OCIO Territorial Hotel

We stayed here the last two nights and I can only recommend this place! It lies on the hills of the peninsula Rilan with a perfect view of Castro that lies on the other side of the sea! We had a standard room which is a super nice cottage, warm and cost with a perfect big window view - sleepy nights garantiere. Dinner was wonderful as was breakfast - especially the fruit platter! But the best was the top friendlyy service of all people here! Always there for you to help you with whatever you might need. |We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful hotel and extremely friendly staff . Within a natural forest , we stayed here longer than we had planed as it is so relaxing . The dinning room is gorgeous. Our room had its private balcony within the trees canopies . All the ladies at the front desk are very sweet and helpful. Strongly recommend.

We stayed for 4 nights, 2 nights in room 12 and 2 in Bosque. Although Bosque is the larger room (suite) with a bit more privacy, we really liked room 12 which is at the end of the row of rooms on a corner. It’s a bit easier to keep warm and the bathroom has a door in the shower stall. A coffee maker in the room (which was in Bosque) would have been a nice addition. Both rooms are very clean and quit with a very comfortable bed. Furnishing in wood gives it a clean country feel. The rooms have a fantastic view over the forest, water and onto Castro. The location of OCIO is about 25 minutes outside Castro. The last part of the drive, maybe 10 minutes, is on a dirt road, doable with a regular car but a SUV makes it a bit easier. The location makes it very quiet but there are no shops or restaurants in the direct vicinity. The hotel restaurant is very good. It has a nice selection of seafood dishes that are well prepared. The pulpo is highly recommended. Breakfast is a buffet, with a good selection of bread, cheese, cereal, and egged made to order. Service is very personal and efficient, and several members of the staff speak English. We had a really good stay and would visit again if we’re on Chiloe island.

This is an absolutely phantastic place which by far exceeded our expectations. It has a great view over the Casto bay and onto the small town of Castro at a distance. We loved the beautiful trails within the very large nature area which belongs to the hotel and which provides access to the beach. The beach itself allows for long hikes. Lots of wild birds to observe, and the hotel has sheep, chicken roaming on the grazing area. The restaurant is excellent.

We spent 5 nights in a suite overlooking Castro. We would have breakfast and then would be gone for the day. My general feeling is that the hotel is not as "luxurious" as advertised, or perhaps it used to be. For example, when walking to/from our suite we had to be careful not to step in animal feces on the grass path. Granted, we were staying in a natural environment, which was part of the attraction, but you couldn't look around at the beautiful environment if you had to watch your feet. All they had to do was clean the pathway from time to time. The breakfasts were good, but only adequate for the price we were paying for the suite. We had dinner only the first night; they didn't seem to have enough customers to justify having a first-rate chef. Our suite was magnificent if a little worn. There was a water leak under the sink (we should have reported it, but didn't) - anyway I'm just using it as an example of wear and tear. The bathroom was huge but could have used a few more places to hang clothes. The bedroom had a throw rug with an extremely high pile - which to us seemed unsanitary. I wish we had rolled it up and put it aside as another reviewer suggested. We took a walk down to the water and it was an ordeal - the path was not well maintained. We made it OK, but it was clear that it was not well-travelled. When we left the hotel each day, at the top of the dirt road, at the T-intersection, our car tires would spin out because of the steepness. The short steep section of the gravel road should be paved - another indication that they don't seem to have the resources for proper upkeep. With better maintenance and a better breakfast I would have rated it Excellent. It is not pleasant to be honest at this time when the hospitality industry is suffering. Finally, the staff was very friendly and welcoming - as we found all Chileans to be. So this seems to more a reflection of the country than the hotel. This hotel must have been spectacular when it was new. It still is very good if you enjoy quiet nature.

Outstanding. If you are looking for a luxury retreat far away in a very rural setting, this is ideal. The rooms are lovely. The food is very good, and the service is outstanding. It sits on top of a high ridge with gorgeous views of the bay and the port town of Castro beyond. Rent a car and explore the island of Chiloe for a few days - there is lots to explore in these little towns and the nature preserves. Penguins too!

What a special place. Beautiful grounds, wonderful restaurant, fantastic rooms, friendly staff. Loved all the sheep, chicken, ducks that are all around and walking through the meadows to the beach. We went kayaking with the owner, and learned he built most of Ocio himself! We heartily recommend a visit here.

Visited the area at the end of summer....so little rain interruption. A boutique hotel nestled into a hillside forest. Rustic reception, dining and casual areas with modern capabilities. Unobstructed views of the bay and town. Walk along natural paths to stand-alone cabin/rooms. Each cabin is spacious and has views of the bay from each room and a private deck. The wonderful hosts arranged a guided boat tour of the bay. We walked down a path to the bay’s edge to board the board. In the evening, the hotel provided a wonderful fresh seafood buffet in a rustic house halfway down the hill towards the bay. Perfect for families or business offsite gatherings (have cabins set up for meetings). The staff are over-the-top attentive.
