I highly recommend spending at least one night in Purmamarca because you then have the opportunity to do the one-hour walk around the spectacularly coloured hillside as distinct from being bussed in and out and allotted ten minutes for a photo-op. If you do, this is a lovely spot to stay. The hotel, which was selected for us by our... More

Words cannot describe how spectacular this place is! With people as beautiful as the scenery this hotel is truly an 11 out of 10. From our first e-mail contact with Emilio to our day of departure everything was perfectly surreal and we really had a feeling that it was special. Outstanding food, excellent housekeeping, centrally located and great prices are... More

...it has a bit of a motel style when you reach the parking lot but it is a nice and closed hosteria lot which is surrounded by creatively furbished rooms. Ours had a great view on the colored mountain and was very clean and cosy. The staff is very friendly and helpful and one of the team members speaks excellent... More

If yoú're travelling around Salta you MUST stop at Purmarca, a beautiful little village still unspoilt by tourism (at time of writing!). I cannot recommend enough this little hotel. Simple, clean and confortable rooms and a friendly staff, it is perfect place to disconnect and while away a couple of days. Perfect for unwinding and forgetting the stresses of the... More

I had a room on the first floor and my balcony had views directly in front of the Cerro de los siete colores which was beautiful at sunset and sunrise. The bathroom was a bit old, but was sufficient and clean. The service was outstanding and was the best service I encountered during my time in Argentina. Steven was very... More

The hotel is in the most beautiful mountain range I have ever seen and well worth visiting. The hotel is exceptionally clean and inviting. Our room was cheerful, bright and comfortable and even had heated tiles on the floor (we were there in the winter). Esteban the hotel manager, was extremely helpful, warm and attentive. He went out of his... More
