Right from the planning stage (lots of emails for Rodrigo to deal with!) right through to saying a sad farewell to his mother, Claudia, the lovely hostess - we received kind, efficient attention & superb hospitality.
Rodrigo is (as we found out as we went along during the planning phase) a very efficient "tour operator" who handled all our bookings in Peru for all 11 days - from the Perurail tickets to taxis & guides to hotels throughout the country. It was all done brilliantly & he clearly has an excellent relationship with the hotels he uses (mostly in tripadvisor "top 5" small hotels), in several instances getting a better deal than I would have done directly.
Kuychi Rumi itself is very attractive with beautiful gardens - only a 5 minute taxi ride from the lively market town of Urumbamba (& the super friendly taxi driver, Jorges, was always on hand to collect & deliver one for about $1 each way).
One is allocated a 2 bedroom cottage, beautifully designed by Claudia's architect husband; there is a well equipped kitchen, dining table & chairs, a lovely fireplace in which fires will be lighted on request & even a little balcony & personal garden area. In fact the only minor detail which was missing was a heated towel rail, which we thought was needed having in mind the chilly evenings & the difficulty in getting one's towells dry. However in every other respect it was perfect and the maids even came in every day to make one's bed & tidy up.
Finally mention should be made of Claudia's 5 star breakfasts - well worth the 5 minute stroll to the nbreakfast room for; we certainly didn't use our excellent starter pack to replace this meal!
To summarise, I'll quote another reviewer:
5 star facilities & hospitality at a 3 star price
