Patios de Cafayate

Cafayate


North of town, and attached to the El Esteco winery, this is the only bodega with a lodging option. The hotel is set in a beautiful centenarian estancia, and rooms are decorated in classic colonial style, with noble dark-wood furniture, local artesanía and perspectives over either the surrounding vineyards or the garden area, which includes a swimming pool and Jacuzzi.
