Andean views are second to none from this charming posada run by a porteño couple who left the big city for Barreal. Ten suites are decorated with traditional furniture, creating a stylish yet rural look. The restaurant prepares home-cooked meals.
This cozy, modern lodge has the Andes mountains as the backdrop with a pool to hang by and enjoy the views. The Alpasion Wine Lodge was strongly inspired by the elements; earth, wind, water, and fire, and it is transparent in the decor and overall ambiance. Wines are made in house and a small selection can be enjoyed on the patio in your choice of a room, a dome tent outside for glamping, or the on-site restaurant. The rooftop is the perfect place at night for immense views of the sky, and with minimal light pollution, you can see many constellations and stars above.
With only four rooms, this handsome bed-and-breakfast guarantees personalized service within walking distance of the city center, lots of restaurants, and Parque General San Martín. There are even free bikes to use if you want to explore the city on two wheels. It's a good option if you want to have a reasonably priced, relaxing refuge within the big city.
This 1928-built adobe farmhouse on the main street is a gathering place for like-minded lovers of all that Barreal has to offer: good books and music are noticeable in the living room, comfort food comes from the kitchen, and the quaint rooms lead out onto an ample garden. The stark simplicity of brick or cement floors contrasts with the fanciful folk art and themed room decor (some are devoted to Argentine icons and Indigenous people, others to native flora and fauna).
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.
Tucked away on a quiet country road, this casona-style wine lodge has simple, but comfortable rooms that each look out onto old vines, distant mountains, and the peaceful garden and pool area. Dining at the intimate restaurant offers a good way to unwind after a full day touring the nearby wineries.
This popular posada in the heart of Uco wine country has rustic chalets with sweeping views of the Andes, offering top value lodging near Tupungato’s wineries; each is equipped with a woodburning stove for the winter, plus a private patio looking out onto the property's own biodynamic vineyards. High on a hillside, the romantic lodge restaurant ($$) serves breakfast and dinner for guests only; however, it is open to the general public at lunch.
