Majoro Share

Hotel Majoro, a single floor hotel, was built in the 19th Century as an Augustine convent

In the early 20s it was sold to Enrique Fraccia, a prominent Italian merchant, the exclusive representative of the Peruvian Steam Navigation Company

Mr

Fraccia also bought 100 hectares of land and was very successful with his Pima cotton plantation

The Hacienda was inherited by his nephew Enrique De La Borda Roncaggiolo

In 1968, during the military junta, the land was expropriated and given to the workers

Fortunately the De La Borda family was allowed to keep the Casa Hacienda and 10 hectares of land

Being impossible to keep the cotton business running in an effective way, his descendants in 1980 decided to modify the premises and transform the into a 38 room friendly family hotel

In 2005 they sold the property and a new administration took over the business and since then the hotel has been going through constant innovations

Many areas of the old Hacienda that had fallen into ruins after the 1996 earthquake have been rebuilt, respecting the original architecture, and a as a result, the hotel has now 88 rooms, including Suites, Junior Suites, Quadruple, Triple, Double and Single rooms, including two rooms for disabled guests

There is also a reading room, playroom, TV room and a main drawing room

There is also a large dining room and an outside bar close to the swimming pool

There is a chapel and a conference room

The 5 acre garden holds a large variety of plants, including bougainvilleas that are over 100 years old

There is a planetarium, where, in a virtual way, the theory of Maria Reiche that relate the Nazca lines with the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere, are shown

After the presentation the Nazca sky can be scrutinised with large telescopes

The hotel has also got its own production of Pisco, the Peruvian National Spirit

In our cellar, guests can appreciate how the Pisco is made in our copper still
