“When you read as much travel writing as we do, you come across the expressions ‘nestled’ and ‘tucked away’ a little too often. But much as we hate to resort to clich\u00e9, when you find yourself in a pretty little spot surrounded by gorgeous greenery and hemmed in by towering mountains, you can’t help but feel – well, tucked away. There’s a special feeling you get from the closed-in, tranquil, natural setting of a beautiful valley, whether it’s a laidback riverside setting in Portugal or a mystical, ancient landscape in the Andes. Join our panel of globetrotters for their selection of hotels in beautiful valleys.<\/p>\n

Melissa Wasi, Pisac, Peru<\/strong>
——————————<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chosen by:<\/strong> Nora from the Professional Hobo<\/a><\/p>\n

“Melissa Wasi<\/a> is nestled in the Sacred Valley of Peru, a 10-minute walk outside the town of Pisac, which hosts a great daily artisan market and some excellent restaurants (Peruvian and international). The view is incredible, the ambience quiet, and the people kind.”<\/p>\n

The Cambrian, Adelboden, Switzerland<\/strong>
—————————————–<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chosen by:<\/strong> Megan from Mapping Megan<\/a><\/p>\n

“Situated amid the pristine scenery of the Swiss Alps, The Cambrian<\/a> offers one of the most incredible outlooks in the world, with stunning mountain views in every direction. Guests looking for an incredible experience should head to the hotel’s infinity pool. Soaking in this pool with a view that comes directly from the cover of a travel magazine is an experience that tense desk-huggers the world over spend their days dreaming about.”<\/p>\n

Six Senses Douro Valley, Lamego, Portugal<\/strong>
———————————————-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chosen by:<\/strong> Zara from Backpack ME<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Douro Valley is one of the most important wine regions in Portugal. By the shores of the River Douro, which flows from Spain into Portugal, you’ll find breathtaking scenery. Six Senses Douro Valley<\/a> stands out in this region for offering top-notch accommodation and services in a setting where views of the green rolling hills and the water enhance the experience.”<\/p>\n

Villa Cristina, Vinales, Cuban<\/strong>
———————————–<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chosen by:<\/strong> Turner Barr from AmericanTravelBlogger.com<\/a><\/p>\n

“If you really want to make your trip to Cuba a once-in-a-lifetime, magical experience, popping off into the valley of Vinales in Cuba might be the best decision you make. Tucked between rolling hills, the valley is a major tobacco-growing region, with orchids and palms sprawling across it. At homestay Villa Cristina<\/a> you can start and end your day in a rocking chair on the porch, admiring the lush valley while tobacco farmers roll through town in their oxcarts. Villas like this are the perfect way to experience a glimpse of Cuban life as you immerse yourself in a tropical adventure.”<\/p>\n
