Where to stay in Casablanca Valley, Chile: vineyard hotels, wine lodges and nearby towns

Best vineyard hotels and countryside stays in Casablanca Valley

1. La Casona at Matetic Vineyards: a stay on a working wine estate

Location: Rosario Valley, next to the Casablanca wine country · Style: upscale vineyard boutique hotel · Best for: couples, special occasions and wine-focused stays · Standout: vineyard activities, tastings and dining on the Matetic estate

La Casona is the hotel to choose if you want to sleep at a Chilean winery itself. It sits on the Matetic estate in the Rosario Valley, in a colonial country house restored in the style of around 1900, with 10 rooms, gardens, a swimming pool and a lounge with a fireplace. It feels more like a private country house than a hotel.

Matetic farms biodynamically, and guests can walk the estate, learn how it is farmed and taste the EQ and Corralillo wines. The estate’s Equilibrio Restaurant cooks modern Chilean food with produce from its own organic gardens.

What makes it special?

You can book more than a room. Matetic sells three one-night programs: bed and breakfast, half board and full board. Half and full board include dinner and breakfast at Equilibrio, and full board adds an outdoor excursion through the valley. That saves you arranging meals and wine visits one by one.

What to know before booking

La Casona belongs to Matetic’s Rosario Valley estate, near Cartagena in San Antonio province, not the central Casablanca stretch of Ruta 68. If your priority is Casas del Bosque, Emiliana, Veramonte or Bodegas RE, you will need transport between those wineries and the hotel.

Our verdict: the strongest choice if you want the whole stay to be about wine, food and vineyard scenery. Check dates and rates for La Casona at Matetic on Booking.com, or book a board program on Matetic’s hotel website.

2. Hotel Casavino: a romantic vineyard cabin

Location: Camino Lo Ovalle km 7 (Ruta F-850), Casablanca · Style: private countryside cabins · Best for: couples and anniversaries · Standout: panoramic terraces and private wood-fired hot tubs

Where La Casona is a polished winery hotel, Hotel Casavino is about privacy. Its cabins look over the rural Casablanca landscape from hillside terraces, and four of the five have their own wood-fired hot tub.

Casavino has no lobby full of guests or busy restaurant. The rooms are individually designed cabins named Residencia Artística, CasaPablo, Casa Columpio, CasaToya and The Cave of Wine, and the idea is privacy, views and time together.

What is included?

The hotel says each stay includes breakfast served in your cabin at the time you choose, a bottle of local wine for the first night and free covered parking. A bicycle and helmet are available if you reserve them. The hotel can also help arrange transport to wineries, private tastings, massages and food delivery. It names Loma Larga and Bodegas RE, both about 4 km away, as the nearest wineries.

The Cave of Wine is built into the hillside, using the cool, steady temperature of the earth around it.

How much does Hotel Casavino cost?

The hotel’s own site lists these starting prices per night:

These are starting rates read on hotelcasavino.com in October 2026, so they are not quotes for your dates. Check the number of guests, taxes, inclusions and cancellation terms when you book.

What to know before booking

Casavino takes couples only. The hotel says its elevated cabins lack the safety features for children, so families should choose elsewhere. The remote setting also means you need a car, a designated driver or prearranged transfers to reach wineries and restaurants.

Our verdict: one of the best options for couples who value privacy, a terrace with a view and a quiet evening more than hotel facilities. Book on the Hotel Casavino website, or compare other stays along Camino Lo Ovalle.

3. Hotel Boutique BCW Casablanca: a boutique hotel with a spa

Location: Lagunillas, Casablanca Valley · Style: historic country-house hotel · Best for: couples and relaxed wine weekends · Standout: heated pool, sauna, hot tubs and a restaurant

Hotel Boutique BCW, also called Hotel Boutique Lagunillas Casablanca, occupies a restored country house about 120 years old. It is a more traditional hotel than Casavino’s cabins and keeps the feel of a country property. The facilities include a heated pool, a sauna and cypress-wood hot tubs, and the restaurant is El Descorche. Rooms range from king and super-king doubles to rooms with a fireplace and family rooms.

Why choose BCW?

You spend the day at wineries and come back to dinner and a spa without arranging anything else. It suits couples who want a proper boutique hotel but do not need to sleep on a working winery. Lagunillas also sits away from the busiest stretch of Ruta 68.

