Wine Map - Read Guests Comments - Wine Fest March 2006!
The Quinta Anabtawi, 2 acres of land (8000m2), almost a Hectare, accomodates one couple and three children in the villa and an additional couple in a fully equipped studio apartment (with its own bathroom and toilet) in our extensive barbeque area and a beautiful crib, with changer and baby bath. It is important to point out that the whole property is rented to just one group at a time. This assures full enjoyment of all the wonderful facilities in total privacy. The grounds at Quinta Anabtawi are a special treat, and the Fauna is varied and very enjoyable!
Please note that Quinta Anabtawi is not a B&B, it's your very own private resort. (For a group of minimum 4 to a maximum of 7. For just one couple please ask for pricing) Other than Homer, your friendly canine attendant, and Thelma and Louise, who will provide your morning freshly laid organic eggs, there is no staff to attend to you. Yours truly, Riyad (Owner/Manager), does not live on the premises either, although I'm only 10 minutes and a phone call away. I strive very hard to ensure your stay is as comfortable and private as possible. I will receive you with an open heart and make sure that your first day goes without a hitch. Then I leave you to enjoy the Quinta in complete privacy. I can very easily be contacted by e-mail or by cell phone. There is no gardener either while you are there. Gardening is performed while you are away visiting the many close-by wineries with guided tours and sightseeing the Andes mountains. Nearby, we have a little ranch for guided horse back riding tours, in which you are taken to ride amongst lush vineyards between hundred year old olive trees.
A trip one can take to the Chilean border. - Map of Location.
Quinta Layout:
The Quinta is located in the heart of wine territory, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. There are lots of picturesque wineries close by where guided tours are available. We are also close to the Andes mountains for hiking, fly fishing and rafting down the Mendoza river, as well as skiing in winter. Mendoza city is only 10Km away, a 10 minute drive. There is also the quaint town of Chacras de Coria which is very close by. Please surf my pages to check out the property. If you have any questions you can always e-mail me or call me at (949) 340 3552. (Dial "001" from Europe, or "1" from the U.S.) Please Contact us for inquiries and the availability calendar . You can also view comments from previous guests.

Driving instructions from the airport:
Take the "RUTA 40" highway from the airport, South... On the way, you will arrive to the city of Mendoza center. Make sure you stay on the left lane, as you will arrive to an overpass. You need to take that, to avoid more traffic lights. Keep driving. You will pass JUMBO super shopping center, then a statue of a giraffe, finally another super shopping center called MAKRO. As soon as you pass that, you need to make a sharp right following the signs to Lujan de Cuyo. You get on a highway and drive approx 8km, till you get to the "CHACRAS DE CORIA" exit. Make a right on that and go all the way to till it dead ends on "SAN MARTIN SUR". Make a right and drive for a Km or 2 till you get to "PUEYRREDON" street then left on that. You will get to "VIAMONTE" street. Keep driving and this takes you to a major freeway called "CORREDOR DEL OESTE" (The western runner). Make a left on it and the very next exit is "GUARDIA VIEJA" street, you'll go under a tiny yellow bridge. 200 meters down you will get to "ALTE. BROWN" (There is a small sign), and make a right on it (dirt road) go for 800 meters on that till it makes a sharp turn to the left. This is where I am. Take a picture of my gate in your mind.

March 2009 pics from our lovely guests Weldon and Mary!
In April 2009, we had the pleasure of the company of Laura and Chris. They hired a driver, Marcelo, who has lived in Canada, so his English is perfect! Marcelo took them to Valle del Uco for a three winery tour. They visited O. Fournier, 130 km south of Mendoza city, Andeluna(highly recommended for lunch ? delicious!) Location: Ruta Provincial 89 km 11 Gualtallary, Tupungato Visits: Daily at 10:30am, 12:30pm and 3:30pm by reservation only Reservations: Phone 54 2622 423226 54 9261-155270176 E-mail: visit@andeluna.com. and La Azul. (Web site with very broken English!) It was a perfect grouping (all a little different) and an excellent day. "We cannot recommend Marcelo highly enough! (It was 600 pesos for the day for the 2 of us- UCO is a long drive! ? closer tours are less). O. Fournier is quite modern, excellent tour and beautiful building. - Andeluna was perfect for lunch ? tasting menu with wine pairings was excellent ? the food was great and we got to try many more wines than a usual tasting. - La Azul is tiny ? fantastic wines but be sure someone in your group can speak Spanish ? Marcelo translated for us."
