Kudos to the Vira Vira team for our very private stay in late August. We visited during a quiet time at the lodge and enjoyed a very personal and intimate experience. The food is a highlight — Chef Damian is a maestro, preparing delicious, beautifully presented dishes - lots of freshly caught seafood, local vegetables, and cheeses from their local farm. Juan provided engaging table service, and we looked forward to every meal overlooking the scenic lagoon, forest and mountain landscape. We were lucky to have Antonio as a private guide, as we were the only guests on excursions during our visit. It was a worthwhile trek to see the mountain lakes and waterfalls. We booked a lovely suite overlooking the lagoon, located in the main building where dining and excursions depart. But, we stayed in a villa and appreciated the larger seating area when we stayed in due to rain. Villas require an outdoor walk to the dining room and overlook the river. The grounds are bucolic with grazing sheep and cows. There’s a small gym and two hot tubs - and we enjoyed the bath salts in our large in-villa tub. Villas also have a spacious outdoor tub, not usable during the winter months. This was our first visit to Chile and third stay with andBeyond, and we will continue to stay with andBeyond around the world. The level of hospitality, quality of lodging and amenities, and excellence of meals are outstanding and well worth it.
