We visited Solar during our trip trough Salta and Jujuy. We had high hopes after reading all the great reviews here and were not at all dissapointed. What a great place! Generous sized room and bathroom, good beds, clean, great food. But what makes it special is the attention for all the details. Everything is beautifully decorated and made after... More

We loved our stay at Solar del Tropico and found it to be an idyllic place. Analia and Remy have created something wonderful here. We (four of us) spent 4 nights there and 3 whole days. The setting in the mountains is amazing with changing light morning/evening and the garden was magical, full as it was of beautiful cosmeas, hollyhocks... More

Excellent recommendation from our hotel in Salta to stay here! Friendly hosts and great food. Beautiful garden. Road a bit rough (better with 4x4) but good signs.

Solar del Tropico is sublime. First, the location is incredibly peaceful. I have never seen the Milky Way in such clarity. The surrounding mountains inspire awe. The accommodations are spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated artistically in a way that fits the desert setting. It was all done by artist Remy. They were quick to fire up the wood-burning stoves whenever... More

Solar del Tropico is a small hotel managed by the owners which prepare a wonderfull dinner in the evenig with organic vegetables from the own finca. The rooms with private bathroom are located around a small patio with view of the surrounding mountains. There is also a well designed room for relaxing, breakfast and dinner. Everything is clean and comfortable.... More

I spent 5 days at the Solar del Tropico with a friend in the end of May. We were delighted by this stay at every level. The place is magic and aspires to the peace (moreover, it’s eco-friendly). The owners are a couple of artists : he is a painter and she is a photographer. The welcome was warm and... More

We came here to stay for a couple of days, but changed our mind and left after two nights. The reason was poor/unfriendly service and we didn't feel welcome at all. The place is very well located (nice views, but dirty garden full of dog pooh) and the rooms are nice (with cosy wood oven). However, the owners were really... More

We do not understand this client. We worked as always we do, trying to achieve our goals offering a good service: comfortable rooms, steam, cleaning, silence to rest, good food. We were as always sociable but the barrier of the language (we do not speak German) made impossible for us to share with him, but yes we did with his... More

For a number of reasons we were not amused by our stay here. First our arrival. The owner 'forgot' to mention that the road had been smashed away by the river (Rio Grande) a month earlier. We could only go there via a track which was actually only suited for a 4x4. Finding the place was a crime. Remy should... More

In Argentina not all the streets have pavement, before and after these people we had tourists arriving to Solar del Tropico by the same way without conveniences (rocky road of 1 km long aprox). They had rented cars or of their own, none of these were 4X4. Some people suffer mountainsickness (AMS) others don’t because it’s a physiological issue. We... More

What a smashing place to stay! We arrived tired from travelling & seeing sites and were made very welcome by Analia & Remy. The views from this hotel were outstanding and you knew that you were in an oasis of peace. It is on the otherside of the river from the village. Remy is a fine chef and it is... More
