Fodor's Expert Review Posada Salentein

RN89 at Elias Videla, Los Árboles, Tupungato, Mendoza, 5551, Argentina

Tucked into the foothills behind Bodega Salentein, this posada is delightfully off the beaten track, and you can choose between modern en suite rooms or one of the homey 100-year-old cottages, all of which look onto the vineyards, large lawn, and swimming pool. There's a home-away-from-home atmosphere and the intimate restaurant opens for lunch and dinner, serving traditional asado or more gourmet à la carte options. A tour of the Salentein winery (3 km [2 miles] away by car or bike) and a visit to the Killka art gallery are offered to all guests, or you can book in horseback excursions at their San Pablo estate.

PROS

  • peaceful vineyard setting
  • best value in the Valle de Uco
  • intimate, exclusive restaurant

CONS

  • far from it all
  • pool isn't heated
