Hostal del Valle

Cafayate


An endearing old house festooned with potted plants, and blessed with pretty, yet aging, rooms. Upstairs rooms are preferable, while smaller, darker rooms downstairs are a little cheaper and still worthwhile, though the wallpaper is peeling in spots. A simple breakfast is served in a rooftop conservatory with privileged views.
