ABOUT POSTALES DEL PLATA CHACRAS DE CORIA LODGE - in their own words:

Our intimate Mediterranean-style lodge is located in Chacras de Coria, an upscale suburb of Mendoza City. The lodge is 25 minutes from the Mendoza International Airport; 15 minutes from downtown; 45 minutes from Valle de Uco; 2 hours from Penitentes Ski resort; and in the heart of the original Wine Country.

The lodge facility is a charming remodeled home that includes a wine bar, restaurant, living room, office with internet access, and tranquil verandas.

The lodge restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, picadas, and dinner daily, with candlelit meals on the verandas each night. The full bar offers an extensive wine list and specialty cocktails.

There are seven suites in three villa-style buildings, six with private baths, and one unit as a two bedroom/one bath suite with a sitting room for guests who require more space, or for families with children. The lodge can accommodate 16 guests.

The verdant grounds are shaded by old growth trees and highlighted by well-manicured gardens. An outdoor parrilla is used for Argentine asados, cooking classes, and evening dining events. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi area are designed for relaxing, enjoying the sun, or savoring your favorite tapas and drinks.

A manager and concierge are on duty to attend guest needs and to arrange any activity--everything from shopping excursions to golf, tennis, horseback riding, mountain biking, tango lessons, and in-room massages.
