Hacienda de Molinos Salta

Nestled in the heart of the Calchaquí Valleys, Hacienda de Molinos is a historic boutique hotel that captures the spirit, heritage, and beauty of northern Argentina. Set around a traditional colonial courtyard and framed by desert mountains, ancient pepper trees, and adobe architecture, the hacienda offers an atmosphere of timeless serenity. Once the residence of the last Royal Governor of Salta, the property blends centuries-old charm with the warmth of local hospitality, inviting guests to slow down and experience the region’s culture in an authentic and peaceful setting.

Rooms

The hacienda offers a limited collection of rooms and suites, carefully restored to preserve their original character while providing modern comfort. Categories typically include Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, and Suites, each arranged around shaded courtyards or overlooking the surrounding valleys. Stone floors, handcrafted textiles, wooden ceilings, and colonial details create a warm and rustic ambiance. With intimate spaces, natural light, and quiet corners, the rooms reflect the simplicity and elegance of traditional Andean living, offering guests a restful retreat after days of exploration.

Gastronomy

The on-site restaurant celebrates regional flavors through dishes inspired by the culinary traditions of the Calchaquí Valleys. Using local ingredients, such as Andean corn, quinoa, goat cheese, seasonal vegetables, and meats prepared over fire, the kitchen offers a soulful, homemade approach to northern Argentine cuisine. Meals can be enjoyed in the cozy indoor dining room or outdoors beneath the shade of ancient pepper trees, where views of the mountains and the historic patio enhance every bite. A curated wine selection features highlights from the nearby high-altitude vineyards of Molinos and Cafayate.

Experiences

Hacienda de Molinos sits along the legendary Route 40, surrounded by some of Salta’s most iconic landscapes. Guests can explore scenic villages, visit artisanal workshops, and tour boutique wineries specializing in high-altitude wines such as Torrontés. The region invites slow travel, hikes through dramatic valleys, photography outings, visits to historical chapels, and encounters with local culture and traditions. Back at the hotel, peaceful gardens, shaded verandas, and quiet patios offer plenty of space to read, relax, or simply appreciate the silence of the mountains.

Spa & Relax

Although the hacienda does not feature a traditional spa, relaxation is built into every corner of the property. Guests can unwind by the outdoor swimming pool, which looks out toward the red-toned hills of the valley, or rest in hammocks and lounge areas surrounded by native plants and open skies. The tranquility of the setting, combined with the crisp desert air and the timeless rhythm of rural life, creates a naturally restorative environment, perfect for reflection and rejuvenation.