What to consider

BCW has a wine-country feel but no cellar or tasting program of its own, so book winery visits separately unless a package includes them. For two nights, it works as a base for the vineyards and a day on the coast.

Our verdict: a good all-rounder for wine-country scenery, hotel comfort and an afternoon at the spa. The hotel also sells rooms on its own website.

4. Casona El Refugio Casablanca: a traditional countryside stay

Location: Camino Lo Ovalle km 1, Casablanca · Style: boutique countryside hotel · Best for: travelers who want local character and a quiet base · Standout: rural setting with local food and wine-country activities

Casona El Refugio suits travelers who want to slow down in the countryside without booking a full winery package. It focuses on rooms, local food and outings in the valley; its website lists wine activities, cycling, horse riding and visits to learn about rural traditions. It is a quiet retreat, not a resort.

Why stay here?

Camino Lo Ovalle puts you close to the town and to the wineries around it. Choose it if the wider valley interests you as much as a full schedule of tastings.

What to check

Ask which meals and activities come with your room, and whether the hotel can arrange transport to wineries. A room booking does not automatically include tastings, excursions or dinner.

Our verdict: a good boutique choice for countryside comfort and a more local stay. See also the El Refugio website.

5. Casa Macaire: a secluded vineyard guesthouse

Location: Camino Tapihue, Casablanca · Style: country guesthouse among the vines · Best for: families, small groups and slow countryside stays · Standout: vineyard views and large shared rooms

Casa Macaire looks like what many people picture when they search for a vineyard hotel. The owners describe a 1,200-square-meter country house with seven bedrooms, set in almost 50 hectares of vines, olive trees, lavender and native plants. The bedrooms look over the grounds, and the house has large living rooms, fireplaces and a big kitchen. Instead of formal winery tours, the stay is about reading, cooking, walking and drinking local wine in quiet surroundings.

Why choose it?

It suits stays of more than one night, and a large shared house can make more sense than several hotel rooms for a family reunion or a group of friends. You get the vineyard setting without joining an organized tasting every day.

What to know before booking

Ask whether single rooms, the whole house or both are available for your dates, and whether breakfast, housekeeping and meals are included; a guesthouse runs differently from a full-service hotel.

Our verdict: one of the most interesting choices if the setting matters more to you than a restaurant or spa downstairs. Book through the Casa Macaire website, or compare other stays around Tapihue.

6. Hotel Casablanca Spa & Wine: conventional hotel facilities

Location: near Ruta 68, Casablanca · Style: hotel and spa · Best for: travelers who want hotel facilities and easy road access · Standout: spa access and the main road on the doorstep

Hotel Casablanca Spa & Wine suits visitors who want to stay in the valley but prefer an ordinary hotel to a secluded cabin or a small guesthouse. Rooms have private bathrooms and balconies, and its Booking.com listing advertises breakfast and spa access in the room rate.

Its advantage is convenience. If you are driving between Santiago and the coast or want facilities on site, compare it with the smaller properties. Recent guest reviews are more mixed than for some of the boutique hotels, especially on value and facilities, so read the latest reviews and room details first.

Our verdict: a practical hotel to compare when price, spa access and an easy location matter more than a memorable vineyard stay.

Which Casablanca Valley hotel should you choose?

A vineyard view does not mean a winery runs the hotel. If you want to walk from your room to a tasting, Matetic is the only one of these that lets you do it.

Where to stay: Casablanca town vs vineyards vs the coast

Where you stay can matter more than which hotel you pick. The valley’s wineries are scattered along the main road and quieter lanes, and a property sold as “Casablanca” may be some way from the winery you want.

1. Casablanca town: a practical base

Casablanca is a small working Chilean town with no resort feel. It has shops, restaurants, services and roads out to the wineries, and it lets you spend the day among the vines and come back to town in the evening. Search stays in Casablanca.

Best for: independent travelers with a car and anyone who wants several wineries within reach. The trade-off: you may not get vineyard views, evening dining is more limited than in Santiago or on the coast, and there is little nightlife.

2. The countryside: for wine-focused stays

If the vineyards are the point of the trip, sleep among them. You may wake to vines and wooded hills, hear almost no traffic and get the quiet a quick tasting trip never gives you. Casavino, Casa Macaire and La Casona at Matetic all offer that.

