“Miss Ayako at Casa Malqui cooked wonderful meals directly from the local gardens and was attentive to all of our needs.”

“Cassa Malqui in Leimebamba was our favourite accommodation, by far. This is basically paradise on earth: Ayako has created a beautiful haven.

Amazing food and hospitality which was second to none. I have never been anywhere that made me feel so welcome and cared for.

We regularly think about our 4 nights there.”

“The most charming [hotel] was Casa Mallqui - where Ayako treated us like family visitors to a private home and fed us delicious meals with home-grown produce and home-baked bread.”

“Casa Mallqui won on all fronts. Situated next to the mummy museum, it felt like a real once-in-a-lifetime spot to stay.

The rooms were really lovely, with beautiful views. Quiet grounds, with gorgeous flowers.

Ayako, the innkeeper, tended to our every need with grace and care. The food cooked by her was the best we had by far on our entire trip. ”

“Casa Mallqui was very nice. We loved the location and the service — also met some interesting Japanese travelers there.

The museum was very interesting, and the coffee shop on the other side of the road was great.”
