We love staying here. The rooms are gorgeous; the home is an art gallery. We had the delightful experience of meeting Delfin, the father of the owner and a terrific artist. The location is excellent: we could walk out to several excellent restaurants. The view is beautiful. Our only complaint, and it's minor, is that the breakfast was a little... more

We chose this place because we wanted a fix on the Pacific before heading overland to the Atlantic. The house and villa below cling to the cliffs of Barenco with fantastic view. What we hadn't fully taken on board was that this is the working and exhibition space for an internationally renowned Peruvian artist. the house and the view are... more

We stayed here for one night on our first night in Peru last year. The trip started off horribly as we had arranged through email to picked up at the airport by someone from the hotel. When we arrived in Lima, there was to be someone there waiting for us in arrivals to drive us to Second Home, as it's... more

We spent a total of three nights in Lima at this lovely B& B. I will start with the positives. Second Home is a truly unique place. It is very much like staying in an art museum or gallery, as others have said. We loved the works of art, gardens, and architecture. Also appreciated were the helpful and friendly staff,... more

What an incredible place. The profusion of sculptures and art by Lilian's father render the establishment a living museum and what a privelege to stay here. It really is an oasis in Lima & well worth the 50 minute trip from the airport (& the extra 10 minutes past Miraflores, where most tour operators overnight their clients ). The only... more

This is the only place I would stay in Lima. The ocean front location, rooms, and amazing artwork made everything perfect. American travellers need to understand however that it is a privilege to stay in the family home of Peru's most famous artist. more

It took us awhile to locate this gem tucked away down a non-impressive sidestreet, but once inside it was a secret paradise. The handmade iron gate swings open and you are in a secret garden hideaway. Lilian is a very gracious hostess and she will ask for your trip plans, nod, and then give you her opinions on what is... more

My wife and I are middle of the road travelers and booked the hotel because of this website. We had great weather the two nights we were there so the location right on the water was excellent. The house is much bigger than you think after looking at the website, it just keeps going and going. Lillian was very nice,... more

We were met at the airport and taken to the Hotel I was bowled over by the beauty of the place and the quailty of the fittings. The view out of the window was lovely and the staff very helpful. Lilian advised us where to go for our first day and how much the taxis would cost. Breakfast was good... more
