  Description

  Hey, there!
  
  We’re Valentina and Gabriela, two pals passionate about bringing new life to this charming 120-year-old house, transformed into an awesome hostel in the heart of Pichilemu, one of the world's most exciting surf destinations. When you come to stay with us, you'll likely catch us adding our artistic touch to the walls, and volunteers tinkering away in our greenhouse or adding their creative value.
  
  Volunteers and guests alike tell us they find this such a suitable place to read, write, make music, and delve deeper into their creative endeavors since they quickly find inspiration in every area of the hostel. You’ll notice that we pour our hearts into keeping this place cozy and gorgeous, so if you’re into house renovations, this could also be the perfect place for you!
  
  In downtown Pichilemu, on Ortuzar St, you’ll find plenty of spots to chill and hang out close to the hostel. A wide variety of local food restaurants, cool thrift stores, cultural bars, and convenient drugstores are within walking distance from here. What's more, within less than 10 minutes, you can stroll to La Puntilla Beach, a beautiful brown sand beach where you can enjoy a nice sunset view and practice surfing!
  
  The hostel offers a mix of private and shared rooms. We usually have a dozen rooms that are available. We also have a spacious backyard where we keep our greenhouse (we’d love to build an outdoor climbing wall there too!). If you come during the summer, you’ll share the common spaces with plenty of cool travelers and surfers, and if you come during the down-season, you’ll enjoy the comfort and tranquility of living in a huge house with just a handful of friendly people.
