Designer Trips Argentina

Rooms were ok but not as nice as the photos from the website. It seems they are the ones from the new building. Basic comfort and restaurant was so-so. Since the hotel is isolated in the forest, no choice but to stay in the hôtel for dinner

The best part of this modern style hotel is its location.

Charming, beautiful hotel, great service and you can also enjoy fantastic massage ! Loved it !!

We had 2 rooms and living room + kitchen upstairs ! Beautiful view on the mountains. Great staff and every night you are invited to some traditional music and glass of wine.

Nice rooms and charming hotel, close from the main square

Was interesting but too short ( only museum and Saint Francisco church) ; could have added one more museum…

food is excellent, and the staff very attentive to my needs. I recommend that they purchase golf carts for those that are older and can't get around. The on-sight activities are fantasic, archery glass, and bikes a plus, horse back riding and the villas are top notch. the cleaning staff are excellent. worth the price.

PROS the food is excellent the full board experience is un matched. when it comes to food. I commend the chief. 5-stars. The room is clean and for a ranch. Activities the best - especially the horseback riding guide - went out of his way to show us monkeys. CONS WIFI needs to be broaden to many lost signals especially if you haven guests that do a lot of writing drive is long and unpleasant. Being kind.

the staff are excellent. the room and balcony, the authenticity of the hotel was my favorite. 1892 built. WOW!!!!!!!!! the charm and character is unsurpassed. I would definitely stay here again.

PROS Excellent. the villa met all my expectations. Clean, beautiful grounds. everything contained on property Food excellent. Servers - Patricia - lovely in our first night evening meal. the ASADO under the stars - AMAZING !!!!! catered our every need. Too much food, we shared with the staff afterwards, so that it would not be wasted. They were so Grateful. Pottery class - Loved it. Personal attention. CONS they should offer more amenities with the villas, I was fortunate enough that I didn't have to pay for a 20 minute bike ride, they comp me on that. but they should provide other amenities within the property.

PROS breakfast service - perfect. spa services - loved it. CONS WIFI - since we are in such a remote town, the service was nonexistent, was difficult to communicate with family

long ride through the mountain terrain, very narrow trails, but amazing to view the Mendoza valley below. Be prepared on dusty trails, and cool weather. Prepare to gallop at some points on the trail.

Had to cancel this experience. It would have been great if....

the Estancia where we stayed was amazing, and having the VIP experience only 2 people in a large ranch that overlooks the wetlands, rain or shine, just the vast beauty of this place sets it apart. The wildlife....in AWE.

Marcos, was a great. And to see him again, after last years wine tasting and he remembered me. I was taken back that he would remember our talk and asked about my family.

Personal attention on this ride. I truly recommend it.

can't rate this adventure, as we didn't get to experience. due to weather, but we had an alternative by small boat where we managed to see numerous flora and fauna.

From the 1892 Colonial Mission Style hotel, to the town square with all its shopping. I was fortunate enough to see Salta celebrating their Anniversary this day. Parade of Gauchos and China's on traditional attire, dancing through the town of Salta, gauchos yipping and hollering while the crowd watched in awe. Taking pictures at the marvel coming down the street. Our guide Ramiro, knew one of the gauchos and flagged him over to where we were on the steps of the Cathedral and I took a picture with a gaucho. Getting my shoes shined by an old world traditional back in the 40's was a treat. Eating pastel de papa, at an outdoor cafe while a troop of young Salteños matching through the town in uniform and wearing the Salta flag, all ages from 5 to 18. Wow!!!! can't get any perfect than that. Late night shopping, make sure you bring extra luggage to carry it all back with you.

the drive didn't phase me. when you love this country the way I do. the hours fly by and when you have great guide and licensed drivers like KimKim's partners even better. They stop for photo ops and continue on. the Devils Throat, EPIC and to hear Salteños sing the national anthem of Buenos Aires, brought tears to my eyes as their voices filled the cavern. No words.

local town is full of artisans selling their wears. the food is simple but tasty. fall weather in the afternoon is warm and sleepy. and the nights are cool and entertaining. lots to see and do, trekking and to see the Cerro las Senoritas and behold the beauty that the multi color limestone mountains show is breathtaking. can say enough of my experiences here in the land of wonder.

