PB hotel design editorial

Carved into a steep hillside above the terraced vineyards of Chile's Colchagua Valley, the small lodge that became Clos Apalta Residence grew directly from one of South America's most celebrated wine estates — the Lapostolle family's Clos Apalta winery, whose gravity-fed cellar, designed by French architect Grégoire Charbey and completed in 2004, descends five levels into the volcanic earth below. The residence itself, conceived as an intimate counterpart to that project, holds just six suites distributed across the forested slope in a loose cluster of pavilion-style structures, each with its own pitched roof clad in timber and its own framed view down the valley floor. Inside, the rooms draw warmth from dark hardwood floors, exposed beam-and-rafter ceilings, and simple painted furniture in cream and olive — a palette that echoes the valley's dry-season colours without straining for sophistication. Sheer linen curtains diffuse the Andean light across striped armchairs and campaign-style writing desks, the whole atmosphere closer to a well-appointed estancia than a conventional hotel. The terrace at the heart of the property anchors the experience most clearly: an infinity pool set flush with a cobblestone terrace, wicker chairs grouped around a low teak table, large ceramic vessels catching the last of the evening light, and beyond it all, the valley opening into a wide, hazy panorama framed by the coastal range.

"This property is truly next level. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into someone’s home. The atmosphere is warm and personal, and that feeling carries through the entire stay. The rooms are stunning. We stayed in a Casita, and it was incredibly spacious and thoughtfully designed. It had everything we could possibly need, including a large patio, a separate sitting area, and an outdoor plunge pool that made it feel extra special. The space felt private, comfortable, and easy to relax in. What really sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone we met was exceptional and went above and beyond. They genuinely go out of their way to anticipate your needs and create personalized experiences, from arranging custom itineraries to helping with even the smallest requests. Nothing ever felt forced or transactional. The food was another highlight. Meals are tailored to your preferences, and every dish we had was excellent. The wine selection is also outstanding, and they’re happy to bring out specific vintages if you ask. Can’t recommend this property enough! Loved the experience and would definitely go back."

"Staying at Clos Apalta was the most wonderfully relaxing way to end our stay in Chile. We enjoyed a couple of wine tours, a visit to the museum in Santa Cruz, a cycle ride around the vineyard and walk up in to the hills above the vineyard. The food is amazing, as of course is the wine which is paired with every course. The staff can be contacted via WhatsApp at all times and are very responsive. All in all, the quality of the accommodation, level of service, location and whole experience excellent. We would not hesitate to go back if we had the chance."

"We stayed in Cabernet, and the views and accommodations were superb. The restaurant is excellent, and service there was spot on. Loved our tour of the winery, also. We spent three nights, and they were a relaxing counterpoint to our other incredible stays in Chile which involved a lot of hiking. This stop was rest and bliss."
