La Casa de la Bodega is owned and operated by Mr. Mario Ernesto Peña, a Salteñan businessman, and his wife Noemì.
The hotel was built and designed with the idea to create something new and unique within in the Calchaquì Valley. The owners wanted to invite guests to enjoy the beautiful surrounding environment while at the same time sharing the technology of the vineyards and winery.
Today, years after acquiring the original piece of land where the hotel was built, the family is proud to receive visitors and tourists from all over the world.
The hotel has been successful in creating a pleasant environment as well as a successful winery.
The winery has a capacity to produce 60.000 liters per year. The winery is equipped with the latest technology, including stainless steel temperature-controlled tanks and an excellent bottling plant which allows us to keep a close eye on the daily produce and is final quality.
Once the process of vinification is done, the red wines are taken to the cellar to rest in French and American oak barrels with perfect conditions of temperature and humidity.
There are 8 exclusive rooms, five of them with view to the vineyards and the rest to the gardens and pool.
Amenities include:
* Hydro massage in the bathrooms
* Direct TV
* Mini-bar
* Telephone with direct dialing
* TV, DVD, WI – FI
* Central heating
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
