Thank you for the amazing time. The group had a wonderful time. They love the house everything was just very beautiful. The property is gorgeous highly recommend it. Thank you.

Great place for wine lovers LOVED IT

This property was difficult for me to rate as seeing a lot of 5 Star ratings likely set my expectations too high. Aspects deserving of 5 Stars are: 1) The cleanliness of the property, 2) The warm welcome by the caretaker and her availability to answer questions, 3) The size of the house to accommodate large groups, 4) The proximity to groceries, wineries and restaurants. 5) The beds were comfortable and bathrooms well stocked. 6) The pool was clean and refreshing. Items for me that make it less than 5 stars include: 1) Our group needed to do laundry, but due to an apparent water issue, we were asked to only do 1 load per day. This was inconvenient after our group of 8 had already been traveling for 10 days and were counting on this availability. 2) After being asked to limit laundry, we were told to be patient for hot water in back bathroom - which took 5 minutes to arrive. Guess I should have done laundry by hand in that tub with the cold water... A tankless water heater in that bathroom would prevent the wasted water. 3) The couches/chairs in the living room are past their prime and uncomfortable for relaxing with our group for an evening glass of wine. 4) The wi-fi signal does not reach the back bedrooms of the house and the pool, despite there being two routers. A wi-fi booster would help with this. 5) There was an initial lack of communication with the owner which led to a misunderstanding of pricing per number of guests and the number of nights we were staying. This house has great character and I would recommend it overall.

I recently stayed at Villa Viamonte with 5 of my friends. While the villa is spacious and on a very nice lot with a giant pool. The architecture and grounds really are great! People should be aware it is not super close to town and taxis are limited so you may need a car or car service to get around. That said, the town of Chacras de Coria is a walkable town with plenty of restaurants - all within walking distance to the villa. The villa also provided great proximity to wineries in the Lujan de Cuya and Miapu regions. Back to the villa...The ability to speak Spanish is immensely helpful as the people who live onsite and take care of the property do not speak any English. Using Google translate, we were able to arrange for them to prepare a traditional asado for us and it was fabulous...so much food! Some of the issues we experienced include: - villa wasn't stocked well with toilet paper, bath towels or any drinking water - some ant problems (live and dead) - no dryer as listing indicated (not a big deal unless it rains the entire time you are there like it did for us) - the villa was a bit musty (especially the bedrooms and office, which we used as a bedroom) - door keys all hung unlabeled on a board in the kitchen so finding specific keys when needed was challenging - villa cleaning did not happen during our stay as indicated at booking Finally, make sure to get a local contact number for the onsite staff so you can contact them in an emergency. We had two such occasions - 1, we were given the wrong physical address for the villa so without a contact number we had to search the street door-to-door to find the correct villa and 2, the security gate/door wouldn't close one day. Since the staff were away for the day (it was a Sunday) and didn't answer their door, we were forced to email the property owner in Canada for help. This was not efficient and cost us several hours each day just trying to get help. Overall, we had a wonderful time in Mendoza and at the villa which really is its own private oasis.
