Truly a magical place. I had no idea what was leading me to Peru until I arrived, but it was this place. Such beautiful family that attracts wonderful guests. If you're even considering a trip to Peru - book your tickets and book this accommodation.

Before you read further, I'll summarize: BOOK DAVID'S PLACE! You won't regret it. David and his lovely wife are ANGELS. I was coming to them directly from my worst AirBnb experience (complete with food poisoning!) and they practically nursed me back to health, even going to the market to pick up some fresh muña to make me a curative tea upon my arrival. Getting to David's place was a piece of cake with the clear and direct instructions he sent me a few days before. He greeted me at the door and took my bag (I was extremely weak and dehydrated from getting sick all night and morning) and settled me in, making sure I knew where everything was. Everything about the house, from the garden and kitchen to my room was GORGEOUS. Photos don't do it justice. Its truly a little oasis complete with a hot shower, laundry machine, hammocks, and a library full of great books. I thought Calca was by far the nicest little town I visited during my few days in the Sacred Valley - I even extended my stay so I could explore the amazing Museo Inkariy and nearby ruins (both highly recommended!). To top it off, David made me some delicious pancakes the morning of my departure, and he and his family even gave me a ride to the bus terminal in town as I had hurt my leg and was having trouble walking. I hope to come back soon - my brief stay there is one of my most treasured travel memories.

David ist ein toller Gastgeber, ich habe mich sofort Willkommen gefühlt. Mein Zimmer mit privatem Bad war schöner und grösser als Erwartet. Mir gefällt die Kombination von alt und neu, wie der knarrende Holzfussboden mit den modernen Sanitären Anlagen. Von meiner kleinen Veranda geniesse ich einen schönen Blick in die umliegenden Berge. Frühstücken, Mittagessen oder einen Cafe trinken an einem der vielen Sitzplätze im Garten ist Erholung pur. Es summt und brummt von den Bienen und es liegt ein dezenter Jasminduft in der Luft. Ein herrlicher Ort zum relaxen und sich wie zu Hause zu fühlen(URL HIDDEN) Die Umgebung von Calca bietet viele tolle Wanderungen an. Der Ort selber hat einen tollen Markt und auch lokale Restaurants. Mir gefällt das Calca authentisch geblieben ist. Alles ist zu Fuss in kurzer Zeit gut erreichbar(URL HIDDEN) Ein Ort zum länger Verweilen oder um gerne wieder zurückzukommen. :-(URL HIDDEN)

Our stay at David's was exceptional! We had everything we needed and more. . Amazing company, a beautiful space with the most well equiped kitchen, good advice and tasty pears and avocados :) I'd recommend David's place to anyone looking to relax and share great conversation or who wants a good home base to explore the Valley

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to Calca. Nevertheless, I very much appreciated Davids efforts to accommodate me and help me with logistics in Cusco.

Dave and his family made me feel so welcomed into their little oasis in Calca. Their hospitality really made a difference in my stay in the Sacred Valley, whether it was in the form of a friendly game of chess, a nice cup of coffee or a casual conversation in the beautiful gardens that overlook the mountains surrounding Calca. The property is located in a secure location on the edge of Calca easily within walking distance to the main square. The accommodations were comfortable with a private bath and hot shower. They also have a well-stocked communal kitchen that I made ample use of. One thing to make note of is that the wifi connection was spotty in my room, but you can easily go down to the kitchen or gardens if you need to use wifi. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Casa Wilkamayo to anyone passing through the Sacred Valley. The combination of Dave's hospitality, a tranquil environment and proximity to pretty much everything in the Sacred Valley make it a wonderful place to stay. Oh, and ask Dave about the awesome hikes in the area. He pointed out a few to me and I am super grateful he helped me uncover some hidden gems!

I have no words to describe how amazing it was to stay in David's place. It's the best Airbnb house I ever stayed. In 4 months traveling in América Latina, it was the first time I felt like home. David's wife, Mabel is an sweet and careful person, and the 2 kids are lovely. I really indicate this place. Calca is a paredise, lost in the middle of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Machu Pichu and Cusco. It's a calm place, a lovely city, with nice people.

