Casa Verde B&B

Gorgeous b&b in Sucre. Beautiful building, hardworking staff who can't do enough for you. Lovely patio area and covered pool to relax in or out of the sun. Can't recommend this b&b enough it has everything you need for a great stay whilst in Sucre

We stayed here 4 nights during a period of travel in South America. So far it's the best place we've stayed in and half the reason we spent so long in Sucre. The hotel itself is very clean with nice communial areas, including a swimming pool and PCs to use, as well as WIFI. There is also a kitchen that the owner was happy for me to use on several occassions. The rooms themselves are homely with really comfortable beds (a rare luxury in South America!) and hot showers. The owner Rene is extremely helpful and was happy to offer advice on where to go in Sucre and provided maps for us to use. I would recommend for anyone to stay here.

Sucre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a virtue of the Casa Verde is its fidelity to the city’s colonial past — it has resisted temptations to the pursuit of luxury through unwarranted modernization. Yes, it has excellent Wi-Fi, which extends to the nicely planted courtyard patio (with a small swimming pool!), and the water in the smallish bathroom runs hot when you need it, but by and large the visitor is embraced by an ethos of sufficiency rather than excess. What the guest most appreciates about the premium Casa Verde places on sufficiency is in the room rate. For my room, which could sleep four (there was an upper-level loft with two twin beds), I paid 200 Bolivianos (US $28) a night. These were the prices I came to Bolivia for! Breakfast is served communally, at two long tables in the simple breakfast room. No fancy espresso coffees (which must have particularly disappointed the Italians who were the majority of guests during my 3-night August stay), but intensely brewed Bolivian beans made for sufficient wake-up before each day’s exploration. Casa Verde is located some four blocks “up” town from the central square of Sucre, so it is well within walking distance of nearly all the important sights and relevant restaurants in town.

The location is great - and they had some of the comfiest beds in Bolivia. Friendly, helpful staff. Heaters in the room. Breakfast was fine. Nice courtyard to sit in. They do ONLY take payment in BOB cash - no credit card. They do not do laundry - but the neighboring B&B does.
