Club Tapiz: Great Place to Stay Near Mendoza, Argentina
by ginajosh
We stayed at Club Tapiz, just outside of Mendoza, for three nights in the Spring of '06. It's charming, small, artfully decorated, and sits on a vineyard with a winery on the premises (the winery is not in use except as a tasting room now). There is also a wonderful restaurant, a lovely staff, and a pool/tiny work-out room/spa services available. It really feels like home when you're there and it's closer to wineries than if you stay right in Mendoza. Obviously, though, you would have to take the 15 min. drive back into town to go out to restaurants/bars/the casino. etc. If you want to have quiet evenings and wine taste during the day, this is the place for you. If you want some action, stay in Mendoza for part of your stay at least.