Getting around takes more planning. A country lodge can be several kilometers from the nearest restaurant, and taxis are not always available on demand. If you plan to drink, arrange transport in advance.

Best for: couples, longer stays, wine lovers and anyone who values quiet.

3. Valparaíso: for culture, restaurants and wine trips

Valparaíso suits you if wine tasting is one part of a wider Chile trip. The port city is known for its steep hills, colorful houses, street art and viewpoints, and you get an evening in the city after a day among the vines. Many visitors stay on Cerro Alegre or Cerro Concepción, where small hotels sit close to restaurants, galleries and walks; search stays on Cerro Alegre. Allow 40 to 60 minutes or more by road to the central Casablanca wineries, depending on the winery and traffic.

Two Valparaíso hotels to consider

Winebox Valparaíso is built from recycled shipping containers, with studio rooms that have kitchens and sea views. Its wine theme and design make it a fitting base for a wine-focused trip to the coast; see the Winebox website.

Hotel Casa Higueras, on Cerro Alegre, is an upscale boutique hotel in a historic house with views over the bay, a pool and gardens. Its small size suits travelers who want a comfortable base for both the city and a winery day; see the Casa Higueras website.

Why choose Valparaíso over Casablanca?

The city gives you more to do once the wineries close: galleries, neighborhoods, dinner over the harbor and another day on the coast. The trade-off is that you need a driver or tour to reach the wineries, and you do not sleep among the vines. Our guide to Casablanca Valley wine tours from Valparaíso covers the tours that leave from the coast.

4. Viña del Mar: a coastal holiday with wine tasting

Viña del Mar suits travelers who want a more conventional resort town. Compared with Valparaíso, it has wider beaches, larger hotels, shopping and a more relaxed holiday feel, and it works for combining beach days with a Casablanca day. Allow roughly 45 to 70 minutes by road to the central wineries. Search stays in Viña del Mar.

A coastal hotel to consider

The Sheraton Miramar Hotel & Convention Center is an established oceanfront hotel with Pacific views, restaurants, a spa and pools. It is not vineyard accommodation, but it suits visitors who want a large upscale hotel and a wine day trip. Sleeping by the sea feels nothing like Casablanca’s rural lodges. Marriott also sells rooms on the Sheraton Miramar website.

Valparaíso or Viña del Mar?

Choose Valparaíso for architecture, culture and unusual small hotels. Choose Viña del Mar for the beach, bigger hotels and a familiar seaside resort. Both work for a Casablanca tasting day; the Casablanca and Valparaíso wine tours page compares the days that cover both.

5. Santiago: for a single day of wine tasting

If you are staying in the capital and only want one day in wine country, you do not need to change hotels. Santiago has far more places to stay than Casablanca, from hostels to luxury hotels, plus restaurants, museums and day trips to other wine regions such as the Maipo Valley. A Casablanca tour from Santiago fills most of a day once you add the drive, tastings and lunch. Our guide to the best wine tours from Santiago compares them.

Which Santiago neighborhood is best?

Lastarria and Bellas Artes suit culture, walkable restaurants and a lively evening. Providencia is a good all-round choice, with a wide mix of hotels, restaurants and metro links. Las Condes suits visitors who want modern hotels in the business district.

Before booking a Casablanca tour, check whether the operator collects from your hotel or asks you to meet at a central point.

Map: Casablanca Valley hotels and nearby coastal bases

The map shows places to stay around Casablanca town and the valley; zoom out to see Valparaíso and Viña del Mar on the coast.

How much does it cost to stay in Casablanca Valley?

Prices depend on the style of property, the season and whether meals or wine visits are included. Casablanca has fewer hotels than Santiago or the coast, so compare the full cost of the stay, not only the room rate.

Accommodation budget guide

These are rough planning ranges and not live quotes; the categories overlap, and prices vary by property and date. Casavino’s published cabin rates, for example, start at CLP 210,000 to 290,000 a night depending on the cabin. When you compare, check whether the rate covers one or two guests, breakfast, meals, tastings, transfers and taxes.

Does a vineyard hotel include wine tasting?

