We found Nunu in the new Lonely Planet guide and the high rating was fully deserved. A rough track off the main road leads to a walled oasis with 1/2 acre of beautiful gardens. Private, detached rooms/suites surround the garden looking over lawns and the hills behind. An absolute haven. This was built, run, and for us, hosted by Xavier. All the details are spot on- the design and service coming from someone who totally gets what travellers want. The rooms and main dining/lounge area are stylish, creative and show great attention to detail. They are individually decorated with local antiques and textiles, plants and flowers abound - an absolute pleasure to stay in. We ate simple, well made meals, had log fires and chatted to Xavier - it felt far more like being a house guest than being in a hotel - fabulous. Most of our trip (barring the Nunu bit) was arranged by UK based Audley travel who did a fine job with their local knowledge. They understandably avoid some of the badly regulated local activities so we had booked these ourselves. On the Nunu site recommendations we hiked & climbed through La Base Lamay and we rafted with Munaycha. All the guides were highly professional, with new kit and lots of experience. All would be up to UK standards - the absolute opposite of some the local cheap and cheerful operators. Overall, Nunu was the perfect base for us, for a few days rest and safe adventures in the sacred valley. Can't recommend it highly enough - we would love to return.
