Entertain - Open one of those bottles of wine you picked up on your winery tour as you cook a meal in the fully equipped chef's kitchen. Too tired to cook? We offer an optional in-home chef on request to cook some local dishes just for you and your friends. Not in the mood for a fancy nosh? Food delivery in Argentina is fast and inexpensive and it offers a wide array of options, just use Uber Eats like you would at home or the even faster Pedidos Ya app.
Relax – Sip some wine in the living room while watching a movie or your favorite tv show on the large wall mount smart TV with Dolby Atmos capable sound bar which you can also connect to on any of your Bluetooth capable devices. Read a book in the side gallery or the balcony. Or, retreat to the third bedroom, setup as another television room where the couch doubles as a sofa bed.
Work – While we hope you are joining us on vacation, for those of you who cannot reschedule work or for the ever growing army of digital nomads we have set up a large monitor and printer. Our home also features two dedicated routers that each run a 500mbps internet connection (Lan & WiFi) on fiber optic cable. So, no meeting is too far to attend and no file is too large to upload.
Packing light - The kitchen annex offers a full walk-in pantry and laundry room, so you can just bring the basics and enjoy your time here.
Included in your stay is your airport pickup on arrival and drop-off at departure which is part of your key pickup and return process.
This full floor apartment has been in our family since it was built over sixty years ago. It was designed by the famous local architect Panelo Gelly -who also designed the local police headquarters and several iconic local homes and public buildings-. The design was influenced by American Mid-Century Modern and Brazilian Tropicalismo architecture and it incorporates oriental influences so popular in the 1950's and 1960's such as the original pagoda style bar stools and meso-American influences like the Mayan inspired shield and columns outside the lobby.
We hope we have succeeded in creating a comfortable home that balances original features we loved with modern amenities and furniture that evokes the period. We maintained many original features such as the bedroom herringbone floors, Brazilian wood built-ins in the bedroom and the living room bar shelf unit, the teal leather bar and bar stools, and the stone living room wall.
The Neighborhood

"La Lepra") host visiting rivals. The place of choice for several foreign consulates and private NGO's Quinta Seccion boasts both an aristocratic pedigree and a forward thinking spirit that permeates all of the city and the province. The same spirit that has transformed Mendoza into a leading global force in the wine industry and a proud member of the world's Great Wine Capitals network.

Getting to Mendoza is easy. The city is connected non-stop to some of Latin America's main hubs (Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Panama).
