We
have selkected the
exclusive Casa Real Hotel located at the Santa Rita Vineyard.
Since 1996, the old master house belonging to Mr. Domingo Fernández
Concha has been remodeled into the beautiful Viña Santa
Rita's Casa Real Hotel.
The large house, which shows, a Pompeian style, has 16 cozy rooms.
Antique and modern features are in combined harmony to create
this unique hotel. Tear lamps, heaters, pictures, tapestry and
armoires are combined in a contemporary decoration yet not abandoning
a classic style.
Another exceptional find on the property is the Neo-Gothic chapel,
built in 1885 by the French architect Teodoro Burchard located
adjacent to the old master house.
Its presence is due to extreme care and a trip made by one of
the restorers of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel from Florence, Italy,
to restore it. This resulted in ensuring future appreciation of
this historical site for years to come.
A must do is a walk in the vineyard's magnificent 40-hectare
park created in 1882 by Guillermo Renner, a French landscape designer.
Hundred year-old trees of the most diverse varieties - like Chestnut,
Cedar, Olive, Almond, Orange and Lemon - in addition to the largest
bougainvillea of America - dress and perfume this impressive park.
Innumerable statues, some of them of a mythological origin and
others representing the four seasons, accompany the visitor, showing
beauty in every corner of this huge and inspiring garden. The
park is permanently being maintained and cared for by 15 full
time gardeners.
