Spectacular Garden! Two Sunset Terraces, Near Wineries - 25 miles to Santiago

Situated at the foothills of the Andes, in the heart of the Maipo Valley wine country, Casa Ishi offers you the tranquility and stunning beauty of the Mediterranean, coupled with a range of opportunities for outdoors activates, sports and unforgettable day trips.

With its quaint charm and delightful atmosphere, the Casa Ishi Vacation House features a dramatic wood-beamed ceiling, a spacious dining room that opens onto a terrace offering dazzling views of the sunset, and a fully-equipped kitchen with bar area and 6-person seating.

Each of the three bedrooms is furnished with comfortable beds and high-quality linens. Crack a window open at night to let in the soft breeze and the sounds from the nearby Maipo River lull you to sleep.

The Vacation House 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!

Casa Ishi is located in San Juan de Pirque, a semi-rural area in the renowned Maipo Valley. This is the most celebrated appellation in Chile, home to some of the oldest vineyards in South America. Nearby wineries include Concha y Toro, Almaviva, Haras de Pirque, Cousiño Macul, De Martino and Santa Rita, where you can have tours, tastings and dine on fine cuisine.

Casa Ishi is only 10 minutes from the center of Pirque there you can shop in our modern super market, eat in local restaurants and cafes, gas up your car, access the ATM, or visit the distinguished Concha Y Toro Winery located right in the middle of Pirque. For outdoor enthusiasts, we are on the road to the San Francisco glacier and access to the Andes.

Its excellent location just 30 miles from Santiago de Chile international airport provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities and day trips that will make for an exciting and fulfilling holiday.

The Casa Ishi property is completely secure and enclosed and offers free parking for up to 3 cars. Upon your request, we can provide access to drivers and professional tour guides.

Casa Ishi is the perfect retreat for an extended family trip.

Discover the beauty of the Mediterranean and relax with style in Casa Ishi!

Long-term renters encouraged! Substantial discount for rentals of more than 3 weeks.

A wonderful, old world stay
The setting is charming. A huge garden with a few buildings, isolated from the outside world. The house is all ceramic tiles 'from yore' which gives it an antique feeling (but with air conditioning and all the conveniences of home). One small comment. This home is dog friendly as advertised and has friendly dogs, who you will come in contact with. The host is easily the most helpful host we have ever dealt with. Informative, friendly and helpful. All her suggestions really improved an already great trip.

Quiet
This property was nice, but isolated. if this is what you're looking for , it's perfect. If you want access to town, restaurants, bars, don't stay here. the property itself is beautiful, just a bit far from action. Also, the wineries in Santiago are very far apart. So if you're after visiting them, stay in town and do organized day trips. The owner was very helpful.

The most magical property I have stayed at in my 30+ years of travel.
Casa Ishi is like a dream you don't want to wake up from. Two gorgeous acres of gardens, a breezy, comfortable home, thoughtful little touches, prime location, charming hosts...there's nothing not to love here. The house itself is situated on a larger property with several buildings, including Michelle and Teiji's beautiful historic home. It was wonderful being able to wander around the garden and relax in the shade with a bottle of wine at the end of a day. My daughter spent the bulk of her time running around with two new puppies that arrived just 3 weeks before us, and charmed the pants off us all. While we were there, the peaches and avocados were ripe and we sampled quite a few of both. There are upper and lower terraces at the back of the house, overlooking the valley but still well protected by trees and vegetation. We had a leisurely breakfast on the terrace every day and watched the sunset every night. As a foodie and cook, I appreciated that the kitchen was outfitted with everything needed to create wonderful meals, in addition to a barbecue on the nearest patio for grilling. The bed linens were absolute heaven to sleep on and an abundance of plush bath linens were provided. The beds were so comfortable I never even missed my own while we were there. There is an air conditioner available if you need one, but we preferred throwing open all of the windows at the front and back of the house and cooling everything down with the glorious cross breezes that brought in smells from the garden as well as distant sounds of life from the valley. The town of Pirque is the epicenter of some of the best things Maipo Valley has to offer. A few of the valley's best wineries and restaurants are a 30 minute drive or less, including Concha Y Toro (in the center of Pirque) which we learned is the largest winery in the world. Gorgeous landscapes and recreation in the Andean foothills are also close by and accessible by car. Michelle and Teiji have great recommendations for places to visit should you need them. In Michelle and Teiji we found two like-minded souls who we are so lucky to have met. They graciously hosted us for an evening of good food (lamb roasted in their mud oven!), good drink and good storytelling. Travel is great but connecting with people when you travel is even better. We couldn't have had a better experience than we did thanks to these two and we will forever be grateful for the time we spent with them.

