quinta Anabtawi is very varied and very enjoyable!

Quinta Anabtawi is not a B&B, it's your private resort. Other than our Beagle 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 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 and sightseeing. I strive very hard to ensure your stay is as comfortable and private as possible.

  • April 1-7, 2009 Riyad, Thank you again for a wonderful week here at Quinta Anabtawi! You have created such a beautiful environment and we enjoyed every moment from sitting by the pool to our nightly asados! Homero has been a wonderful companion and the fresh eggs every day have been just delicious! It has been such a luxury to have such a beautiful (and large!!) outdoor space just to ourselves and we certainly would love to come back! You have been such a gracious host from organizing bike rentals to arranging wine tours and we truly appreciate it. Some of our recommendations for future guests: - We spent a fantastic day wine tasting in the UCO valley and would highly recommend it. We hired a wonderful driver from Mendoza who picked us up here at the villa in the morning and took us to the three wineries we had chosen (he handles the reservations) We went to O. Fournier, Andeluna(highly recommended for lunch – delicious!) and La Azul. It was a perfect grouping (all a little different) and an excellent day. Marcelo(the driver) speaks excellent English (he lived in Canada for several years) and we cannot recommend him highly enough! (It was 600 pesos for the day for the 2 of us - UCO is a long drive! – closer tours are less) e-mail : marcelo.villegasAThotmailDOTcom - Bikes and Wines – Riyad arranged for us to rent bikes for the week which were dropped off and picked up at the villa. We did not have a car so this was a great way to get around! - La Vicenzia (in Chacras) – excellent empanadas! Go around Lunch or Dinner time when they are hot out of the oven! - Jebbs – obviously! Excellent bread and sweet treats – we think their alfajores are the best we’ve had in Argentina. - Local wineries: - Altavista was lovely though we missed the entrance the first time around – if you hit the main road, you’ve gone too far! - Sentiner was excellent, especially the tasting. Riyad set this tour up for us and our guide, Julia, was very good and very knowledgeable. - UCO valley wineries: - 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. It has been a wonderful holiday and we truly appreciate everything you’ve done to make this place and our stay so memorable. Warmest wishes Laura & Chris London, U.K.

  • March, 2009 A wonderful stay – too short but I guess everyone feels that! Highlights were Sunday lunch at El Patio and Monday lunch at Ruca Malen – and also just hanging out at Quinta Anabtawi. Riyad is an outstanding host – goes well beyond the call of duty in helping you have a wonderful time. Homero is adorable – a word of caution – don’t leave your shoes on the ground outside. Homero eats EVERYTHING!!! We will return when the Kiwi $ gets a bit of strength back, and stay longer. Thanks! Tim and Karen

  • February 11, 2009 Dear Riyad Here we sit on the morning of our departure, sipping our last cup of coffee and reflecting on this incredible trip to Argentina! After two and a half weeks in this glorious country, we are grateful and feel so grateful and feel so blessed for sharing this country with you and all the wonderful people of this land. The moment you greeted us at the gas station, to direct us your home, we felt your kindness, openness and gift of your hospitality. You are a wonderful man with a heart that is so wide and so gracious. Greg communicated with you for several months via the internet and we felt your willingness to help from our first e-mail. As you know we are here in Argentina for our honeymoon and what a honeymoon it has been! When you opened the magnificent gate to your Quinta Anabtawi, we were immediately transported to “Paradise” – as the gate opened, my eyes were opened even wider as we were greeted by the lush, rich and perfectly manicured “Paradise” that you have created. The pool area is beyond relaxing, the gardens are beautiful and the entire layout of your property has been created with such love, care and creativity. A few highlights from our trip to share with your guests that follow our departure: 1) The wineries are worth a day of visiting. We went to Luigi Bosca for a tour and it was terrific! Great wine tasting to follow the tour. 2) Then we went to Ruca Malen for a delightful 5 course lunch/wine pairing. This is a must if you are trying to decide which winery to visit. Excellent meal, fabulous wine, great views – sit outside! 3) We thought Francis Mallman was terrific! The setting is extremely romantic and magical. You will never believe how amazing it is inside when first pull in – keep going inside you are in for a real treat! 4) Restaurants: Don Mario, in Palmares – great steaks at a great price! 5) RELAX, RELAX, and ENJOY the pool! 6) Homero – what can we say, he is a trip! Now we call him “Don Homero”! We know we will be back and we expect to return next year. Please come to Chicago to visit us. Our doors and our hearts will always be open to you. Thank you for everything. With deep gratitude Greg and Susan Grabacki Chicago, Illinois, USA P.S. How could I forget to mention the outstanding asado – many thanks to Raul!

