Are children welcome?

Children aged 12 and above are welcome at Hotel Casa Real at Viña Santa Rita. The property is a small historic mansion with a calm, residential atmosphere, so it is best suited to older children who can appreciate the peaceful setting. The hotel does not provide cots or additional beds, and all guests must use existing bedding. Families travelling with teenagers often enjoy the spacious grounds, gardens and nearby cultural attractions, although the overall ambience remains quiet and refined rather than family-focused.

Why we love Casa Real

The heritage of this property really stands out. The restoration of the property in the late 90’s was immaculate with the frescoes in the chapel repaired by the team who had worked on the Sistine Chapel. It really is a stunning location.
