Peru
This is a beautiful XVIII century house recently restored by a couple of retired academics, passionate about archaeology, Peruvian music and culture. The house is within walking distance from the main museums in the region where you can see the impressive remains of the cultures that developed in northern Peru before the Incas. It is simple, comfortable, very functional and charming. Nice swimming pool, no TV in bedrooms, easy access to cheap internet cafes, amazing local food in nearby restaurants. Most tourists go to hotels in either Trujillo or Chiclayo. San Roque is a good alternative for exploring northern Peru in a much nicer colonial town.