  • Dec 23-30 2008 From Springfield, IL USA We will no doubt think often of our time here… Considering the current state of our economy, we seriously considered canceling this trip. What a mistake that would have been. The Quinta has provided us respite and refreshment – a time to decompress and reflect on our blessings. As much as we enjoyed our various excursions (dining out, wine tours, drive to Chile, rafting), the Quinta remains far and away our most treasured experience. It is clearly a labor of love for Riyad with its beautifully landscaped & well thought out grounds. He has created something very special here and it provided a retreat unlike anything else we have ever experienced. We will miss it terribly – the asado with delightful Raul, meeting Homero’s Bart, conversations with Riyad, the generosity of his spirit & heart, his love for his son, the pool, the majestic poplars swaying against the intense blue of the Mendoza sky. All of it has been such a blessing and we leave deeply grateful. Thank you Riyad. Barry & Lucy Jensen Summer(17) & Rily(14)

  • Jan 9, 2009 What a wonderful way to usher in the New Year with friends and family at Qunita Anabtawi! Riyad, we've had a great time in your gardens, the house and the studio. Everything seemed perfect for our mix of generations and 3 couples... plenty of room to stretch out in, well equipped kitchen, refreshing pools, ball sports and even a huge clay oven along with 3 asados!. We didn't feel a pressing need to leave and tour the countryside, but our walks, the winery tours, the meals out(Ruca Malen and Francis Mallmann) were outstanding. Thanks for all the tips, the maps and the reservations. Last night we enjoyed walking down to guardia vieja street, to watch the Dakar racers roar by, then it was back to the Quinta for oven baked pizza chased down with a flight of Jerome microbrews. Then the night before .... the Asado!. Thanks much to you and Raul and Homero for such fine company and the introduction to a true ritual. In sum, a stellar week. Thank you for all your help and genuine hospitality. I look forward to a rematch (Ping Pong) soon!. Boyd What a great spot! We had a wonderful time here at the Quinta. Homero was the perfect companion while lounging poolside, playing cards on the patio or our meals at the clay oven. Riyad was a great host in what was all in all a fantastic vacation. Brett The Quinta is so nice it makes you want to spend all your time here. But when we got the courage to leave, we were greeted by beautiful vistas, great wines and of course the best steaks I have ever had. Riyad was so helpful in telling us about the best wineries and restaurants and making reservations for us. It was certainly an experience I will not forget. Jeff

  • Dec 13-18 2008 Our stay at Quinta was unforgettable and very relaxing. The security blanket and helpfulness of Riyad being a phone call away was priceless. Our five days here have been the highlight of our month in Argentina. We will miss this amazing oasis and of course Homero. Mostly we spent our time enjoying the quietness of the Quinta, since we are now heading into Mendoza for a few days and here are our ratings: 1) Terrazas de Los Andes Rating: Not very good tour or wine. 2) Ruca Malen Rating: amazing lunch (they even did one vegetarian for us) 3) Carlos Pulenta: Rating: great tour and very good wine. Thank you for everything! We hope to be back for a longer stay. Lisa and Ryan Boulder, Colorado

