Right outside the interesting little “Swiss” village of Villa de Angostura in Argentina is a lovely small hotel with rooms looking over the lake. The staff is excellent, the food is innovative and the surroundings are gorgeous. All is in a National park: lots of trekking, mountain biking, boating...
Magnificent construction surrounded by a pristine garden with amazing lake views . Breakfast is à la carte & very limited in variety. The access to this boutique is extremely unpleasant due to hundreds of potholes on the dirt Road leading to it. Some staff bring the place to life & work really hard to please the customers. Ignacio is a gem & extremely professional . One must have airs & graces to feel at home in this environment that offers gorgeous looking dishes focusing on appearance rather than content (although a few alternatives were kindly offered to us .) Lake view Gym : small & well equipped. Room : spacious but No air con nor fan which seems an aberration in the 21st century . Private access to a small beach . It has its charm thanks to the stunning views of the lake & kind staff but I would rather stay at El Casco art hotel for its food & location . Would I have chosen such a place ? No is the only answer but it would suit those who look for a posh hotel in a very remote area. Villa la angostura is a day trip from Bariloche rather than a 3 night stay .…
We stayed here for two nights on a trip through the lake region. Over our trip we stayed at several excellent hotels, but Las Balsas was our favorite. We had a large corner room on the second floor which was spacious and comfortable, but also full of charm. The view of the lake is quite the thing to wake up to in the mornings! The food is quite good. Breakfast is made to order and dinner showcases the best of local ingredients. Service was excellent, too. A very special place in a special part of the world.
If you are looking for an intimate, elegant environment with a team well prepared to make you feel comfortable, the name is Las Balsas. Ignacio, Paula, Mathias, Val and the others know very well how to do this. The view of the lake with the mountains in the background and the peaceful environment will conquer you. It will not be so easy to leave this little paradise on earth.
We stayed here for three nights and would’ve happily stayed longer. The staff were standout, going beyond expectations to make our stay as pleasant and memorable as possible. We stayed in the corner suite which was perfect, overlooking the lake house and gardens. Decorated in colonial style, the room was kept immaculately clean throughout our stay. The restaurant offers a small choice of high quality meals that should cater for everyone - we didn’t venture out once and consider ourselves foodies so that should say everything. The service was again excellent. The spa is the perfect compliment to the lake districts sometimes temperate climate and the hotel is only a £4 taxi from the centre of Villa Angostura! We would recommend this to anyone and would love to visit again in the future. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay so wonderful.…
