Charming’s owner Alberto has managed to intuitively build a hotel that reflects the serenity of the surroundings, the intimacy of lodge living, and all equipped with an exceptional standard of modern luxuries.

Spread over a forested cliff on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi the hotel, restaurant and almost every room looks out onto a wide expanse of blue water, the sweeping wooded valleys and snow-peaked Andes of Argentina’s Patagonian Lake District. Standing on the decking the air is alpine fresh and scented with the smell of Cypress trees that crowd the shores.

You have the choice of three different types of lodgings: 4 classes of suites, some with their own private spa, Jacuzzi, sauna and aromatherapy room not to mention lake views, private terraces and a home theatre. There are also 2 types of apartments, most with the same spoiling amount of amenities as well as wood fireplaces. A great option for families or groups are the 4 villas which enjoy delightful privacy, have their own individual spas, fully-equipped kitchens and home theatres.

What’s more, set in the heart of Argentina’s Lake District and only 7km from Bariloche with the Cerro Catedral ski resort only a little bit further, the lodge and its location offers a bountiful choice of activities and tours to the surrounding sites from yoga classes to boar hunting. Alternatively the lodge’s luxury spa offers massages and beauty treatments.

The restaurant specialises in fine Patagonian cuisine which is quite superb.