Not necessarily, and this is a common misunderstanding. A vineyard hotel may have rooms overlooking vines and no tasting program. A winery hotel may include tastings in some packages but not in the room-only rate. At La Casona, Matetic sells bed-and-breakfast, half-board and full-board programs with different inclusions; at a cabin such as Casavino, you pay mainly for the private room and the setting. Compare the whole package before deciding which is better value.

Do you need a car to stay in Casablanca Valley?

For most countryside stays, yes, or a private driver. Some wineries sit on Ruta 68 and others down quieter rural roads, and two wineries that look close on a map may have no safe way to walk between them.

Your transport options

To visit several wineries and enjoy the tastings, a driver or organized tour is usually the best use of your money. Chilean law strictly prohibits driving after drinking, winery tastings included. Our page on how to get to the Casablanca Valley from Santiago compares the options.

A question to ask your hotel

Before you confirm, ask: “Can you arrange return transport to two or three wineries, with a restaurant stop?” The answer tells you whether a countryside hotel works for your trip, or whether every winery visit means an expensive last-minute transfer.

How many nights should you spend in Casablanca Valley?

One night: a romantic wine-country escape

One night is enough to enjoy the valley without rushing. Arrive around lunchtime, visit a winery in the afternoon, check in and spend a relaxed evening. The next morning, have breakfast and perhaps visit another winery before going on to Santiago or the coast. It suits couples, road-trippers and anyone who wants the valley after the day-trippers leave.

Two nights: for wine lovers

We would choose two nights for exploring Casablanca properly. You get one full day of winery visits and another for slower activities, local food or the countryside, and more room to fit reservations: if a tasting only runs on one day, you can swap the order. It suits travelers interested in several wineries, photography and food.

Three nights or more: a relaxed holiday

Three nights makes sense if you want to enjoy your hotel as much as the wineries, especially at an estate such as Matetic with walks and activities on site. For most travelers, though, two nights in wine country followed by time in Valparaíso or Viña del Mar gives more variety.

Suggested itineraries: where to stay and what to do

Itinerary 1: a romantic one-night wine escape

Where to stay: Hotel Casavino or Hotel Boutique BCW.

Day 1: leave Santiago in the morning, book a vineyard lunch and an unhurried tasting in the afternoon. Check in and spend the evening at the hotel or on your terrace.

Day 2: a slow breakfast, one more winery, then back to Santiago or on to the coast.

This plan puts a couple of good visits ahead of a long list of tastings.

Itinerary 2: a two-night trip for wine lovers

Where to stay: La Casona at Matetic or a Casablanca countryside hotel.

Day 1: arrive from Santiago, check in and settle in, with a planned tasting or dinner at the hotel.

Day 2: a full day of wineries. Veramonte and Emiliana make a good pair, followed by a third estate or a vineyard lunch; see our Veramonte winery guide and Emiliana winery guide.

Day 3: breakfast and a final tasting or countryside activity before going on to Valparaíso or Viña del Mar.

If you stay at Matetic, plan around the estate’s own activities and allow driving time to the Casablanca wineries.

Itinerary 3: coast and wine country in three nights

Where to stay: Valparaíso or Viña del Mar.

Day 1: arrive on the coast and explore Valparaíso’s hills or Viña del Mar’s beaches.

Day 2: a prebooked full-day Casablanca wine tour with two or three wineries and lunch.

Day 3: the coast, its restaurants and a day without driving.

Day 4: back to Santiago or on through Chile.

This suits travelers who want wine and a wider taste of the region.

Best time of year to stay overnight

Casablanca’s coast-cooled climate differs from Chile’s warmer inland valleys. Summers bring warm afternoons with cool mornings and evenings; winter is cooler and wetter.

Our favorite months

March and April suit travelers interested in winemaking: harvest timing varies by grape and vintage, but this is one of the liveliest times in Chilean wine country. October and November combine spring scenery with milder weather. For the pool or an outdoor terrace, December to February is the better choice. Book early for harvest, public holidays, summer weekends and winery events.

Practical tips for booking vineyard accommodation

A few checks save disappointment, especially at small rural properties.

Confirm the exact location. The Casablanca Valley, the Rosario Valley and the wider wine region are connected but not the same. Check the property against the wineries you want to visit.

Book dinner ahead. A country hotel does not always have a restaurant open every evening. Ask whether dinner is served and whether you need to reserve.

