House of Jasmines
Countryside luxury with deep Argentine soul. Beige and ivory interiors, hand-embroidered linens, stone tile floors, and canopy beds — think chic country house, not glossy resort. The vibe is romantic and unhurried, with French-Argentine hospitality that feels genuinely personal.
Happy hour at La Table runs 7:30–8:30 pm nightly with 2-for-1 beers, wines, and cocktails
Why It Matters
Awarded a Michelin Key 2025 as the sole property recognized in Northwest Argentina. A Relais & Châteaux member with a storied past: the estate was originally built over 130 years ago by a wealthy Saltean family, later purchased by American actor Robert Duvall (whose wife is Argentine), before the Fenestraz family transformed it into one of Argentina's standout rural retreats.
House of Jasmines is a century-old estancia at the foot of the Andes, about 15 minutes from downtown Salta and 10 minutes from the airport. The rambling adobe-style mansion sits on 100 hectares of gardens, with the Arenales River running along the property and red-clay cliffs rising in the distance. Owned and run by the French-Argentine Fenestraz family, it holds both a Relais & Châteaux membership and a Michelin Key 2025, making it the only property so recognized in all of Northwest Argentina.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Junior Suite
A step up in space, with a sitting area separate from the sleeping area and a private terrace with Andes views. The chic northern Argentine aesthetic carries through — beige, ivory, and warm brown floors. Fits a couple plus one extra bed if needed.
King or twin (on request) · 33 sqm
Master Suite
The property's largest accommodation — essentially a Suite (40 m²) connected to a Standard Room with Terrace (18 m²), totalling around 58 m² across two bedrooms, a separate living room, and two private terraces overlooking the Andes. Ideal for families or two couples traveling together who want shared but private space. Up to 6 adults plus one baby.
King or twin in each bedroom (on request) · 58 sqm
Standard Room
Located in the 'Casco Principal,' the 18th-century main house, these rooms are decorated in chic country style with beige and ivory tones over bold brown floors. Hand-embroidered linens and fluffy pillows on a king-size bed. Compact but comfortable — a solid base for a couple exploring the region.
King or twin (on request) · 20 sqmStandard Room with Terrace
Same footprint as the Standard Room but opens onto its own private terrace — great for catching the morning Andean light over a coffee. Also forms the second bedroom component of the Master Suite when booked together.
King or twin (on request) · 18 sqmSuite
Located in a charming annex house just steps from the main residence, the three Suites each have a separate entrance, a living room distinct from the sleeping area, and a private terrace with Andes views. At 40 m², there's real room to spread out. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a separate shower — a notable upgrade. Can connect to a Standard Room with Terrace to create the Master Suite.
King or twin (on request) · 40 sqmSuperior Room
Larger and brighter than the standard rooms, with the same refined country-chic palette. Opens onto a private terrace with unobstructed views of the estancia gardens and Andes mountains. No extra beds possible here, so strictly a couples room.
