DEPARTAMENTOS CIELO DE CAFAYATE

Folded into the Barrio El Transito on Cafayate's quiet northern edge, Departamentos Cielo de Cafayate offers self-contained apartments a short drive from the town's plaza and its Calchaqui Valley bodegas — a practical base for travellers touring the wine region by car rather than staying within walking distance of restaurants.

Each unit keeps its own private bathroom, air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TV, with a shared garden used for evening asados when guests bring their own provisions.

Parking is on-site and free, useful given how spread out the valley's wineries are along Route 40.
