Cafayate hotellia

Plussat: Everything was so perfect! Amazing location, so quiet and peaceful. Beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated and super friendly staff. Great breakfast with handmade products. They have thought of every little detail to make your stay amazing. We were so happy we extended our stay.

Miinukset: It's a bit far from Cafayate, so if you want to be close to the centre, don't stay here

Plussat: The stay at la vaca tranquila was just so relaxing! Located about 30 min car ride from Cafayate, everything was so calm. Unfortunately we stayed for only one night, however, it was not a problem at all to spend some time after checkout in the common area. Breakfast with cheese, yoghurt etc. directly from the farm was delicious. This really is a perfect location for some days of relaxing!!

Plussat: the owners threats everybody like an individual. They know when to leave you alone and when to give information. you have a kitchen with fridge, water kettle, salt, pepper....at your service. Rooms are nicely decorated. good eye for detail. important: it is very quiet. nice breakfast included with real coffee

Plussat: It is place is an absolute delight. We stayed one night but wish we would have stayed longer. The surroundings are beautiful and there is a really peaceful feel to it. The pool is great and the breakfast is freshly made and delicious. The owners are also lovely people and they make their own beer. Book now!

Plussat: Goats and farm animals Fun typical breakfast

Plussat: The Vaca Tranquila is a real paradise! Great comfort, beautiful and big rooms, super helpful staff, peaceful environment and delicious breakfast (especially the home-made yogurt!). The horse-back riding tour was really nice too.

Miinukset: A little bit far from Cafayate when we don't have a car, but it is still very easy to find a cab and to share one, so it is not a big inconvenient.

Plussat: San Carlos and La Vaca Tranquila are an absolute refuge of peace, tranquility, and authenticity on the edges of slightly dumpy Cafayate. The property owners live on site, which means the maintenance and feel of the entire site is top notch. The surrounding areas make you feel like you're on a working farm, and the town of San Carlos is possibly the most authentic and charming town we came across in our long journey across the Northwest of Argentina. Breakfast excellent, and the pool a real treat.

Miinukset: San Carlos lacks one thing: a passable restaurant. If someone opened a good restaurant in San Carlos, and you didn't have to take the unpredictable Ruta 40 to Cafayate for dinner every night, this place would be a dream. Either self-cater if you stay here (there are facilities to do so) or make sure you have a designated driver for the 30-min trip back. Would be great if the property could arrange a shared taxi service to and from the property at dinnertime (say, leaving at 8:30pm, returning at 11pm) that guests could join.

Plussat: Calme lovely countryside walks Friendly & helpful

Plussat: La vaca tranquila is an amazing farmhouse located in a gorgeous valley with breathtaking mountains views. The room we stayed at was very big with a comfy bed and a beautiful bathroom with a bathtub. Esteban made our stay even more special thanks to his kindness, warm hospitality and his passion for the place. He even gave us a private tour of the in-house brewery ! Try their beers out, they are very tasty and there is a story behind each of them ;) In the morning, we woke up to beautiful and peaceful views along with a delicious homemade breakfast ! We highly recommend this place to make your stay around Cafayate even more special. Thanks again Esteban for your amazing hospitality !

Miinukset: That we only stayed one night :)

Plussat: Amazing comfortable bed. Quiet and peaceful property with wonderful views. Excellent food and wine - I ate dinner and breakfast (which was included) here and was very pleased! I so enjoyed sitting out by the pool with the mountain and vines view, reading my book and relaxing. The location is not too far from town, about 100 pesos in a tax ride and no more than 10 minutes.

Miinukset: Nothing - this was perfect for what I needed. Great value!

Plussat: very nice buildings

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and lovely setting

Miinukset: For a wine hotel, there was not much wine on offer or s tour of the wine cellar

Plussat: Location, facilities, comfort, views, fab breakfast

Miinukset: It could have had a gym

Plussat: Incredible location overlooking mountains and vineyards. Very hospitable staff and lovely food in the restaurant for lunch and dinner.

Plussat: Spacious room, fantastic view, nice staff, great pool

Plussat: Nice place. Big and spacious rooms. Nice view

Miinukset: The balcony furnitures could be nicer

Plussat: A gorgeous traditional style hotel with lovely views over the vineyards. Our room was very spacious, overlooking the pool and vines. The in house dining was delicious. The hotel is situated 3 kilometres out of town, so a car is useful. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Ihana ympäristö, kaunis allasalue, rauhallinen miellyttävä paikka.

