to wander through the property and walk around the lush gardens, stopping to pick a fruit or two from our abundant apricot, avocado, fig, lemon, orange, plum and walnut trees or sample the grape arbors. Seek shade under the century-old palm trees or enjoy a chilled cocktail in the perennial gardens. And, to end your day with style, check out the mud oven and roast some veggies and meat over the stone barbecue. Or even hire a private chef to prepare an authentic Chilean meal!

Truly a hidden gem!
Casa Ishi is truly a hidden gem, conveniently located 5 miles from Conchi Y Toro Vineyard. Behind the gate lies a lovely garden filled with fruit trees and vines of herb. There are orange trees from which you can pick fresh oranges to make a cup of freshly squeezed OJ, lemon, avocado, and fig trees. Vines of edible grapes. Rows of lavender, rosemary, … and of course many varieties of cute or handsome succulents.In the lodge by the garden, you can witness peaceful sunrise in the morning and beautiful sunset in the evening.Kitchen is well designed for home cooking away from home.Cash Ishi is a place to rest and recover … inside or in the garden.We also found Casa Ishi is a convenient place to use as a base for travel to good vineyards, trekking Andes, good restaurants and markets including farmers’ market where you can find many fresh and very tasty fruits and vegetables, all within an hour of drive. The owners of Casa Ishi, Michelle and Teiji are kind and helpful. Our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. From the moment you check-in to the time you depart, we were treated with genuine hospitality and a warm smile. They are knowledgeable about the local area and are always ready to offer recommendations for activities, dining, and sightseeing.In conclusion, our time at Casa Ishi with Michelle and Teiji is an unforgettable experience. We are sure to return.

Incredible Stay
My husband and I stayed at Casa Ishi for our last four nights in Chile. It was about an easy 50 minute drive from the airport. We absolutely loved the house! It was private, beautifully furnished, clean and the kitchen had all the cookware and utensils we needed to make meals. The house is situated above the river and surrounded by the beautiful gardens on this property. We woke up every morning to the sound of the river and the incredible birds. We really enjoyed having coffee in the morning and wine in the evening at the table and chairs (under the grape vine covered trellis) in the garden. It was very peaceful and quiet and we took many walks around the garden so we could see all the fruit trees and beautiful flowers. This is a great location and everyday we took day trips, went to some of the wineries and also went to Pomaire to shop for pottery.
The owners were wonderful and made us feel very welcome! They took good care of us and provided information related to local stores and restaurants. We went to the restaurant at Concha y Toro and had lunch at La Vaquita Echa and would recommend both for dinner or lunch. The local grocery stores were great, well stocked and we found everything we needed to make our own meals as well. We went to Santiago at the beginning of our trip and we are so glad that instead of going back to Santiago, we decided to stay at Casa Ishi. We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful property and hosts
Michelle and Teiji have a beautiful property approximately an hour from Santiago. The grounds are perfectly manicured with lovely flowers and fruit trees, and the two houses are artfully decorated and well maintained. There was always the sound of running water from the nearby river, providing a wonderful backdrop. They were both fantastic hosts and recommended several winieries nearby to visit. Would recommend to anyone looking for a respite just outside Santiago.
