Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Cafayate's colonial plaza is a kilometer away along Ruta 40, with local bodegas dotting the surrounding valley.
The rooms
Main lodge rooms look straight across estate vines to the Andes, linked by glass-walled corridors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool and whirlpool sit in the gardens, bordered by a shaded pergola and open vineyard rows.
The spa
An 80-square-meter double spa suite holds a mosaic whirlpool tub and private sauna looking out over the vines.
At the table
Nativo Restó cooks northern Argentine dishes in an open kitchen, with high-altitude wines poured out on the valley terrace.
