Maison Fortaleza is located in a central, charming part of Cusco. The hotel feels very authentic and tasteful.

Don't read here, we said, just book it without second thought.

Don't look for another place in Cuzco, you'll just loose time. Fortalezza is worth the climb (ask the taxi for San cristobal and walk down 30m, easy peasy). Jean-Claude and Ita are fantastic hosts and their home is just perfect. Comfort, spotless rooms, flexibility, all day hot drinks, hot water and heating, all you can dream. Options not far away for food, and short wlak down to get to the city center. You will have to clib back of coruse, but once again, largely worth the effort. Be friendly and open for discussion, exchange and not just consumers clients, and your stay will be even more great. Thanks for all, rare pleasure to find such place !

Maison Fortaleza truly is one of the best places to stay in Cusco: The rooms with their wooden floor are bright and clean, the location is close-by to all the places you’d want to go in cusco (from the top of the guesthouse thats on top of a little hill you have a beautiful view) and the hospitality gave us a feeling of coming home abroad from home. The rooms have a heater and cozy bed, the shower is always hot (which was not for granted in some other places) and there is a little woodfire oven in the community room which is very cozy. As others wrote in their reviews here - we had the feeling of visiting friends instead of staying at a hotel from the beginning and actually became friends with the hosts Itala and Jean-Claude during our stay who always supported us when we needed help and advice on our hikes, daytrips etc.. :) We extended our stay twice and really enjoyed the hospitality and the beautiful room. thanks again!

Nothing! As others have mentioned it is at the top of San Blas but the walk is no problem if you are acclimatised and it means there are fantastic views!

Everything! Amazing comfortable bed, consistent hot showers and water, natural light and warm in the room (a novelty in Cusco!). was wonderful to return from the Inca trail to stay at Maison Fortaleza! Laundry available from a local lady across the street. Breakfast was great (adjusted for vegans) with fresh bread, juice, jam and speciality teas! Drinking water and hot water for mate de coca and tea available all day. The property is very cosy and feels like home, and in addition Itala and her husband are super accommodating, very friendly and helpful! We stayed twice and would come back anytime we are in Cusco!

all was just amazing

great gem of a place, beautiful rooms, amazing hot shower, comfortable beds, but the best of all is the host Itala. I felt like staying with a friend instead of a hotel. the location is in my favourite spot too!

price per night did not included a breakfast but for $7.50 per person extra a day we had good healthy breakfast every morning. The location of the hotel in the old city is with breathtaking views, just 15 min walk from Sacsayhuamán and 5 min down the street to the Cuzco main historic square. (to go up takes longer, of course, in the Cuzco elevation but it is great exercise). The room was big and cozy with wood floor, wood shutters and original wood beams on the vaulted ceiling. No flat TV screens are disturbing the sensitive restoration of the interior and architectural design of the historic house. The fire in the wood stove in the sitting area during the June cold Cuzco nights was welcoming us home every evening. The owner is also travel guide and always advised us how to plan our day trips to archeological sites around Cuzco. The cleanliness is the high priority of the establishment.

A bit of a walk uphill to reach the accommodation. A bit cold in the room but as I said the host is wonderful and she provided an electric heater when the gas was shot off.

The staff was really nice and helpful, provided everything we needed, they even helped us book a trip to Laguna Humantay on the very last minute (tour which was fantastic). The room was spacious and comfortable.

All was great.

Excellent location. Anita the host is so lovely and welcoming. Great room, bed and shower!

Everything was absolutely wonderful.

Maison Fortaleza was the best place we chose to stay in Peru all due to the generous nature of Itala, our hostess, and the genuine and lovely conversations we had with her. It was like staying in her home. The facilities were super clean, the space was really lovely and inspiring, and it is so close to a beautiful iconic block that is super picturesque. Will definitely stay at Maison Fortaleza again next time we come back.

Likely the best place you can stay in Cusco, rooms cosy and spotless clean. Itala, the host, is really helpful.

Italia was super helpful and knowledgeable! This was without doubt the best accomodation we had in Perú. Great rooms. Close to everything.
