We spent 1 night with Kitty and Horatio, then decided to return for 2 more nights on our driving loop from and to Bariloche. The hosts were so personable, friendly, and most helpful. They welcomed us with open arms on our return visit. The road up from El Bolson was winding, but afforded a beautiful view of the valley from... More

After reading all of the other great reviews....we could not agree more. This wonderful B&B is off the beaten path but easy enough to get to . The Buena Vida is located high up a hillside that overlooks the town of El Bolson... a beautiful location. It is very easy to understand why Horatio and Kitty were drawn to this... More

We drove from the northern lake region, passed Bariloche and headed south to El Bolson. We had no idea where this place was exactly, no address and no directions. There is no real address, so we asked a stranger on the street if they could make the phone call for us (we had no cell). We thought Bolson was small... More

We spent 3 nights with Horatio and Kitty in their lovely B&B and they could not have been more welcoming. The B&B is out of the main town and up on the hillside which means it has great views across the valley and is a good base for the sculptured forest and Cerro Piltriquitron mountain. The breakfasts were amazing and... More

On a side trip from Bariloche, we decided to visit the El Bolson market and spend a night at the Buena Vida Social Club B&B. The market was great, but quite hot and hectic (Jan 2013) so our delight was immense when we arrived at the B&B located up higher on a forested quiet and cooler hill overlooking the town.... More

What a lovely stay dit we have! The owners are very friendly and helpful and they cook the most beautiful breakfasts (especially the pancakes with banana, walnut and dulce de leche!). We had a lovely new years-eve on the mountain!

We spent part of our honeymoon in El Bolson with Horacio & Kitty - 3 nights to be exact. The view from the B & B was picturesque...speechless for us as we sipped some wine on the peaceful perch on the veranda. The cab ride up the hill to the location was well worth the pesos. The breakfasts were eloquently... More

This beautiful retreat in the mountains surrounding El Bolsón is a real gem. Not only has one of the best views in the region but the rooms and overall ambiance is way above the average. Rooms are clean, the mattresses and sheets have nothing to envy 5-stars hotels and the shower’s pressure and temperature are perfect. But nothing tops the... More

Buena Vida Social Club offers a stunning view of the Andes mountains in Patagonia, and the town of El Bolson. The comfortable beds and quiet rooms with double paned glass windows create a perfect place for a peaceful night of sleep. The showers have hot water and great pressure. The night sky is bright with stars and the Milky Way.... More

Kitty and Horacio are the type of people that give humans a good name! We stayed at this fine establishment in February 2012 and it was outstanding. Yeah it's not in the centre of town and a bit of a drive but all the better for it. The place is beautiful and what a view. We were hypnotised each morning... More
