Villa Viamonte: a rare find in Mendoza
Built as a city home by Mendocino aristocrats in the 1950’s, the walled estate covers nearly 7,000 square metres (~ 1.65 acres). Renovated and refurbished in 2007 under the consultation of esteemed Argentinian architect, Jorge Bobillo, this villa rental combines all the modern conveniences you need, with details and finishing touches that make you feel you have stepped back in time.
The principal house (or Villa), is made of adobe and has been retro-fitted with modern wiring and plumbing as well as central heating and air conditioning for your comfort. Perfect as your home-base while travelling in the province of Mendoza, the villa offers elegant, traditionally furnished accommodations, stunning treed gardens, an extra, large swimming pool, three patios, and two barbecues.
This is a unique vacation rental opportunity; like the villas of southern France, we offer the entire property. Villa Viamonte is not a hotel and we do not rent individual room nights.
Suitable for small groups of 4 to 12 people – friends or family – everyone will appreciate the luxury of a holiday in your own private estate. The villa boasts five bedrooms – 2 with ensuite bathrooms – an open concept dining and sitting area, a breakfast nook, very large kitchen and pantry, as well as three beautiful patios to relax on. Two additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom are also available in season.
