Palafito Hostel, Chiloé Island

Location

Castro (Chiloé Island, Chile)

Description

A simple, though charming, wooden hostel in a converted palafito (stilt house) overlooking the bay on the edge of Castro.  Well designed, the hostel receives plenty of natural light and is warm and welcoming. At the heart of the building is a homely open kitchen and breakfast area which opens out onto a small deck over the water.

Accommodation

There are 8 simple rooms including several en-suite with their own balcony.

Our comments

A charming yet rustic option that gives you a flavour of Chiloé's traditional palafitos. Just off the main road out of Castro, there is some noise from the traffic.