David & Mabel's sanctuary is sure to take your breath away! My husband and I found this place to be our favorite interactive Airbnb experience. David and Mabel live on the property with their two beautiful children and they go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, to share the local hot spots with you as well as their wisdom. Upon arrival Mabel made us a snack to welcome us, David showed us around the property and allowed us to borrow a couple of his books as well. This a spacious place to relax and the amenities are wonderful: a large and equipped kitchen, hot running water for showers, comfortable beds and a cleaner who tidies your room every day. The view and energy of the land is absolutely incredible and the location is close to many trails as well as the local market - but what makes this place truly special is David & Mabel. We will definitely be back to visit this place next year and we highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore Calca and the sacred valley.

Une belle rencontre ! Un lieu calme avec des équipements de qualité. Une hôte attentionnée et gentille

It was very beautiful place to stay. If we could, we would stay there for two more weeks. Thanks guys for everything.

beautiful place in the middle of the nature on the river, very peaceful. the host was extreamly nice to us. the rooms are amzing with a beautiful view from the balcony. the kitchen is well equiped. its 5 minuts walking from the center and we definatly recommend this place!

Beautiful people with nice accommodations. A little far from town but great for hiking and experiencing the outdoors. The family does have 3 dogs that are a little loud and territorial. The cancellation policy says flexible but after canceling one night we were unable to get our money back and instead received (beautiful) personal artwork. Overall nice place to stay if you love dogs and enjoy a great location for hiking.

We stayed a week at Jimbo's place. The nature & surroundings are beautiful. Lots of things to see & do in the area. Jimbo & his family are very nice & helpful. The place is sweet. The outside-kitchen area is quite basic & small. For 2 people it's alright. For sharing it's a bit too small, since there is just one table. The only thing which was a little disturbing were the 3 dogs who were barking a lot. Otherwise we enjoyed our last very relaxing days of our long Latinamerica-trip there...

Der Aufenthalt bei Jimbo und Mares ist traumhaft schön gewesen. Wenn man etwas raus aus dem touristischen Trubel will und dafür Entspannung und super freundliche Menschen sucht ist man hier richtig. Jimbo und Mares können bei Bedarf auch mit einer wundervollen Sound Healing Massage den Aufenthalt noch schöner gestalten. Absolut empfehlenswerte Hosts. Ich komme sehr gerne wieder!

What a treat to end my trip at Jimbo and Mares' house! They seem to have found the secret to a happy life and have let me be part of it. Jimbo came to pick me up from the plaza and then showed me all the instruments and art pieces that he has made with his wife or collected throughout the years. (He plays all of them.) I also got to play some djembe with them and their friend/third band member Yemo (who is also an impressively multitalented musician/singer/writer/and more as well as a beautiful human being). We cooked and ate delicious vegetarian food together. I enjoyed every moment of my peaceful walks around the village, the mountains, by the river and the creeks. Along the way, I met some local characters and drank some chicha. In addition to their musical talents, Jimbo and Mares also offer workshops and sound healing sessions for which I will definitely come back in the future. I did not want to leave the house and I feel deeply grateful for having the chance to be around such loving, warm, playful and creative human beings. I will forever remember what it has taught me about living life with heart.

Jimbo and his wife are very kind and helpful in so many ways. If your wanting a relaxing mellow getaway then this is your place. This home is more secluded with a beautiful view of mountains and nature. Don't let the secludedness stir you away as there is easy access and many Tut tut taxi that will take you into town for under 2 solos. You'll get to experience Jimbo and his great music and his family spiritual vibes. The 2 story room is cute and comfortable. I'm not sure if the sheets were fresh but other than that it was a good stay and would recommend it.

Jimbo and Mares are excellent hosts, they were very accommodating and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed our stay with several music jams and pizza night! Mares is a master clay artist, she gave us pottery classes and I made a pre Columbus water instrument. We also met some cool people that were staying there as well. It was very nice to have a place to cook after eating out for over a month. Their house is a nice place to rest and relax. They also offer some tours to the local Mountain Apu pitusiray and other mystical sites off the tourist path.

great energy in a very tranquil space on the sacred Valley. excellent r&r opportunity for me and my boyfriend..... accommodations are simple.... comfortable. "luxury camping" is how I will describe it. very serene atmosphere and tranquil family.

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt in diesem Haus, es ist sehr geräumig und gemütlich. Die Betten sind sehr bequem und kuschelig. Der Garten wunderschön, gepflegt und voller Blumen. Eine wohltuende Ruhe umgibt das Haus. Wir begegneten vielen sehr freundlichen Personen aus der Nachbarschaft und auch im Ort und fühlten uns sehr sicher. Hermann war immer hilfsbereit, freundlich und überaus sympathisch. Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub.

