Don Arturo: A Traditional Argentine Estancia in Mendoza

While city hotels offer the convenience of having everything just around the corner, there is something to be said for sleeping amongst the vines.

Today more and more travelers disembark in Mendoza, looking for a piece of rustic charm while at the same time experiencing the comfort of quality accommodations.  For tastes such as these, Don Arturo Estancia is the quintessential Mendoza getaway.  Estancias are traditional Argentine cattle ranches, generally consisting of grazing land, a lodge, and stables.

This estancia is located in the Tupungato region of Uco Valley, an hour and a half south of Mendoza downtown and just 10 minutes from Salentein Winery.  The lodge is nestled in the midst of extensive vineyards, in the heart of Mendoza´s premiere wine region.

Don Arturo is a traditional family estancia that dips into the folklore of gaucho life while throwing in a few extras.  The ranch is equipped with numerous amenities to elevate gaucho life from rustic subsistence to rustic elegance.  The property is outfitted with a fully-operating corral of horses to take travelers on a horseback ride through the vineyards, a crystal clear swimming pool to cool them off from the summer heat, and an on-call attendant available even in the wee small hours.

All of that is well and good, but what really makes the Uco Valley location worth it is the sweeping view of the Andes.  Sometimes snowcapped, other times bare, but rarely are they ever hidden beneath cloud cover.

One night at the Don Arturo Estancia includes breakfast, horseback riding, 2 rooms equipped with bathrooms, TVs and the property all to yourself.
