We stayed for 2 nights at La Merced del Alto last March, and the place totally surpassed our expectations. The views and the surroundings are to die for: the Nevado de Cachi, the mountains and fields. The restaurant is very good, though you'll have to be patient with the waiter. The rooms are clean and well-tended. A place to take... More

Marvellous place in the middle of the Quebradas, like a quiet paradise with a beautiful view overall. The rooms are like in a monastery, with the comfort and the standing of a 4 stars hotel, very quiet and simple. A good restaurant with an smiling service. Swimming pool is just perfect.

If you are doing the scenic drive from Salta to Cafayate, unless you put in an 8 hour drive, you are likely to spend a night in Cachi, as we did. The drive to Cachi over the Cuesta del Obispo is spectacular, and one first impressions, La Merced del Alto also looked spectacular as we drove up to it -... More

After a very interesting drive over unpaved roads ( unpaved roads means really rocky, dusty and UNPAVED) and through beautiful scenic mountains / high plains, my wife and I reached Cachi. This hotel is situated a couple of miles from the town center. The drive to hotel was another unpaved road leading us to doubt ourselves about our choice. However,... More

We stayed in a number of B&Bs on our drive from Salta to the Quebradas and this is hands down the best overall! Arriving before sunset, we see the light playing off distant mountains and valleys framing the white building we are coming to just outside of Cachi town. Signage was good in getting there and staff were warm in... More

After an extremely bumpy drive to Cachi from Salta, we were delighted to arrive at La Merced del Alto. It's beautifully situated a mile or so out of town, overlooking the valley. Pool surrounded by gardens and views to die for, Helpful staff. Limited English but very patient with our efforts to communicate in Spanish. Nice buffet breakfast. Good dinner... More

Very unexpected to find such a well-run, professional hotel here.... About 2-3 km from the centre of Cachi; in the mountains in a lovely rural location. Hacienda style hotel with large comfortable rooms and good bathrooms. Staff spoke english (mostly) and were helpful and friendly. Good restaurant and excellent buffet breakfast. This is not a cheap place but is top-end....... More

The hotel looks like the pictures you can find on the web. The staff was friendly and professional. The decoration was exactly the one you can expect in an estancia (maybe a little bit oldschool for young people). The rooms are very spacious and the bathroom too. You can find there many great choices of wines from around the region.... More
