Buenos DÃas, Buenos Aires: 5 Days, $500
As if there weren’t already enough to see and do in Buenos Aires, we’ve just found a hotel that will put the best of Argentina right at your doorstep.
Teresita’s Bed &Breakfast, editor’s pick at Sherman’s Travel, one of Trip Advisor’s Top 5 B&Bs, and a foodie’s dream vacation spot, offers the privacy of home-style lodging and the unbeatable hospitality of Argentina – for only $55 a night. Added bonus: as the weather cools down here, it’s heating up in the Southern hemisphere. Located 30 minutes from downtown Buenos Aires, Teresita’s is close enough to all the amenities of the city to be convenient, but far enough away to provide the peace and quiet of a typical Argentinean town.
And what can you do during your five-day stay with all your extra cash? Well, by staying at the B&B you get access to cooking classes ($45 per person), where you can witness Teresita herself whip up her very own secret recipe for the perfect empanadas or Chimichurri sauce. For the more ambitious, you can check out Teresita’s Culinary Tour($150 per person), where you’ll get the low-down of the best food and wine that Buenos Aires has to offer.
And when you’re in desperate need of a way to work off those hearty home-cooked meals? They’ll also help you book tango lessons ($25/hour).
You’ll still have to head to your favorite travel search engine for the best deals on flights to get there, but as far as an affordable place to stay, you’re covered. Delicious food, fun activities in the country responsible for dulce de leche (thanks for that, Argentina) – not to mention shopping and sight-seeing in downtown Buenos Aires to boot? This goes on our “to travel” list now.
