Antigua Casona

San Antonio de Areco


A wonderful place to stay in Areco, this restored traditional home offers five high-ceilinged rooms with wooden floors; all are set around covered tile hallways and leafy patios. There's a communal parrilla, should you be tempted to grill your own steak, and a small but picturesque swimming pool set in a brick-lined courtyard.
