About Vina and Valparaiso
We get a lot of
honeymooners or people on their anniversary at Valparaiso Villa Bed
and Breakfast because it’s a great holiday for a quiet, romantic
beach getaway. But Valpo and Vina are also party towns. Vina del Mar
has the reputation of being the glamourous playground of the rich and
is often referred to the Chilean Riviera. On the flipside, Valparaiso
has its poorer yet equally charming and rustic houses and streets to
explore.
Tours
Here
at Valparaiso Villa we have three tours to mix it with the locals.
| Casablanca Tour |

The beautiful vineyards
in the Casablanca area on the road to Vina Del Mar are an excellent
place for a taste of Chilean wine. If you would like a wineyard tour,
we can arrange for you prior to your arrival.

This
very popular tour starts at dusk and whisks you from the Valparaiso
Villa Bed and Breakfast by horse carriage along the palm tree dotted

the harbour lights. Optional entry to a Salsa dancing lesson at a Salsa