Check heating and air conditioning. Cool evenings make heating important outside summer, and warm afternoons make air conditioning welcome.

Ask about transfers before booking. A hotel that offers winery visits does not necessarily include transport.

Check the minimum stay. Some cabins and small hotels require two nights at weekends or on peak dates.

Read the cancellation terms. Small properties often have stricter cancellation or prepayment rules than large hotels.

Ask about tax for foreign visitors. Chile’s VAT exemption for eligible foreign tourists depends on the type of accommodation, your documents and how you pay. Ask the property whether it applies to your booking instead of assuming the rate is tax-free.

Plan dinner after tasting. Driving to a restaurant after a tasting undoes one of the main reasons to stay over. A hotel with its own dining or prearranged evening transport can be worth paying more for.

Frequently asked questions

Can you stay at a winery in Casablanca Valley?

Yes, though true winery accommodation is limited. La Casona at Matetic Vineyards, in the neighboring Rosario Valley, is the clearest example. Other properties offer vineyard views or countryside rooms without running a winery.

What is the best vineyard hotel near Casablanca Valley?

For a stay with tastings, estate activities and a restaurant, La Casona at Matetic Vineyards. For a private romantic cabin, Hotel Casavino.

Is there luxury accommodation in Casablanca Valley?

Yes: boutique country hotels, upscale vineyard lodging and private cabins with hot tubs. Compare La Casona at Matetic and Hotel Boutique BCW.

Is Casablanca Valley expensive to stay in?

It can be, especially for boutique cabins and wine-estate hotels, and there are fewer budget choices than in Santiago or Valparaíso. To keep costs down, stay on the coast or in Santiago and take a day tour.

Should I stay in Casablanca or Valparaíso?

Casablanca for countryside quiet and wineries; Valparaíso for architecture, restaurants, culture and a livelier evening. Choose by whether wine or wider sightseeing comes first.

Can you visit Casablanca Valley without staying overnight?

Yes. Casablanca is one of the easiest wine regions to visit on a day trip from Santiago, Valparaíso or Viña del Mar. A night there is a pleasure but never a requirement.

Is Casablanca Valley good for couples?

Yes. The vineyard scenery, tastings, country restaurants and small hotels suit a romantic weekend; Casavino and La Casona at Matetic are the obvious choices.

Are there family-friendly hotels in Casablanca Valley?

Yes, but not every property takes children. Casa Macaire offers a large guesthouse and Hotel Boutique BCW lists family rooms, while Hotel Casavino takes couples only because of its elevated cabins. Check occupancy and safety rules before booking.

Do Casablanca Valley wineries have restaurants?

Several do, but not all have a full restaurant or open it every day. Casas del Bosque is the best-known food-and-wine stop, with more than one restaurant. Book ahead; our guide to Casablanca Valley winery restaurants lists the options.

Can you stay at Casas del Bosque winery?

Its published visitor offer covers tastings and restaurants but no hotel. Plan to stay nearby unless the winery confirms an overnight option.

Can you stay at Emiliana or Veramonte winery?

Neither lists guest rooms in its visitor information. Treat both as winery visits and sleep elsewhere.

How far is Casablanca Valley from Santiago Airport?

It depends on the hotel. Many central Casablanca properties are roughly 60 to 100 minutes from Santiago’s Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport by road in light traffic. Allow extra time for arrival formalities, traffic and rural access roads.

How far in advance should I book accommodation?

On ordinary weekdays you can often book late. For harvest, holidays, weekends and small luxury properties with only a few rooms, book several weeks or months ahead.

How many nights is enough?

One night for a romantic escape, two for an unhurried tasting trip, three or more if you also want to enjoy the hotel, the countryside and the coast.

Choosing your base in Casablanca Valley

The best place to stay depends on the trip you want. For a full vineyard stay with tastings and dining, book La Casona at Matetic. For a private romantic retreat, Hotel Casavino has the views, the cabins and the hot tubs. For boutique comfort with a spa, choose Hotel Boutique BCW. If you want wine country and a city, base yourself in Valparaíso or Viña del Mar.

Our favorite way to see the region is one night in the countryside, two wineries without rushing and time to enjoy the landscape between tastings. To choose the wineries, start with the best Casablanca Valley wineries, then check hotel availability for your dates, because the small properties fill first.
