Some excerpts from the website of Hostal Genross that might be useful
Vina del Mar has a privileged mediterranean climate that is one of only 5 zones in the world with these conditions. Other areas with similar are southern California and southern France. Together with these exceptional weather, Vina is perfectly centered geographically with affordable access in public transportation to Santiago (1,5 hours drive) or the southern lake district or the dry mineral rich north. The Andes are within 2 hours drive in car or bus. And of course the prolonged sea cost is at our immediate reach along with its abundant variety of sea food. One feature that has been kept a secret is that Vinas has approximately 5 excellent
golf courses within 1,5 hours drive ranging in cost from 15 to 50 dollars per day. To mention is the fact that the courses are practically free of golfers outside the summer month Jan and Feb.
Tennis is also played on clay courts. Vina has theatre,
Casino, refined
restaurants, winery
tours, or
tours to other seaside resorts such Zapallar. The
ski area of Portillo is 2 hours by car. Our most important attraction is in our opinion Valparaiso, our sister city, with over 400 years of history and which has been compared to Lisbon or Tangiers.