  • Dear Riyad We couldn’t ask for a better finale to our visit to Argentina than a four day escape to your Eden at Quinta Anabtawi! You have thought of everything from a few DVD’s and a soccer ball for the boys to helping arrange our brief itinerary to local wineries and Aconcagua. Highlights of our stay (in no particular order): - Homero, your “PR” perro – always at our doorway each morning with tail wagging. - The swimming pool – so restful. - The pond where the boys caught more fish than we will be able to count (and of course released) - Lunch at Ruca Malen (not to be missed)! - Hiking the loop at Parque Aconcagua on a sunny, cloudless day, a blue-green lake and azur skies. To top everything was the last night’s asado coordinated by Riyad and the master chef Raul. No BBQ will ever be the same. Riyad, your hospitality and Quinta will live in our memories forever! You and Quinta Anabtawi will be on our next itinerary. Only next time we want to stay at least one week! Cheers! Gary, Mary Ann, Ben and Jack San Diego, CA.

  • March, 2008. There is no place like the Quinta…but now we must head home. It’s been an amazing month – that went by way too quickly! The Quinta has been the highlight of our trip – a true gem. The house and grounds are top notch. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay while discovering the beautiful wine region of Mendoza. Riyad is by far the most helpful host we have ever encountered in our travels. We pestered him for 6 months before we got here – and again for the month we were here. Let’s just say we’ve been “high maintenance” visitors. Yet, Riyad delivered on everything AND MORE! Riyad’s asado night is such a treat. Raul is definitely a master when it comes to preparing the feast (he’s great company, too). Our attempts at asado didn’t produce quite the same results – “blackened” describes it best! But we did manage to conquer the pizza oven and produced some lovely creations – in literally minutes! Smokey and delicious. And yes, Homero, the ear-flapping dog, is a loveable as everyone says. He’ll steal your heart with his big brown eyes waiting for you at the door every morning as you open the curtains. He’s been great company and earns his keep as one of the best PR guys we’ve ever met! How many pictures did we take of him?! Some great wineries to visit in the area – although if you’re driving be prepared to go around in circles a few times before finding the places. The street signs and published maps can be “slightly” misleading. Riyad. Thank you so much for making our time in Argentina so memorable. We would highly recommend your Quinta to anyone. We truly appreciate all your time and effort making us comfortable here, answering our many questions, setting up reservations and helping us out when we got lost. It’s been a pleasure meeting you and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with you (who knew the expats lunch would last 8 hours!) Gracias por todo amigo. We wish you well. Norman Parsons and Laura Philips. Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

  • January 6, 2008 Our stay at the quinta was outstanding – its tranquility is the perfect contrast to the fast paced BA experience. Riyad is a knowledgeable ambassador to Mendoza and a wonderful and interesting person that we truly enjoyed getting to know. The Quinta experience surpasses anything possible within the confines of a standard hotel accommodation, highlighted by an authentic Argentinean BBQ prepared by Riyad’s humorous and loveable amigo Raul. MAGNIFICENT!! You turned two vegetarians into meat-eaters for an evening! Homer was a spectacular pal – well mannered and adorable. We want to take him home! Jonathan & Amy Malen David Deming & Janine Santimauro. San Francisco, CA P.S. Call us if you’re in SF. Bring Raul and Homer too. And Bart!

  • The occasion of our visit was to celebrate Christmas together as a family following my 21 year old's ascent to the summit of Aconcagua. When he and his friend returned they stayed for 3 nights in the lovely studio apartment, while my sister-in-law, niece and I stayed in the quinta for 11 nights total. It was a very relaxing vacation. Riyad, Raul and Mario made our stay so stress-free. With their help we were able to grill out 2 nights and another night we shared a barbecue with them. They offered us a lot of help in getting situated and arranging for reservations. The pool was beautiful and refreshing and the fresh eggs and fruit were delightful. I would love to go back someday and take my husband. I rented a car and feel very capable of getting around to any of the local sites, including driving up to the Aconcagua National Park. Because others had booked for the last night we would be in Mendoza, Riyad arranged for us to go to a nice, two bedroom apartment he manages for our final night. It was very convenient and close to the airport. I highly recommend the quinta as your Mendoza destination.