Miinukset: Noin 3km tie keskustasta hotellille ei ole asfaltoitu ja siinä on aikapaljon liikennettä. Jos siis haluaa liikkua kävellen tai pyörällä niin matka on aika inhottavan tomuinen.. Aamupalalla joinain päivinä edellisen päivän kroisantit

Plussat: Great View and location & the staff was really friendly and kind. Also, the food at the restaurant was amazing

Miinukset: The tiles of the pool where not clean and the floor was sliding. Also, the property ran out of electricity for an hour without any alternative.

Plussat: Great place, great wines. The pool was nice. You can ride with horses wich was a great thing to do.

Plussat: The property is located just next to a bodega and surrounded by a vineyard. The rooms are spacious. The pool area is gorgeous and just next to the vineyard. They also have on site horses. The staff is very attentive and the restaurant is quite nice.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location.grounds.wine tasting tour.dinner.beautiful building and well cared for

Miinukset: Everything was very good

Plussat: Great pool. Lovely meal in restaurant.

Miinukset: Service was a little slow for a good hotel

Plussat: Outstanding place and architecture. Very well decorated. Peaceful and beautiful gardens and patios.

Miinukset: Prices in the restaurant are higher than in the village and the food is average

Miinukset: Hotel was a diasappointment. Badly in need of a serious renovation. Not worth the 150 euro per night, at all. Room was smelly, rugs were sordid, walls were scratched. Bed was horrible soft. Bathroom, too old. And so the room was very uninviting. Service in restaurant was very nice, but that could not mend our distaste. When you see us waiting to pick up our key, get up and help us, that´s your job.

Plussat: The structure and the landscape are amazing. The restaurant also has very good food.

Miinukset: the shower was old could be replaced by something more modern

Plussat: This is a great 'middle' option between the up and coming high end resorts and the hostels in town. Rooms are big and spacious, service is friendly, grounds are beautiful.

Miinukset: Would be great to have non bread or sweet breakfast option - maybe just some hard-boiled eggs. And the rooms need a little TLC to deal with moldy smell. But overall, terrific choice!

Plussat: Great brothers who run the place - Amazing location and we really liked the home made cakes and jams - a really personal touch.

Plussat: The hotel is very well situated, few blocks from the square and from many bodegas. It was really clean, the breakfast really good (yummy homemade jam by the mother), beautiful garden where we could relax and the pool was a big plus on the hot days we had. The owner was so nice and helpful, we really recommand this place!

Miinukset: Nothing, everthing was as described and even better!

Plussat: A lovely family owned hotel - la Mama does amazing cakes for breakfst and there are homemade marmalades & jellies. The pool and garden are just incredible!

Miinukset: We cannot think of anything!

Plussat: Great location near the vineyards & bodegas, only a couple blocks from the main plaza. Wifi was excellent. The owner and staff were superb and the property is beautiful.

Plussat: Wonderful staff, nice refreshing pool and homemade breakfast.

Plussat: Nice People at the desk

Plussat: The room where spacious and well designed, the personal was adorable and effective and the site is wonderful.

Miinukset: I booked 3 activities while staying at Grace and it was a disaster. The first activity was a blind wine tasting, we arrived at the winery which was more a house where the underground was set up with some plastic vats and wine was made artisanal there. Although the hosts were wonderful and the wine tasting was nice the price : 60 US$ PER PERSON was definitely NOT worth the wines and activity. You should much rather do some wine tasting on your own and pay 1/10 of the price. The wine tasting was OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive for the prestations and the winery in question. The second activity was a horse ride which was wonderful but the hotel forgot? To tell us that we had to pay by cash there and since we didn’t have any cash, the hotel charged us a good extra while checking out. The third activity was the cooking class which they forgot about. Although I have to say that they apologized wonderfully offering us a bottle of wine and some empanadas, thanks! I would also add that the restaurant is overpriced for the prestation, you’ll find some much nicer food and wine for the same value in the center. To conclude, i recommend grace for their nice rooms, services and personal but would not recommend taking your activities with them(overpriced and poorly organized).

Plussat: We had a wonderful time at Grace Cafayate. The hotel is 5 minutes (by car) out of town in the quietness of the vineyards. We were upgraded to the Superior Villa which was huge and made our staying extra special. There was a private jacuzzi in the garden, bbq and large rooms. Nice breakfast. Restaurant is good value for money for lunch/dinner. We could have not asked for better treat.

Miinukset: Since the hotel it’s in the vineyards it would be nice for the guests to have a tour and introduction to what is produced in loco. This is a suggestion for the future, but overall we do highly recommend the hotel

Plussat: The view is fantastic and the staff very kind and helpful. The bathroom has a huge walk-in shower and a huge bathtub, both with an incredible view, and is very modern.

