“Absolutely enjoyed our stay! Thank you Joseph 😊”
+The property was located next to a beautiful park and the environment was tranquil and felt safe. Our host Joseph was exceptionally accommodating and considerate. He took us for a drive to familiarise us with the surroundings, shops, restaurants etc. he prepared lovely breakfast and supplied drinking water at no extra charge. He truly was a great host!
−Perhaps the distance from the main landmarks however we didn’t have any issues travelling in taxis and local buses

“Truly a home away from home!”
+If you, like us, always look for authentic, comfortable, safe even a bit quirky lodging off the beaten tourist path, you could not do better than staying in the B&B El Olivar. Joseph, the host, lives in the B&B. It is his home, and he does everything possible to make it feel like your home as well. As others have said, he drives you around the neighborhood and provides excellent recommendations for restaurants, places to visit and how to get around ( sometimes offering to drive us himself to restaurants, etc). Our room was spacious with excellent wifi, comfortable bed, hot water and strong water pressure, along with the toiletries, water and cold drinks provided. Whenever we asked for something additionally, Joseph was quick to provide it ( additional towels, hair dryer, juice for breakfast, etc). Breakfasts were lovely....fresh breads, eggs, fruit and lots of good coffee! We loved walking in the San Isadora neighborhood, especially in the olive grove. A safe, quiet, beautiful setting. We had already stayed in the Miraflores neighborhood of Lima at the beginning of our holiday in Peru, and appreciated the quieter neighborhood in which this B&B is set for the end of our trip. Joseph
−Our only suggestion is to get some new towels, linens and bathmats and a quick carpet cleaning to freshen things up a bit. 😉

“Excellent! Truly excellent! If If could give more than a 10, I would give a 100.”
+I chose B&B El Olivar because of its outstanding reviews, and I can honestly say they exceeded every expectation. I was traveling alone and wanted a place where I would feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. What I found was so much more than that. If I could give more than a 10, I would give a 100. Joseph is an exceptional hostkind, warm, open-hearted, and genuinely caring. On the evening I arrived, he took me for a tour around the neighborhood so I could get familiar with the area. He told me, “This way you will always know where home is.” That simple gesture immediately made me feel at ease. Throughout my stay, Joseph shared stories about Peru, its history, his family, and his own life journey. He has a special gift for making people feel welcome and cared for. Every time I returned after a day of exploring Lima, it felt like coming home. The location is perfect, the rooms are comfortable, and the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. But what truly makes this place special is Joseph. His kindness, generosity, and genuine interest in his guests turn a stay into an experience. I arrived as a guest and left as a friend. Thank you, Joseph, for your hospitality, your stories, your fri

“We felt very welcome and had a great experience.”
+Our host Joseph was very welcoming and helpful. He even took us on a tour of the neighbourhood so we could get orientated. He gave us lots of advice about places to eat and visit. The accommodation was in a great location which was quiet and safe with a beautiful park. It was very clean and had everything we needed.
