If you want to truly experience Buenos Aires, you have to try The Garden B&B in the heart of San Telmo. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and spotless. Many luxurious details are added too, such as down bedding, beautiful handmade soaps, and fresh flowers in your room. We stayed in the room called “Nuez” and it looked just as lovely as it did in the pictures posted on Bedandbreakfast.com. All the rooms, including the living room, open up to a spacious and peaceful courtyard with beautiful plants and vines. Breakfast is a special treat, with homemade banana muffins and an assortment of local jams and spreads. We especially enjoyed the “dulce de leche” spread. Although we had absolute privacy, Pamela (the owner) was always available. The house is located just a few blocks away from the famous Plaza Dorrego, where there are many antique shops and great restaurants to explore. The rest of BA’s attractions are just a short cab ride away. We highly recommend it.

It is a fun indoor-outdoor house with wonderful private patios and gardens, but the true reason to stay here is the personal interaction. We enjoyed Pamela’s company (plus her kids and dogs) so much we hated to leave. We had a wonderful stay and we are now planning our return trip to Buenos Aires and will stay with Pamela.
