Colonial-style rooms, sun-drenched terraces, and a warm, local welcome, all framed by vineyards and the awe-inspiring silhouette of San Isidro Hill.
Location
Tucked among sun-drenched vineyards just outside the town of Cafayate, Viñas de Cafayate is a peaceful escape in the heart of the Calchaquí Valley. Framed by the red-rock foothills of San Isidro Hill, this small wine resort feels beautifully remote, yet you're only a few minutes from the town’s leafy plaza, cafés, and artisan markets. It’s an ideal base for soaking up the natural beauty and slow rhythms of northwest Argentina.
Rooms
The 22 rooms are simple but elegant, each with terracotta floors, warm wooden furniture, and wide windows or private terraces looking out across vines, gardens, or mountains. Superior rooms feel especially spacious, with extra touches like local textiles and comfortable sitting areas.
Amenities
There’s a calm, relaxed energy here that makes it easy to slow down. Guests love the open-air pool and sun deck, perfect for unwinding after a morning hike or winery visit. Inside, there’s a cosy lounge with a fireplace for cooler evenings, and the restaurant serves generous, locally inspired meals, often paired with the estate’s own Torrontés.
Activities
Whether you’re here to explore or simply unwind, there’s plenty on offer. We love the guided walks through the surrounding hills, or cycling into town for a glass of Malbec in the square. The hotel team can arrange visits to nearby wineries or scenic drives through the Quebrada - though honestly, many guests are happy just to linger on the terrace with a book and a view.
Sustainability
Viñas de Cafayate quietly leads the way in sustainability. They’ve invested in solar power, low-impact water treatment, LED lighting, and natural composting. Guests can delight in organically grown vegetables harvested from the resort’s own garden, ensuring a farm-to-table experience with minimal food miles.
