A titanium roof above a vineyard. Below it, glass. Around it, the valley, the Andes and the quiet they bring.
Millahue is a valley of vines between the coastal range and the Andes. On its highest hill a single roof of titanium and bronze rests on glass, and under it the house opens on a patio with a Zen garden. The living room holds paintings by Roberto Matta and a diptych from Anselm Kiefer's series The secret life of plants. Below, in the vineyard, Smiljan Radić's winery lies in a sheet of water.
The roomsNo two rooms are alike. Each of the twenty-two was given to an artist and answers the valley in its own way: in colour, in material, in what you see when you wake. The fifteen glass bungalows stand among the trees on the hillside, open to the valley and the Andes beyond.
Choose a room under the floating roof, or a bungalow on the hill. Tell us what you want to wake up to.

Wine spa
Treatments built on the grape, in a spa designed to give your energy back: aromas, textures and sound, and a bath that faces the valley.
The wine spa
Milla Milla
A glass-walled restaurant with the cellar beneath it and the whole valley in front. The kitchen cooks with what the land around the house gives that week.
The restaurant
The winery
Smiljan Radić's winery lies under the hill like a white wing, a plaza of running water in front of it. Below: 327 hectares of vines in twelve valleys, harvested by hand, fermented without added yeasts, aged in French oak. Walk it, then taste VIK, La Piu Belle and Milla Cala in the cellar, by the wall Eduardo Cardozo painted.
The winery
The reserve
Horseback through the vines, trails for birdwatching, bike rides that climb. 4,450 hectares, and nobody else on them.
Plan a dayBookable online, for hotel guests. Winery tastings every day at 10:00 and 12:00, for guests aged 18 and over unless booked privately.
The roof is one floating structure of titanium and bronze, held above glass. Inside, the collection is part of the building: a Matta in the living room, a Kiefer diptych in the lounge, a different artist in every one of the twenty-two rooms. The roof itself is by Marcelo Daglio.
Below the hill, Smiljan Radić's winery sits in a sheet of water that cools the cellar and mirrors the sky.
Art is part of the architecture at Vik. You arrive under the roof, cross the Zen garden, and only then see the valley.
