Posada CampoTinto

Located on a 24 hectare wine estate, Posada CampoTinto is located five minutes outside Carmelo and offers a luxurious, boutique hotel experience. There are pretty gardens and a swimming pool, an Italian restaurant and an organic vegetable garden. The estate specialises in producing small runs of Tannat wine, and has won various awards over the years.

Spend your days here exploring the estate and neighbouring wineries by bicycle, or whiling away the hours beside the pool. Sample cheeses and local meats alongside the small-production wines, or feast on gourmet picnic lunches in the vineyards. Massages are available if this all sounds like too much like hard work, or if you want a bit more adventure, uncover your inner gaucho on a horseback ride.

The main house of the Inn has been carefully restored into four bedrooms - two superior and two suites. Each is decorated in a country style, with white-washed wood panelled walls, floral curtains and a mix of modern and antique furnishings. The superior rooms measure 25 square metres and overlook the San Rocque chapel, whilst the suites measure 34 square metres and have a living area and one has a private terrace. All of the rooms have air-conditioning and WiFi internet.

Posada CampoTinto is a charming property and one where you can really soak up the laid-back pace of life here. The homely style of the property means it feels far more like you are staying with friends than in a hotel.
