Renowned Argentine winemaker Susana Balbo and her daughter Ana Lovaglio Balbo have opened a new luxury hotel in Mendoza with a concept of a ‘home away from home’ and customised luxury tourism experiences. Susana Balbo Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites is a handsomely restored villa with stunning artwork and a large pool and relaxation area, which leads out onto the seven individual spa suites.
A winemaker’s house in the heart of Chacras, Mendoza
The house itself is a stunning refurbished property, which has stunning artwork throughout, in the middle of the village of Chacras in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. As you open the main entrance door you are greeted by a beautiful large artwork by renowned plastic artist Sergio Roggerone — The Tree of Life. It is this artwork which inspired the names and themes in each suite: origin, coraje (courage), huella (footprints), legado (legacy), nosotros (us — family), audacia (boldness) and temple. There’s a lot of thought behind the artwork throughout the hotel, and there’s always a host on hand to walk guests through the art works and stories behind them.
