What can I say...we were not at all shocked when we recently learned that Casa Glebinius was just awarded tripadvisors "South American Hidden Gem" title! This place is just amazing! Each Casa is totally unique and every detail was meticulously chosen by Alberto and Marie Gracia, (the owners) to provide their guests with a charmingly warm and comfortable retreat. Our family rented the two one bedroom apartments and both units were designed and decorated in a manor that made me feel I was in a french cottage (the owners are from Argentina but lived in France for 7 years and their love of French culture is obvious). While the three guest casa's (a fourth is under construction) are relatively close to one another, they are designed so that each is very quiet and private.

The grounds are large and peaceful, with a plethora of color from the varied trees and landscape choices. The pool is lovely and there are a number of places scattered around the grounds for guests to lounge, play cards, or take a meal outside.

While the accommodations were wonderful, the hospitality made the visit one of our most pleasant during our month of travels. Alberto, Marie Gracia and their three adult children, Florencia, Gabriele, and Martin were more than helpful, they made us feel like old friends that were merely visiting. They were warm, informative, and went out of their way to help us arrange activities in the area.

They also went above and beyond by inviting all of their guests to participate in Christmas Eve dinner. Since we have never spent Christmas away from family and friends this was a much appreciated gesture and was a fun (and delicious!) way to celebrate the holiday. It was quite fun to be sitting at the long dinner table in their garden, hearing conversations taking place in English, Spanish, French and German! Gabriele bar-b-q'd in the traditional Argentina way (asada) and there was an abundance of beef, pork, choriso and blood sausage to accompany the fabulous meal of salads and potatoes.

The town of Chacras is quaint, with tree lined streets, many excellent restaurants and several nice shops.

There are many activities in the area. We rented bikes one day and just took leisurely rides around town and in the wine county surrounding the area. Another day we went zip lining (they call it canopy in Argentina), and another day we visited several wineries. If you book the zip-lining activity we don't suggest you also book trekking on the same trip. We did and had to wait 2 hours between the two activities. Plus, the trekking was not very long and it was combined with a repelling activity. Since we didn't book the repelling activity we had to sit there and watch while others repelled (we would rather have been hiking).

We can't say enough about Casa Glebinius and we HIGHLY recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this oasis and regretted leaving after only 3 nights. Our knowledgeable hosts went to no end of trouble securing reservations at wineries or restaurants and to be in the lovely garden replete with pets was a home away from home.
The accommodations were super, so much so that we ate in our cottage (or in the garden) two out of the three evenings.
Alberto also organized a rental car to come to us rather than us find it as, having arrived on a sunday, both airport and city rental desks were closed. Maria Gracias delivered breakfast on a tray each morning with pastries etc and fresh squeezed orange juice. We would return in a heartbeat.
p.s. for those of you who may be concerned about being intruded upon - relax. These generous hosts leave you completely alone if that is what you wish or are helpful and informative if that is what you prefer.
oh and wi-fi everywhere.

Well what can we say - Casa Glebinias is a little gem nestled among the tranquil countryside of Chacras de Coria. There really isn't much more that I can add to what the other reviewers have posted, except to reinforce what a wonderful experience we had during our 2-night stay between Christmas & New Year. Highly recommended!!

My family of four stayed at the Casa Glebinias in late December 2007. The accomodiations were excellent. If you are looking to relax, then enjoy the garden, breakfasts and most importantly the hosts. Alberto and Maria Gracia were most helpful, speaking so many languages including English well. Alberto arranged many details for us. Due to the high season demand for drivers and cars, he lent us his car and son who is a wine maker for a winery tour. It does not get better than this. This is a very good place to be comfortable.
