House of Jasmines

We travel a lot, but this is by far the best hotel I ever visited. First of all, the staff is amazing. They are all so friendly, and they all speak English. They are really helpful (park your car, help with the luggage, welcome drink, questions etc.). Secondly it’s the most beautiful place I ever visited. The room and private terrace is very spacious, clean and romantic. There is fresh fruit, water and tea in the room. The building is really authentic and beautiful. The nature around the building is even more beautiful. Words couldn’t do it justice. Thirdly, they have a lot of activities: children activities (pastry making, games, babysitting), empanada making lessons, biking, spa, gym, swimming pool, horsebackriding and bird watching. And at last the breakfast, the food in general and cocktails are amazing. The complementary breakfast was very various and you could even add some freshmade dishes to the buffet (tortilla eggs, pancakes with Dulce the ledge). The pancakes are the best I ever had in my life!

The drive up to the house is breathtaking, so much so we got out the cab and walked. Charming property. Lovely place to relax and take in the views of the sub Andes. No stable on site, this can be arranged but it’s a little further out. Bikes need replacing, would be nice for them to have kids bikes too. Food is great and the hotel work hard at creating the entertainment with BBQ nights, live music... salta is busy and sadly more commercial than we thought so being 15-20 away was ideal. Hotel can call you a cab into town for about £7. Hotel is close to airport, transfer from hotel is expensive compared, $65 approx including tax for a ten min ride. Take a cab, plenty outside and a bargain at circa £4!

Beautiful restored estancia approximately 15 minutes drive from Salta. The house is traditional yet very comfortable with the right balance of old and new. The bedrooms and bathrooms (we stayed in Iruya and Humahuaca) were cosy and perfectly adequate albeit relatively small compared to other estancias that we have stayed in. The restaurant is a new extension to the house but is fully in keeping with the style. The food was of high quality and the service was excellent. The grounds and vistas are spectacular (but everywhere in Salta Province has spectacular views). We enjoyed our stay as a family and would recommend to others.
