Cabins in Carmelo

We spent three wonderful days in the El Legado wine lodge. The bodega rightly calls itself a boutique wine lodge. Only 14,000 bottles are produced per hectare each year, of the Tannat, Syrah and a blend of the first two varieties. The guest house has four very spacious and modern rooms, with seating on both sides. The newly built swimming pool with comfortable loungers around the pool in the middle of the vines deserves special mention. The staff also deserves special mention, who are always friendly and helpful. Federico, the manager of the complex, looked after us with humor and a lot of knowledge. He showed us around the wine cellar and the rest of the complex. The highlight of the stay was the wine tasting with a wonderful platter of delicacies. The whole thing was only surpassed by the asado. A selection of meat that is second to none was served to us right by the fireplace.

Aldo, our host, was extremely gracious. He picked us up at the bus station and provided valuable information concerning the local wineries, restaurants etc. The cabana is beautiful and perfectly decorated. We were provided with a pastries, juices etc. for breakfast. We couldn't have asked for a more delightful place from which to enjoy the local wineries and Carmelo.
