Estancia: House of Jasmines

In a country province of Argentina called Salta, you will find the House of Jasmines.

 First let’s set the scene for Salta: this province is situated at the edge of the Andes Mountains, has pipe organ canyons and neverending chains of mountains as far as you can see in every direction. This is the Andes, after all.  House of Jasmines is a century old and yes, there are hundreds and hundreds of wild jasmine plants everywhere, along with cities of wild orchids and roses. There are three hundred acres and it’s situated on the Arenales River so the necessary ingredients are here for the perfect estancia getaway.

This is one of the top Argentina estancias.  The owners, Robert Duvall and his wife Luciana, who is from Argentina, have added to the natural beauty of the estate and the historical beauty of the main house. The seven suites feature shabby-chic decor integrating antiques and comtemporary casual designs. Imagine white four-poster beds and wrought-iron light fixtures and exquisite Argentine antiques. Of course, this being the Argentine countryside, there is a paddock of horses. There’s also a spa and a place to take a dip in the pool. Breakfast is included, too.
