Location
The charming design hotel is located on the same grounds as the state-of-the-art El Esteco Winery. The winery and its vineyards are located in the Calchaquí Valleys, more than 1,700 metres above sea level. Its strategic location, optimal height, great thermal amplitude (100ºF maximum and 53ºF minimum in the summer), stony and sandy ground, and proximity to mountain water sources generate a unique microclimate which is ideal for growing grapevines. The historical hotel is located in Cafayate, just 1.8 km outside Salta.