Miinukset: The terrace area behind the pool was being renovated so it was not usable.

Plussat: Facilities are great, location is unbelievable.

Miinukset: Check in was a little unorganized, even though we had provided all the information ahead of time.

Plussat: Nice place, great location in the center of the city. The rooms are great but we found it a bit expensive for what we got.

Plussat: Location. The staff were fantastic, very accommodating and kind. Excellent service.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location Price Service

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: they have a double bike you can rent and cycle around

Plussat: Very nice place, clean, with cozy internal garden, quiet, within 1 minute walking time from central plaza, great breakfast with good variety of choice, fresh salad fruit

Plussat: The room was clean and the towels were changed daily. The wifi was good. The breakfast included all options, salty, sweets, cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt and eggs at request. The parking is actually a field next to the hotel with a gate securing every night. Nevertheless, it was open-air so the vehicles were exposed to weather conditions. The location of the hotel is very close to the main square with many restaurants, cafes, cervecerias and a couple of travel agencies.

Miinukset: The building looks dated especially from the pool's side but you cannot realise that in the hotel. The interior was very well maintained. My room was a double-bed room and it was adequate for me being alone but it was rather small for 2 persons with their luggage. There was a window facing a wall so, not a lot of natural light inside. The A/C didn't respond to some commands of the telecontrol such as temperature and fan speed and it was quite noisy.

Plussat: Close to the center. Private parking for motorcycles. Great rooms

Plussat: good location for wine tasting, rooms have a good size

Miinukset: Pool not clean, old shower (almost no water pressure), old elevator, loud breakfast room

Plussat: Great location. Right in the middle of the city. Spacious rooms. Comfortable bed. Big bathroom

Miinukset: Many of the rooms seem to face an inside patio rather than the outside which means the rooms are rather dark and mellow. Our A/C wasn’t able to cook the room satisfactorily.

Plussat: Good breakfast.

Miinukset: The rooms with street view are extremely noisy. The pool is not heated at all.

Plussat: The Cleanliness

Miinukset: The dirty swimming pool, and the dirt and malfunction of the equipment of the gym (very small room where no machine Works)

Plussat: The swimming pool area

Miinukset: It's average

Plussat: Great location, large rooms, perfect for a few days in Cafayate.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Parking on site, helpfull staff and a spacious room.

Miinukset: You remember that smell when you pick up clothes of the ground from last nights campfire? Somehow our room had that penetrating smell. Also breakfast was not varied.

Plussat: Rooms are spacious and very clean. There is a swimming pool which was not very clean the day we arrived but after asking, they cleaned it. Good wifi and airco in the rooms. Breakfast is oke but nothing special.

Miinukset: Staff does not really speak English and did not give a very warm welcome or tips.

Plussat: Great room, it was clean and spacious with fans and airconditioning. Great location, close to main square but on a quiet street. They provided a gluten free option for breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing, this place was great.

Plussat: The English-speaking receptionist. Located just one block away from the central square Plaza de Armas. A very good quality to price ratio. Totally recommended!

Plussat: Convenient location. About half a block from two bodegas & nary a block from Bad Brothers. Less than two blocks from the town plaza. Comfortable room with one twin and one full size bed. AC, ceiling fan, small fridge, small safe. Ask for extra wine glasses at the desk when checking in. Decent wifi but not good for streaming. Ask for the PSK at check in too.

Miinukset: Secure parking was full, parked on the street with no problems. Breakfast is mostly refined carbs. Rooms are secured with a brass skeleton style key. Room safe is a $30 Harbor Freight model. Read up on how to set a PIN. Not much in the way of chairs in the rooms.

Plussat: Location is very close to the main square, but that's pretty much the only pro. Luckily it was cheap.

Miinukset: The hotel is in really bad shape, there is no elevator to the upper floor, the room was very worn and dated. Cleanliness was questionable... Avoid! Breakfast was rather poor, but that's quite in line with what you would expect in sych a basic hotel

Plussat: There’s a fridge and hairdryer in room.

Miinukset: Something hot at breakfast would have been nice.

Plussat: A very nice hotel in Cafayate downtown, really close from a few bodegas and the main square. A big thank you to the staff who reached us at a foreign number a couple hours after the checkout to tell I'd left my passport in the room (fortunately, we were at a winery nearby, so came back quickly!)

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Love love this property ...poor thing we were the only guest yet they looked after us so well! We ordered dinner before we went out wine tasting! Dinner was superb whole leg of land for 2 pax. Beautiful garden even a spa in our room! Breakfast was superb fresh squeezed orange juice and a full amazing breakfast just for the 2 of us! A must stay even tho it’s 18 km from town! Free wine tasting there and we also bought some 2014 Malbec a very good year!

