The Maipo valley has dozens of wineries offering interesting (but expensive) tasting opportunities but apparently no hotels. It seems that they rely on the hotels in Santiago to accommodate their visitors.
As a result we carried on to Casablanca – the next valley north where we were recommended to a 'very comfortable' hotel.
After a little navigation practice and instructions from three petrol attendants, we finally saw the sign and pulled into the parking space by the reception office – thought it a little strange that each room had a private space in front with a gate so that the cars could not be seen.
All became clear when I approached the owner to ask for our standard 'habitacion matrimonial con bano privado' to be told that the rooms were available for 4 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours but that she couldn't quote me a rate for 24!
Luckily, the entrance to the place we were looking for was 50 metres further along the road and it had pool, spa, hot tubs, and restaurant – and they rented their rooms by the day.
