HOTEL & CAVA ESTANCIA RILAN
OUTSTANDING ARCHITECTURE AND LOCATION
We aspire to be the bridge through which you discover all the magic of Chiloé. In this firsthand encounter with the Chilean Patagonian islands, you will come to know the region’s wildlife, flora, and southern customs, all while enjoying world-class cuisine offered by @rucalaf_chiloe restaurant. Paired with some of the 45 labels in our small wine cellar, along with beers, sparkling wines, and spirits—many of which are crafted right here in the archipelago—you will experience an unforgettable journey marked by curiosity, enjoyment, relaxation, respect, and the desire to return.
To achieve this, we have carefully chosen the perfect location, designing and building a beautiful, noble proposal that allows the landscape to flow into every aspect of its structure. This vision was brought to life by the architecture firm Ortuzar and Guebauer, who, along with a talented team, succeeded in unveiling and capturing the essence of the place. You can find the project in detail on the prestigious blog @archdailyenespanol.
Our commitment is to offer a modest, transparent proposal that integrates the community through various services, fostering collaboration with other entrepreneurs on the island. We work with respect and care for the environment: we have reforested with local trees, implemented rainwater collection systems, established areas for recycling and composting, and practice differentiated use of greywater, among other initiatives.
Situated on a 2.1-hectare property on the Rilán Peninsula, 35 km from Castro, our facilities include 8 rooms, all identical, with the same view and features. There are two spacious living rooms in the sleeping area, where you can read, converse, and observe the vegetation. In the dining room, you can enjoy the warmth of our fireplace, share with other guests, and be amazed by the stunning landscape of La Estancia. In our wine cellar, you can savor fine wines, cheeses, hams, and local pickles, complemented by an outdoor fire pit, barbecue area, and small interior trails, making your stay truly special.
During your stay, we will guide you and help you find the best activities: from exploring the beautiful churches of Chiloé, discovering its traditional festivals, mythology, and gastronomy, to enjoying numerous tourist attractions. We do not have a spa or hot tubs; we enjoy sharing with our guests. The team working with us is not bilingual, but they are all locals who now passionately serve in an industry where service is provided with care. They will pamper you in the summer by bringing plums from their orchards, mint, or rosemary to enhance the flavor of Chiloé potatoes roasted in the oven.
Considering the hotel’s infrastructure and its adult-oriented concept, we have decided to be transparent about our policy: the minimum age for children is 15 years.
The goal of creating a project that would fulfill our long-held desire to settle in Chiloé and allow us to offer an interesting proposal has challenged us to pour all our energy into this endeavor.
