Patios de Cafayate Hotel & Spa

The Patios de Cafayate Hotel & Spa is rich in culture, wine and tradition with spectacular views of the Calchaquies Valley vineyards. Patios de Cafayate Hotel & Spa is located on the same grounds as the state-of-the-art El Esteco Winery. There are just 30 bedrooms all filled with antiques, beautiful carpets.

The winery and its vineyards are located in the Calchaquíes valleys, over 5,577 feet above sea level. Its strategic location, optimal height, great thermal amplitude (100Fº max and 53Fº min in the summer), stony, sandy soil and proximity to mountain water generate a unique microclimate which is ideal for grapevines.

Take a stroll through the extensive gardens and admire the traditional architecture and antique colonial patios, then take a dip in the stunning swimming pool before a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant where the chef prepares recipes passed down from generation to generation and created with local products. Many of the recipes include eggs because the whites were once used for the clarification of wine at the winery and the yolks were often used for well-known desserts, such as ambrosia, puddings, and regional pies. Or one night you may prefer to head into town to try out one of the restaurants on the main square in Cafayate.

There is also a ‘Wine spa’ which rather uniquely offers special wine-based treatments!
