Casa Darragueira was exceptional!! Gabriela was a great communicator from start to end. The house is beautifully designed and decorated by Gabriela herself - stunning!! Spacious, comfortable beds and cozy! The backyard was fabulous, the pool was a real hit! The kitchen was well equipped and the house was spotless on arrival. Location was fabulous, on the bus route and only 10 minutes walk to the heart of town. Gabriela offered the best recommendations for local wineries and restaurants, she was also very helpful in planning out onward journey! Muchas gracias Gabriela!!!

Cacras de Coria is lovely and we enjoyed it very much except when in this property. Photographs are amazing, the photographer deserves an award for showing off the very best of this property.

There were dog faeces all over the garden and clear indication that the same dogs (owner is a dog walker/carer) had been all over the garden bed with dirty foot prints all over the sheet. The pool did not appear to be filtered in any way. Shortly after we arrived we found a cat on the kitchen food preparation area eating from a bowl of cat food that had been left out for it. The listing is full of false claims. - Owner does not speak English. - NO AIR CONDITIONING. - Electric kettle does not function. There is a kettle on the hob (lit by matches). - No evidence of a coffee machine seen. - Washing machine has note on it in Spanish requesting not to use it without consulting (and presumably paying the owner). - Microwave was filthy. - Much of the cutlery/crockery was dirty or stained. - The hob/oven were from a different century. - Children's cots/cribs are not available. Owner did make this clear after booking and before we arrived meaning that we had to bring our own (thankfully LATAM baggage allowances are generous). - Most wardrobes and closets are locked and unavailable for guest use. - There is no bath or even a plug to fill the shower base. - No mosquito net. - No fan - No power adaptor seen/found. - No trouser press. - No playground. - No mountain view (property is actually very shady from the large number of trees). - No books/DVDs/music for children found. Live music/performance must be the very noisy night club a few doors away. Difficult if it's warm as you want the windows open as the air conditioning that motivated you to book is conspicuous by its absence....

This place is an oasis in Mendoza. We were able to completely relax in the beautiful yard with pool, birds and privacy. Gabriella was wonderful, and was helpful in suggesting local places to visit. We will always remember our stay there!

It was a great find for us. We liked everything.
