  • Description

    Description

    We are Piero and Matías, a married couple living in the countryside with our two dogs, Apolo and Jesús. After leaving city life behind, we’ve embraced a slower and more mindful way of living: growing our own food, tending to the garden, and enjoying the natural rhythm of life.
    Our home is just 30 minutes from Puerto Varas, in a beautiful and peaceful spot with views of the Osorno Volcano. We’re surrounded by iconic destinations such as the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes, the Petrohué Waterfalls, Lake Todos los Santos, Puerto Octay, Frutillar, nearby beaches, and more.
    Here, nature takes center stage. The views are breathtaking, the air is pure, and life flows at its own pace.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We truly love opening our home to people from different cultures, because we believe that every encounter is a unique opportunity to learn and grow together. For us, sharing everyday life is the most authentic way to get to know a place: speaking different languages, exchanging traditions, and discovering what connects us beyond our differences.

    We want your stay with us to be much more than just accommodation. Our hope is that you’ll feel part of our daily life—whether it’s cooking and sharing a meal, exploring the city, or joining in the moments that naturally come up during your stay, such as birthdays, family gatherings, get-togethers with friends, or local events.

    Our intention is not only for you to see our culture from the outside, but to truly live it from within—warmly, authentically, and with genuine care. For us, it will be a joy to share this experience with you and, at the same time, to learn from you and everything you bring with you from your own story and culture.
