Accommodation Details
You'll be amazed by the beauty of this classily restored "casona" with it's impressive facilities installed just for you to enjoy your stay in fab Santiago!
Apart from the friendly, relaxed service and terror-on-dirt cleanliness policy, this place prides itself on a fun and funky atmosphere. There are theme nights, wine tastings, social BBQs and movie screenings all to get you talking and enjoying yourself with your fresh-faced travelling peers, and if Spanish isn't your forte book in for some language lessons held right at the hostel!
The whole facility is spacious and sprawling enough for a breezy, relaxed stay - on your own terms. The communal kitchen area is well-equipped to rustle up a tasty, low-budget meal and the common rooms are not only spacious but beautifully decorated, featuring an enormous medieval candle chandelier and larger-than-life fireplace - just perfect for cosy nights during the ski season.
If you manage to wind your way through the maze of vibrant, rich colours, warm wooded décor and high ceilings, you will stumble upon the sparkling outdoor pool just begging you to dive right in. It's easy to spend all day lazing on the large grassed area, sipping cocktails from the poolside bar and being pampered at the beauty salon shacked up just metres from the luscious pool area! They've really thought of everything, this place offers all the basic necessities for a comfy stay so if you've booked only a couple of days, be prepared to still be there weeks later!

No matter whether you're here for the sun or the ski fields, La Casa Roja is perfectly positioned to keep everything convenient!