Lot's of tourists, and super hot when the sun beats down on the salt flats. But a sight to behold, on how they mine the salts from this volcanic paradise. Make sure you take protection and drink plenty of water the elevation is brutal to those that push themselves too hard in this valley. you reach height of approx. 4200km back to 2500km within hours, so try to have fun without the expense of pushing your body to hard, slow and easy wins the race.

Very nice hotel at the beginning of town. It’s a small mountain town so no frills but we weee very happy with our accommodations. Each morning they had a nice breakfast to get you ready for your adventurous day. The staff was all very helpful and nice.

Really nice location in Palermo away from the business of the city. Plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. The staff was all very nice, professional, and accommodating. We left something in the room and the team notified us immediately to let us know. Very happy with this hotel.

Beautiful accommodations at the far end of the main town. Wonderful staff, and very nice rooms. Breakfast included each morning to get you ready for your day.

Our guide, Enrique, was fantastic and took us around San Telmo, La Boca and other interesting areas of Buenos Aires. He was very informative, took us to a local Choripan restaurant and made our experience fantastic.

Our guide, Aime, was fantastic! What a fun experience seeing an estancia with a great meal, horseback ride (easy), and cultural dance show after lunch. Well worth it!

A must experience if you visit Buenos Aires! Great meal and fantastic cultural experience.

What a fantastic hike, however make sure you are prepared for a 9hr, 12.5 mile hike which will test you. This was our favorite excursion of our vacation. After approximately 4-5 hours you new h the summit and are treated to an unbelievable view of Fitz Roy and all of the accompanying scenery including beautiful teal colored lakes Our guide, Virginia, made our experience by observing the pace that made us feel most comfortable and never made us feel like we needed to move faster or slower. She explained all of the history of the different trails and mountains as well as the culture. It was easily our most memorable experience!

What a cool experience. You travel a couple of hours out on Lake Argentina to a remote ranch where guides take you to the top to view the Upsala Glacier field. Once back down to the estancia you enjoy a great meal and museum tour.

An absolute must experience! Words can’t describe the views and experience of hiking on the glacier. Our guide, Vanessa, met us at the hotel and took us into Glacier National Park for an experience of a lifetime. After the mini-trek hike on the glacier she then spent another couple of hours taking us along the walkways to view the glacier from a different view. All the while always patient and taking the time to educate us on the glacier and its’ history.

What a fun experience. It was just hard enough to make it interesting and fun yet eat enough for all levels to enjoy as we have never crafted before. Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made us all feel part of a team as we made our way down the River.

The hotel is very centrally located for driving and walking activities. It was very clean. The linens particularly were very comfortable. Was a little loud in the evenings and mornings as we were on the side of the street. The breakfast was beautiful and ample. The staff was very formal and professional, more informative than friendly.

From the welcome drink and towel to the breakfast buffet this hotel was the must luxurious of the trip. The proximity to the national park was second to none. The monkeys, while a nuisance to the staff, we’re an absolute delight to the guests. We particularly enjoyed the other visitors to this hotel. Lots of lovely families and couples. Pricey but worth it if you can swing it. I’ll dream of that breakfast buffet for ever!!

30 min outside of Mendoza city, and a 30 min walk to the small town’s centrum made the location of this guest house questionable. The room was basic. The hotel itself could’ve had lovely ambience and a family or homey feel however, we never saw the same staff members twice so I felt like we could never connect with the place. Dinner service was spotty in the restaurant so each night we had to make the long walk into the village to find something to eat. Breakfast was limited and very basic bread and jam and fruit.

Loved this!

I will recommend this to anyone I know who is visiting.

I’m so glad we added this. A visit to the falls just isn’t the same without visiting both sides.

I did not feel like we really needed a guide for the Argentinian side of the falls. Walking the trails was included in our hotel and as long as we had the right information, we could’ve made it to the boat trip without any problem on our own

Loved it all! Marco and driver were a great pair. I love how excited Marco got introducing us to each new winery. His energy was contagious. I loved when he joined us in conversation with the Vineyard employees.

It was really special getting to visit so many different vineyards . It really makes you appreciate the differences in the wine. Again, it was delightful having Marcos join us at several of the sites. His knowledge added to the conversation and his, delightful humor, and personality.

A little” kitche”, but a charming “must do” when in Buenos Aries

I loved this walking tour so much. I’ll recommend Valeria to our friends who make similar trips
