July, 2006: What a beautiful villa! Even in winter the flowers
bloom. Thanks to Nancy, Toyita and Amaranta for all the help. Be
sure to get a massage and ski at Lagunillas G&D

Sept, 2007: I don't know where to begin with your gorgeous
home/property Puertazul. First, it was the perfect kind of comfort we
needed Toyita made sure everything was ready and everything from cut
flowers to setting the fire was perfect. Such a unique and beautiful
place so beautifully landscaped and situated right on the river. We
actually spent most of our time on the property with a few hikes up
the hills or in to town, but the peace and quiet of the property was
just what we were looking for for our retreat. I could go on and on.
Everything was perfect and in most cases, beyond expectations.


April, 2006: Beautiful fall days here � what a paradise! Enjoyed
wonderful horseback rides,hiked to San Francisco glacier. Thank you
for creating such a comfortable and pleasing environment. J&R, Santa
Cruz, California, USA


Dec, 2006: Our favorite things were hiking the beautiful mountains,
eating delicious food and the lovely people. Don�t miss the lunch at
Santa Rita Winery or dinner at Le Petite France. The hot
tub is a pleasure. Home cooked dinners from Nancy and her fresh baked
bread in the morning are so wonderful. Such a lovely home, with
everything we needed and more!
And what comfortable beds. Gracias

Jan, 2007: I�m nor sure what refugio means in Chilean Spanish. But
Puertazul for us is a Refuge� A retreat into a wecoming luxuriant
garden, comfortable home, the now accustomed sound of rushing water,
time to read, dine, reflect, doze�
We love the fresh morning air, lazy warm afternoons, evening paseos,
flowers, We have used every dish, pot, linen and tool in the kitchen.
We baked, barbecued, sauted, and sauced�.And then there is smiling,
incomparable Toyita, Nancy�s
�best in the world� empanadas and her delicious honey � perfect with
the chilled Montes Sauvignon Blanc, the hot tub and the stars.

Jan, 2007: Puertazul! What a great place to stay. A wonderful place
to relax and enjoy the
pool, hot tub, views, sounds of the river and wonderful gardens.
Nancy is a great cook and very accommodating. Lemon pie � sweet!
Quiche de Verduras delivered fresh, hot & early for breakfast. Also,
the empanadas were scrumptious as well. We made our way to Banos
Colinas and soaked in the salt water hot springs. What a treat,
luxuriating whilst taking in the splendor
of the Andes. Chile � a fabulous place. H&S, BC, Canada

Jan,2007: A wonderful retreat in a beautiful setting! The carefully
tended gardens were a delight - and the fresh flowers in the rooms a
bonus. We all enjoyed the pools and tubs � and comfortable quarters.
