Puerto Nativo
Chiloe, Chile
Rooms
Heading up the stairs (in your personal issue of warm woolly socks)
the first thing to grab your attention is the huge, eye-level round
window, framing the spectacular view straight out across the
bay. From here it's just a short step to all the rooms; this is
very much a home, albeit it a large one, and there are 4 guestrooms
in total, all with private baths.
Set under the eaves, there's nothing chintzy or
‘Chesterfield’ about these rooms; instead they present
a cosy combination of wooden beams and beds and natural
fabrics, reminiscent of a Swiss chalet. The wool bedspreads and
warm blankets, dyed with roots and herbs by local craftsmen and
women, are complemented by traditional Chiloe ornaments.
Draught-proof, hessian curtains keep it snug, ceramics by Carmen
and pictures by Marco instil a personal feel, and fresh flowers
provide the finishing touch.
Until recently there was no ‘artificial’ lighting in
the bedrooms, although electricity has now arrived (a little sadly,
some would argue). There’s something rather nice about going
to bed with a candle in hand - and something even nicer
about waking up to glorious views of forests and sea, with the
enticing aroma of home cooking wafting up from below.
