Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America (Recoleta one block from park) View Map
Accommodations: Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
This stunning penthouse apartment is located in the heart of Recoleta in one of the best neighborhoods of the city. Equal in luxury to the presidential suite at the nearby Alvear Palace but larger and more convenient. In fact, we believe this is a bargain since the Alvear Palace is charging u$s 2,000- $3,000 per NIGHT for a smaller suite. This 200 square meter (2,152 square feet) gem is sure to please even the most demanding taste.
The apartment has two master suites; each with its own marble bath and Jacuzzi. The bath fixtures are even gilded with gold, bronze and silver. A large maid’s quarters and bath are furnished with bunk beds to accommodate a family with children.
There is a large eat-in kitchen as well as a formal dining room with upholstered walls, crystal chandelier and silk drapery. There are two elevators, one for you and your guests and one for service which enters into the kitchen.
The entry hall as well as the rest of the home is furnished with beautiful antiques and fine art. All hardwood floors and exquisite crown molding throughout the home take you back to the turn of the century Buenos Aires opulence.
The salon is large and well lighted with floor to ceiling window-doors opening to small balconies overlooking the streets below. Custom tailored silk window-dressings and ornate hardware adds beautiful framing to these large openings. French doors open into a small office that is high speed Internet ready.
This apartment was completely recently refurbished to take you back to a time of elegance around the turn of the century and yet it has the latest in infrastructure. All new plumbing, electric and even central heating and air conditioning, which is unheard of in old apartments in Buenos Aires.
Telephone service, two TV’s and Internet are all ready for your arrival. There is even a car garage just downstairs where you can keep you car while staying here.
Just downstairs from your apartment you will find many of the finest restaurants Buenos Aires has to offer. The nearby park is one of the Porteños favorite. At any time night or day you will find people walking about and enjoying this special part of the city.
Over 60 restaurants are within three blocks and you are just a short walk to many of Buenos Aires finest museums such as the museum of fine arts and the Recoleta cultural center.

Why the Owner Chose Buenos Aires
My wife and I bought this apartment and renovated it completely with the plan to use it regularly. Unfortunately our time permits an occasional visit every two years or so. We love BA and have enjoyed the time we do get to spend here.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
This is a luxury property and one that we have tried to bring back to what life would be like around the turn of the last century. It is close to everything including at least 50 restaurants within a few blocks. We love the park activities every weekend with it flea market full of great arts and crafts.
This Cemetery is one of the most famous in BA. You can spend hours just walking through the many beautiful mausoleums here.
This park always has activities. Artists, dancers, living statues and much more. the weekends turn into an incredible arts and crafts market
There must be 12 or more theaters here along with a huge food court and other entertainment.
There are about 4 blocks of wonderful restaurants with outdoor cafes. There are dozens more within a few blocks of the apartment. There are several take outs just down stairs from the apartment and ma
This is a fantastic shopping area for anything and everything for the home. Very chic and euro styles.
Plan to spend a day or more here. Incredible art. We always go back every time we are in BA
