On a quick google search, Second home comes up as number one bed and breakfast in Lima. Chimu Adventures investigated there is a lot more to this stately residence than meets the eye.

Second Home is located in the bohemian neighbourhood of Barranco, around 5 – 10 minutes from the tourist centre of Miraflores. Barranco lies on the coast, and amongst glittering new residential developments, some colonial homes such as this gem still make their mark.

To the owners, this residence “embodies the spirit of Peruvian culture combined with the tranquility of the Pacific. This majestic
guesthouse with five bedrooms/baths is nestled conveniently
in the heart of Barranco, Lima’s arts district”

The home is the current residence of world renowned Peruvian painter and sculptor Victor Delfin. Victor’s work can be found throughout the hotel, in the grounds and in the rooms. It is a truly unique property and a charming haven to stay to avoid the bustle of Lima. Delfin’s workshop is also on the grounds and a visit gives a facsinating insight into the work of this remarkable man.

Second Home Peru is one of Chimu Adventures’ most unique properties, and is highly reccomended for a short, or a long stay in the city.
