Iraola Hotel Boutique

Iraola Hotel is beautiful. Big rooms, tastefully furnished. New building in the colonial style. Parking on-premise. Attentive staff. Great location, two blocks from the plaza and most restaurants. Our second time there, and we'll return!

We stayed for 3-nights in a superior double room at the Iraola Hotel Boutique in Cafayate ($171 US). The colonial-style hotel is beautiful, all white arches, red tiles and dark-wood windows and doors in a series of 1-2 floor buildings that flow from the front reception-breakfast area into a small, tranquil fountain-centred courtyard, then into a large courtyard with the pool, a grassy area and the bar/lunch restaurant. The pool was perfectly maintained, with comfortable loungers on two sides, each supplied with a fresh towel. Our room was large and spacious, whitewashed walls with a course, rustic tile floor, high wood-beamed ceilings, and suffused with light from the shuttered door and tall, shuttered windows. The king bed was very comfortable (with a 2nd twin bed alongside that was useful for clothes storage). There was also a small table with 2-chairs, a double wardrobe with a safe, and a wall-mounted TV; no mini-refrigerator though. And a nice touch, all of the electrical outlets accepted North American and European plugs as well as the Argentine ones. The bathroom was large, with double sinks, a large vanity and a large walk-in shower with a rainwater shower head. Breakfast was excellent, a selection of fruit, a variety of fresh juices and baked items, and eggs cooked to order. The staff were great – friendly, helpful and, although none spoke English, it was not a problem. Secure parking was available in a lot beside the hotel. And the hotel's location was perfect, in a quiet residential area only three short blocks to the central plaza with its restaurants and bars. Cafayate, as Argentina's second wine area, is a relatively expensive place to stay. Although the Iraola's room rate was high, the value they delivered was superb. We had a great, relaxing stay, enjoying the dry heat of the desert sun while sipping the tasty local wines. It is difficult to imagine staying anywhere better.

Un lugar de ensueño que te transporta a la época colonial por su estilo y decoración. En cada detalle se nota la dedicación de sus dueños. La Habitación en suite súper amplia con un servicio impecable. El desayuno variado y muy bueno. La atención del personal impecable! Lugar que volvería sin dudarlo!

Imperdible hotel en Cafayate. Impecable en todo sentido, lindisimo, prolijo, confortable y muy bien ubicado. Tiene una cava muy linda, y todas las instalaciones están llenas de detalles que hacen que quieras disfrutar del hotel. Destaco la amabilidad de todos los que trabajan ahí y especialmente de Dora que además de cocinar riquísimo es una genia atendiendo a los huéspedes. El desayuno exquisito Sin duda un lugar para recomendar y volver!!