Spectacular property, Propiedad espectacular
Our host, Michelle was great and took great care of us. If you love nature and being away from everything but also close to the vineyards, then this place is a must. Close to the Vinyard in the area and the property has so many nice places to enjoy the outdoors. We cooked steak on the grill an was able to connect with the outdoors and enjoy the sunset. Nuestra anfitriona, Michelle, fue genial y nos cuidó muy bien. Si amas la naturaleza y estar lejos de todo pero también cerca de los viñedos, entonces este lugar es imprescindible. Cerca de los Viñedos en el área y la propiedad tiene tantos lugares agradables para disfrutar del aire libre. Cocinamos bistec a la parrilla y pudimos conectarnos con el aire libre y disfrutar del atardecer.

Beautiful Property!!
I really can’t say enough about this wonderful property and the owners, Michelle and Teiji. It was truly an amazing property. The fruits that they have are abundant and very good. The garden is well manicured, lush, green and gorgeous. I would have been happy just staying at the property the whole time. Michelle was an great host and helped us with everything, literally everything. You need a rental car as the location is not within walking distance of markets and restaurants. Uber, DiDi and taxis aren’t reliable at that location. For us, the location and property was exactly what we wanted. We could hear the Maipo River and that was very relaxing especially while sitting on the terrace with some of the amazing Chilean wines we bought. It is close to a couple of wineries, Santa Rita and Concha Y Toro. Santiago is about a 45-60 minute drive. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Place
The house is on a beautiful property in wine country and the Andes mountains. It was a great place to start and end the day - we loved sitting out in the yard and our son couldn’t stop picking and eating grapes and oranges off of the trees. Michelle was super helpful in giving us suggestions on how to best enjoy the area. Overall, it was a great experience.

Wine Country Oasis
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Ishi and hope to return in the future. The property was perfectly situated at the foothills of the Andes, in close proximity to wine country. The owners were responsive to all of our questions, before and during our stay. They were happy to show us how to use the mud oven, as well as offering fresh herbs to use in our cooking. The grounds were beautiful, and we enjoyed our evenings, sitting under a grape canopy, with a glass of wine. I would highly recommend this property for those looking for a few days of R and R, or as a longer-term rental and a great spot to base your stay in Chile.

The accommodations are wonderful and the garden is spectacular. It was ideal for 4 adults. There is plenty to do nearby but the real pleasure is the setting; a patio and gardens to sit, eat, and drink wine. The house is fully furnished with all you need. I hope to return for a longer stay.

A Slice of Paradise
We recently spent seven days at Casa Ishi. The gardens are magnificent, bursting with color, and orange and avocado trees abundant with fruit. A romantic sitting area under the grape arbor is perfect for an evening of tapas and wine. Mornings on the terrace with a good book are especially relaxing. The location is convenient and offers easy access for day trips to hot springs, white water rafting, horseback riding or a bike ride through wine country and wine tasting. The hosts, Michelle and Teiji, are very accommodating and make a genuine effort to ensure your privacy yet are available should you need anything or have any questions regarding the surrounding area. We were two couples and the house was very spacious. I would recommend Casa Ishi without hesitation. Patti Scribner High Falls ,NY USA

