Each of the several guest bedrooms are tastefully decorated, from the attractive furniture and antiques, to the deep, warm down comforters on the beds. The bathrooms, either en suite or adjacent, were exceptionally spacious and well appointed with tiled walls and floors, gold-plated fixtures and deep tubs and showers. The living room was centered around the outsize fireplace. Large tree trunks ran from the floor to the vaulted ceiling, giving the room a rustic charm. The picture windows always seemed to perfectly frame the magnificent countryside.
Dinners are always a much-anticipated treat.
Argentineans are famous for their enjoyment of food and wine, and our experience at El Talisman was no exception. From the thin fillets of veal, and beef and chicken, to the rich red wines and moth watering deserts. This was not the more traditional asada that I had known on previous visits, but delectable never the less. Surprisingly, getting to Argentina these days is relatively easy. Guests fly into Buenos Aires, and transfer onward to Esquel via jet.
