Initially we were a little underwhelmed by our room and did question if we should stay or move on, our room was upstairs on the smaller side with compact shower room. We did stay and were glad we did. La Masia is different to an anonymous hotel, the staff were really personable and friendly. As well as 2 dogs and a cat that live outside.
As has been mentioned it can be difficult to find for the first time and our taxi driver struggled, the walls were yellow but there was no sign for the hotel. it is located on Longone , this is a treelined gravel/stone road that is dusty in drier weather.
According to google maps Longone is between paved roads of Viamonte and Dr Edmundo Correas, it is represented not being passable between the 2 roads, but is it possible to drive between Viamonte and Dr Edmundo Correas.
The breakfast was simple but delicious with eggs cooked to order.
We didn’t use the pool as the weather wasn’t fabulous but I’d imagine its great to unwind around it when the sun is shining.
One evening Alejandro organised an asado for us with other guests, it was possibly the most fabulous evening Ive had at any hotel anywhere, from the bbq meats to red wines and great company.
We did travel into Mendoza for the day but we were glad we choose to stay in Chacras de Coria,...Initially we were a little underwhelmed by our room and did question if we should stay or move on, our room was upstairs on the smaller side with compact shower room.

We did travel into Mendoza for the day but we were glad we choose to stay in Chacras de Coria, the small town is very charming and the area is quieter and more relaxed.
It is possible to use the local buses to travel about, the 700 series buses stop close to the intersection of Longone and Viamonte we found them clean reliable and easy to use, the only caveat is the need to purchase a prepaid card (from small newsagent/mini mart type shops).
With a little Spanish we found the local people really helpful and many went out of their way to help when we asked for help or directions.
It is possible to walk into Chacras and takes about 30 mins +, perhaps take a taxi back.
If you want a fake “have a nice day” experience from a hotel then you wont find it here. If you want an honest to goodness care that your trip is going well in a tranquil setting you’ll find that here from Alejandro and the team. More
