When Mercedes said "welcome home", we truly felt like we were home. When we arrived, Mercedes gave us a map with things to do, restaurants to eat at and a brief history of the city. Every recommendation was fabulous...excellent food, good prices and great service.
The family home is so inviting. Walking through the living room to the breakfast area through to the patio...you feel as though you could have grown up there. Centrally located. Close to restaurants, shops and parks.
A MUST DO - request a wine tour from Mercedes' son and business partner, Javier. He provided an amazing wine experience. It started with a lesson about the vines at Angel Mendoza's vineyard. Second, we learned about the wine making process from Patricio at Ricardo Santos winery. Next we stopped for lunch. This was not a typical lunch. 5 course meal pared with fabulous wines at Ruca Malen. After lunch, we made our last stop at Caelum. Javier was a pleasure to spend the day with and a wonderful tour guide.
Thank you Javier and Mercedes.
Staying at Plaza Italia is a must!
