Balcón de la Plaza

Top choice in Salta


Polite and genuine, helpful service, an appealing genteel ambience, and 10 understated and elegant rooms with handsome bathrooms and king-sized beds – all this points to a wonderful boutique nest crafted from a converted family home. All rooms come with beamed ceilings, terra-cotta sinks and other tasteful details. You can often get lower rates (and some wonderful deals) in the low season.
