Our week-plus stay at Posada Palermo in February, 2007 was one of the most comfortable, friendly, and aesthically pleasing experiences in our 35 years of traveling.
Behind its 19th C doorway, the Posada unfolds with warmly colored, surprising elements that make you feel immediately welcomed (an internal garden with sleigh bench; a vaulting but cozy, art-filled breakfast room with music playing; a multi-leveled outdoor garden). Viviana, the owner and architect, designed each guestroom in a unique combination of Euro line and rich color to adapt the historical building (an old pasta factory with a classical façade). She and her daughter now live on the evolving upstairs level.
As several different returning guests affirmed to us, the Posada serves the most bounteous B&B breakfast in Buenos Aires. (And Viviana sends out for more if she thinks it’s not enough.) Tea, coffee and fresh water are always available beside the guestrooms in the tiny art-covered sitting area by the inside garden.
Even surpassing these features, was the friendliness and helpfulness of Viviana and her manager, Alejandro. No problem dropping off our luggage two days before our actual stay there. No problem finding us a nearby apartment for the night the Posada was filled by a frequently returning family. No problem letting us use the computer for email and information. No problem with us staying in the wonderful breakfast room way beyond breakfast time. They would join us at each breakfast and make sure we had all the information needed for the day, with local wisdom and suggestions thrown in.
We will surely return there on any trip to Buenos Aires.
