Frommer's Review
Lodged in the hills of the traditional neighborhood San Blas, Casa de Campo means "country house," and the air up here, high above Cusco, has the freshness of country air. An organic complex, its chalet-style rooms appear to have sprouted one from the other. A friendly and comfortable place, it's nonetheless not for everyone, especially not those who are tired of climbing the steps of Inca ruins. The climb up to the hotel is taxing enough, but once inside the gate, guests must use their remaining reserves to amble up several more flights of stone steps.
Once there, though, you're rewarded with nice gardens and several terraces with unparalleled sweeping views of the city and surrounding mountains, as well as a cozy lounge with a large fireplace. Rooms are rather small, but they have good, firm beds and are rustically decorated, with exposed wood beams and thick wool blankets. (It's generally considerably cooler up here than just 15 min. down in Cusco.) One special room has a fireplace (for the same price as a regular room); another is like a cottage towering above the city. All rooms have 24-hour hot water. The staff will build a fire in the bar on request and arrange a free city tour in Cusco. The owners also operate the Amauta Spanish-language school and Tertulia travel agency, as well as a new, rustic hotel in Urubamba in the Sacred Valley.