What a great experience staying in Calca! The house is modern, clean, and well appointed and sits on a quiet end street. It is close to several small tiendas to grab water, sodas, or beer and a short walk from the plazas to go to larger tiendas. You can also easily walk to the main market and the main transportation station. Beds are comfy and warm and the hot water was great. The garden is cozy and extremely tranquil. Hermann was a great host and the onsite caretaker is a friendly fellow and I recommend it if you have time in Calca. Note: there is great hiking nearby but you should get a guide. Ask Hermann to put you in touch with Rafael at Ouachuman. Rafe is a fantastic and knowledge guide.

A group of 11 of us stayed over a long weekend... and had a fantastic time. The house is nicely located on the edge of Calca with an impressive set of mountains as its backdrop. Hermann is easy-going and friendly and we had no problems at all whilst we were staying there. The garden is beautifully kept and the balcony makes for a particularly good spot to relax.

Wonderful host, very attentive and resolved issues immediately as they arrised. Great garden with beautiful panoramic mountain views. The neighbourhood is very peaceful and safe. As we are freelancers, stable internet connection made us very happy! Highly recommend the house and the host! Would be very happy to come back!

The house was beautiful with wonderful views. Hermann was there to meet us. Paulina was always available and very helpful when we needed her. One morning we didn't have any water but Hermann rectified that quickly. The toilets run so you always have to check those after you flush or the water tank for the house will empty. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Whenever we needed Hermann to get us a driver he always responded promptly. Two restaurants Hermann reccommended never opened for the 5 nights we were there, so I can't comment on them. We always walked to the Plaza de Armas for dinner which was always chicken because there wasn't a lot of choice. There is a small grocery store there also. The square is about a 10-15 min walk from the house. We very often ate grilled chicken and beef on a stick for 1 sole each. A quarter chicken dinner with fries and soup was 13 - 14 soles. We really enjoyed our stay there.

My Family and I enjoyed once again the visit of the sacred valley, staying at Hermann's house suited us perfectly and Hermann was able to help us with transport, meals, visits, etc...we very much appreciated his hospitality and friendliness. We will certainly be back to his house to continue the visit of the Sacred Valley!

The house is in a great location on the edge of Calca village. The garden is lovely and the views of the mountains really good. The design and décor of the building are excellent and we really enjoyed our 4 nights at the house. The showers and internet could both be a bit temperamental but this was not a real issue for us. Overall, I would recommend the property to larger groups who are looking for somewhere tranquil and comfortable.

Hermann was very nice and responsive to any questions I had. The house was absolutely beautiful and the gardens outside were breathtaking. I really enjoyed staying there and it was close to the main town square, therefore easy to find transportation, food and markets to shop.

El lugar tenia mucho espacio abierto. Cama saltarina, juegos para niños, un espacio para hacer fogata con vista al río. cochera. La señora Milagros que nos recibió fue muy amable y nos brindó orientación. También nos facilitó la preparación de alimentos desayuno cena por un costo adicional. Una rica sazón. Ella y su familia fueron muy amables he hicieron de nuestra estadía en Calca una bonita experiencia. Respecto a la casa en general bien, con algunas cosas que mejorar.

El lugar es muy bonito, está situado a 5 minutos de la plaza principal de Calca. Todo concuerda con la descripción de la casa. Una casa muy bonita, espaciosa y muy cómoda. El espacio es amplio y muy limpio. Es un espacio ideal para descansar y disfrutar en familia, amigos o simplemente para ir en pareja. Para nosotros fue ideal pues íbamos en familia y con un perrito y esto para nosotros era muy importante durante las las vacaciones siempre consideramos un espacio en el que podamos llegar con nuestra mascota. La dueña, Mariana, siempre fue atenta, solidaria, profesional y amable. Hizo que nos sintiéramos cómo en casa y esto es lo que más rescatamos! Recomiendo mucho este lugar y personalmente estaré regresando muy pronto! Gracias por todo y buen camino!

Cesar fue un buen anfitrión, estuvo presto a solucionar nuestras observaciones La casa queda dentro de un condominio lindo con un jardín grandote y la casa tiene 2 jardines bellos ideal para hacer parrilla, tomar sol y disfrutar!!! Las fotos no le hacen justicia, es linda para salir de la ciudad.

Excelente (URL HIDDEN) Casa Super Comoda...el Personal de Atencion de Primwra super amables y siempre con una sonrisa en la (URL HIDDEN) ubicacion y el setting del Condominio tambien excelentes.