What a marvelous oasis!
From start to finish staying at Casa Ishi was a wonderful experience! Michelle was quick with all email communications, clear on directions and truly a gem to work with. Michelle and her husband made us feel welcome on their property from the moment we arrived. There are so many little spots to sit and enjoy your surroundings, it made it hard to choose where to sit. The house was clean, well appointed and warmly furnished. Recommendations as to where to visit, where to eat, and what to see were readily available. This was really a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend staying at Casa Ishi! Robert and Jeaneen Avery, Mark and Mary Lobaugh

Michelle was very accommodating and responsive. The place was clean. Michelle even gave us the extra home so we can spread out for no additional charge. The place is clean, organized, beautifully landscaped and easy access to the winery in PIRQUE. I will go back there again given another opportunity.

Exceptional Grounds with Excellent Location
Had a family group of 5 adults stay for 4 nights. The grounds are stunningly beautiful. All 3 bedrooms had very comfortably firm beds. The location in Pirque provided excellent access to Maipo region wineries and good hiking up in the Maipo valley canyon. The property has a kitchen that is basic, functional, but not large. Dining area readily accommodated the 5 of us. Weather for us was exceptional so we did not really get to try the HVAC capabilities. I am very stingy with 5 star ratings, hence my 4 star rating

Gorgeous and Perfect Getaway an hour from Santiago
If you are in Santiago and looking for a great stay - away from the bustle in beautiful countryside surroundings then this is the place. Very clean and superbly kept gem just outside Santiago in the Maipo valley. An amazing guesthouse on a larger property with an amazing garden full of fruit trees. I cant say enough how amazing this location is and how friendly the owners are. The guest house is immaculate as is the whole estate and all kept very tidy and clean. If you need to get away from the bustle of Santiago this a great spot to explore the nearby countryside and get away from it all for some peace and tranquility. Vey close to Pirque and surrounding vineyards as well as easy access to Cajon del Maipo. Always hate to give away these gems but felt I should share it. we will definitely be going back very soon

Fantastic!
Michelle and her husband, Keije, are wonderful hosts and Casa Ishi is amazing! We felt like we were staying in a botanical garden. The home is extremely comfortable and easy access to many sites in the region. We are a family of four and the accommodations were more than enough for us. My two boys each got their own room which was the only time on our two week visit to Chile and Easter Island that they enjoyed that luxury. Michelle provided recommendations for drivers and tour guides which worked out well. She also encouraged us to pick vegetables and fruits from the garden. Everyday we made phenomenal salads to accompany our dinners and had fresh fruit with our lunches. Overall, our stay at Casa Ishi was very memorable and special.

Stayed for two wonderful weeks on this beautiful Property. Michelle and her husband where wonderful hosts and made sure we were very comfortable. The fruit trees on the property give sweet aromas. The grapes that grow on several different vines are delicious. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Beds were VERY comfortable and many pillows to choose from. Hot water was instant and very hot. Great location for exploring the vineyards. Also for exploring the near by volcano and mule rides. Perfect for a family. Would highly recommend this property!!!

Paradise in Maipo River!!!
We stayed in Casa Ishi over Thanks Giving break and were very lucky to meet with Michele and Kenji, who are the perfect hosts, very attentive and nice! The house is a charming old countryside property, nicely modernised, finely decorated and spacious, with a wonderful terrace with nice views to the mountains and surrounded by farms and huge trees...we spent very relaxing afternoons there, drinking wine at sunsets. We were a group of 4 people, but the house would have easily accommodated six.The kitchen was very well equipped and we cooked everyday, taking full advantage of the fruits that Michele kindly encouraged us to collect from the trees around the house: nesperas, oranges, sour cherries... It's very close to the wineries of Maipo, but a car is essential to better explore the area. It's relatively easy to drive in Chile, although having a local in the group helped with finding the best routes and shortcuts. You can not go wrong renting Casa Ishi! If we are going back to Chile, we are definitely not wasting any time in Santiago, we'll go directly there!
