Sala de Payogasta

The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious with neat towels. The breakfast offers a variety of high-quality local products.

At the suggestion of an Argentinian artist friend, we spent three full days here, which were some of the happiest days of our two-month trip to Argentina. La Sala da Payogasta is a rare find in the northern regions of Argentina. The owners prefer to take care of the building’s origins, and the former adobe finca has a central square with a covered walkway around. The whole complex breathes history. Elvira and Alejandro, the directors, not only gave us a very warm welcome and read our every wish from our lips, they also run an excellent restaurant with first-class wines on offer, and they provided a guide for trekking in the Nevado da Cachi region. The varied breakfast buffet in the large panoramic room offers local produce, the view is breathtaking. Waking up in the morning with a view of the Nevado da Cachi mountain massif is downright intoxicating (some of the spacious rooms, equipped with tiled floors, heating and private bathrooms, offer this unique view, simply ask for avaibility. Those expecting a metropolitan ambience, luxurious hotel furniture and marble floors may be disappointed - those who love character, first-class service and an enchanting atmosphere will not want to leave.
