The Sacred Valley area between Cusco and Machu Picchu is a spectacular first stop for those who need time to acclimatize to the altitude. There are also many things to see and do in the area that justify staying here for a few days or even a week. However, there have been very few hotels focused on meeting the demands of those tourists who wish to do more than just transit through the area, so this collection of luxury villas is a welcome addition to the stage.
Urubamba Villas was originally planned as a collection of condos for sale but ended up being developed as a group of units for short-term rental that includes most regular hotel services. You must check in and there is a daily maid service, including the replacement of clean towels and toiletries, but there are no public use facilities such as a central restaurant or a bar.
