A house to rest in a place to discover
A house that allows you to see the lake,
the Andes, Calafate Mountain and the City
by just opening the window.
A comfortable and peaceful environment
to rest with family or friends.
An opportunity to discover
a place, its landscape and its people.

El Calafate can be much more than just a city
to pass through on your way to the famous Perito Moreno Glacier
It is history, the history of a staging post where
peasants stopped their wagons on their long journey to the sea
in order to sell their bundles of wool after the shearing process.
It is an oasis in the middle of the wild and deserted Patagonian landscapes
with bushes and shrubs of a monochromatic beauty
and sunsets of enigmatic red clouds.
It is a place that invites you to listen to the silence of an almost uninhabited land
and the persistent whistling of the wind, typical of the summer mornings
It is the possibility to discover wonderful glaciers, blankets of snow
descending from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field,
one of the fresh water reserves of the planet
It is the legend of the tiny purple fruit
that gave its name to our city,
the fruit of a plant native to this place:
