House of Jasmines - Salta, Argentina

Rooms & Suites: 9

A long tree-lined driveway leads you to the rambling 100 year old farmhouse, House of Jasmines, owned by actor Robert Duvall and his lovely Argentine wife, Luciana.

It is located just outside the colonial city of Salta in the shadow of the Andes. Opened in late 2004, they have turned this 120-year-old ranch house set in sprawling orchards and gardens of roses and jasmine into a gorgeous boutique inn. Accommodations are in just seven antique-filled rooms with wrought-iron four-poster beds and the scent of roses and jasmine from the farm's private gardens. The two prime suites have terrace views of the gardens, fields and mountains beyond. The talented chef uses local ingredients to create delicious, healthy meals served on the pristine patio overlooking 300 acres of lush grounds. This hotel gives you a taste of estancia living without compromising on luxury. You can hike, ride horses and swim on the estate, but be sure to spend some time exploring the 16th-century Spanish city of Salta, which has the best-preserved colonial architecture in the country.
