9.2/10 Wonderful! (214 reviews)

Outstanding property- 5 stars throughout. The food was excellent, and this was a beautiful launch point for my Mendoza vacation. I stayed in a room inside the vineyard and had a beautiful view every day when I awoke to the Malbec vines. Everything was impeccably maintained, down to each detail, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to even the most discerning of travelers.