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: There was nothing not to like.

Miinukset: Casa de la Bodega was a very quiet accomodation. The garden was cultivated well, the wineyard was not grown for a large part, the pool was not clean as a dog constantly drank from it and a frog as well as much dirt was in it. We were the only guests in the restaurant, however the personnel was not very eager to help us and it took the cook very long to serve the food. The hotel was covered with flies as well, also in the dining room. We expected a luxury stay, but decided to leave earlier to a real luxury stay...

Plussat: Loved everything about our stay- especially the absolute tranquility. The lady who checked us in and seemed to do everything else too (got our room ready and served us dinner) was so lovely even though I only got by with a smattering of spanish. The views were incredible and I wished we could have stayed longer! Great food and good wine. The room (ensuite private double with a balcony) was very spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast better than most we’d had during the past two months of travelling but expected for the price. Not appropriate for anyone wanting to stay in the heart of Cafayate though and it’s about a 20 minute drive away from town.

Miinukset: Got quite lost trying to find it. Needs to be marked better on a map but was worth it once we found it!

Plussat: Beautiful scenery, free wine tasting, super clean rooms, friendly staff, and good dinner!

Plussat: The room was nice, bed comfortable, bathroom with bath, view outside pretty.

Miinukset: We were actually really disappointed by this 4-star hotel. The vineyard doesn’t seem to be alive anymore. The staff didn’t put any effort in making us feel welcome and at home or something. Since it’s a bodega and there are pictures of the wine cellar and everything, we expected more of this part but no information, no tour, no noting. The beautiful living room was dark and no fire every day. The dining area empty and quiet and dirty (wine) spots in the table sheets. We turned on some romantic music on our phone ourselves during dinner otherwise it was super quiet. The place just felt dead and empty. Maybe there were just a few guests and low season had started, you should still put an effort in the guests you have. The breakfast also not so good and the swimming pool outside very dirty. At last the shower in our room not comfortable since it was inside a bath and because it was at the slanted side, we had to lean backwards to get our head under so we couldn’t stand straight. We would definitely not recommend this place!

Plussat: Central location and nice garden. Pretty view at the mountains from the breakfast room.

Miinukset: Staff wasn't friendly, seemed they didn't want to make any effort. Couldn't be bothered. Also at checkout it wasn't possible to pay with creditcard.

Plussat: My first 10 points

Plussat: the hotel was a short walk from the square, banks and restaurants. The breakfast was well laid out and of good quality. staff were very helpful. very central location

Plussat: Wonderful management. Clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Excellent breakfast included!

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: Staff. Dark room.

Plussat: The garden is awesome, they have an impeccable pool

Plussat: The entire hostel was lovely. Close to everything. Staff were great - little English but that was fine. We were able to bring our own wine and relax in the garden most nights. We even were able to do workouts on the small grassed area of a day.

Miinukset: Only small but - we stayed for four nights and it would have been preferable if we had the bathroom (toilet bins) changed after a couple of days.

Plussat: + well located in the city + nice owner (man) with advice on what to do and places to eat

Miinukset: --- the hostel claims they take the credit/debit card however they charge a fee if we want to pay with it (no information about it on booking or in the hostel) -- the hostel uses an exchange rate in their favor in comparison to the current one - Light breakfast (however tasty)

Plussat: Owners are nice, location is very good and nice home made bread for beeakfast!

Miinukset: It is not aloud to cook at the hostal. Check out is early, 10.00 o clock.

Plussat: Really nice owners, helpful. Delicious breakfast!

Miinukset: Bathroom was old and "fixed": tap on the sink, missing the lid of the flushing of the WC

Miinukset: Weak wifi and washing basin leakage

Plussat: We loved the freshly baked bread in the mornings! Also the staff were friendly at each breakfast.

Miinukset: I think the atmosphere could have been improved. It would have been great to have some fruit at breakfast to go with the lovely bread. I think the rooms need a little tlc as although they were basic they needed some repairs.

Plussat: Very clean. Price was cheap for what were equipped in the room. Private shower, tv and heater.

Miinukset: Breakfast was only bead and beverage.

Plussat: I enjoyed the Garden area right outside my room. Quiet & colorful.

Miinukset: Nothing to add.

Plussat: Location is close to centre. Bed was comfortable, nice room and standard bathroom.

Miinukset: No kitchen facilities. Breakfast was basic. When we arrived they didn't have our reservation, probably because they're print out of guests was over two weeks old. Limited info to hand on surrounding areas/vineyards.
