El Carmelo Mountain Lodge

Beautiful lodge in a superb location with just a few fabulous rooms, pool and dining. Also a lovely garden. The attention to detail in each room is excellent: decor is tasteful and modern, well equipped kitchenette, plenty of soft seating, a balcony looking uninterrupted to the Andes with chaise lounge chairs with warm ponchos provided - we got up to see the sunrise hitting the Andes. An excellent dinner in the old house and breakfast on our terrace in the morning. We were lucky to have a chance to chat with Ricardo, our host. Charming, well travelled and great company.

Aside from how beautiful and romantic the hotel property is, we had such great experience communicating with the hotel and the staff. They are really helpful, accommodating and understanding! Our schedules got moved a couple of times and they were so helpful and flexible to move our reservation. What I loved the moser was that I could directly chat with an actual person instead of a bot or jumping through hoops to be able to talk to someone in stressful time! Thank you so much for all your help!

My husband and I spent a few days at Carmelo Mountain Lodge as part of our honeymoon and it was by far the best part of our trip. We were treated so incredibly well and the accommodations were spectacular. We even had thunderstorms for one of the days were were there, and still enjoyed ourselves by reading on the balcony while watching the storms pass. The food is incredible and you get to choose what you want for dinner from a good sized menu each day. Waking up to those views is an experience we'll never forget!

We stayed for only 2 nights but wished it had been longer. The Gate opens and you can immediately tell how much care is taken to maintain this beautiful property. Greeted by Ricardo who made our stay so personal and lovely. When stepping into your room your are immediately struck by the views which could be taken in 24 hours a day. Greeted with Sparkling wine and a Charcuterie board with all sorts of other goodies stocked in the room. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and served on your balcony. We had 2 of the 4 rooms and happened to have the lodge to ourselves. Beds were so comfortable and the pool area had views that matched your room. Ricardo, thank you for taking such good care of us and introducing me to Mate!! I am trying to perfect the craft here in the states!

So many positives to share... I loved this place! The views are breathtaking... great to see snow capped mountains while lounging in the pool. Was greeted very warmly by Ricardo... Manager of El Carmelo Mountain Lodge. My spanish is "un poco" - his English is excellent. The entire staff made you feel as though you are part of the family. Breakfast served in the morning was hot and delicious. Dinners were tasty... and you can choose when you want it. Top it all: Resort has only 4 rooms... so very quaint and intimate for those who want to just relax and "get away from it all"... Enjoy a dip in the pool or lay on one of the 4 outdoor cabanas. Before your stay - Carolina will stay in touch with you via WhatsApp and give you all the proper instructions. Her English is also "excellente!!" Call them ahead of time and they will arrange for transportation from/to Mendoza and the wineries. You have no worries at all!! The resort is within a short 30 minute drive to many of the wonderful wineries which you can go and visit and enjoy wine tastings and delicious meals. You will not regret coming to visit El Carmelo Mountain Lodge!!

100/10 would recommend this place. Only 4 suites. The view from the rooms is unbelievable. Food is great, the area is peaceful, the owners are friendly, cool and fun to talk to. We stayed here at the end of our trip and it was the perfect place to relax and soak up the beauty of the Andes. Absolutely incredible stay, would go back in a heartbeat.
