Located in the historic center of Cafayate, just one block from the main square, Vieja Posada invites guests to discover a unique multispace where hospitality, gastronomy, and culture come together. Surrounded by patios, galleries, and lush gardens, this charming complex unites two 19th-century mansions —the original Vieja Posada and Casa Lávaque— both part of Cafayate’s architectural and cultural heritage.
The story of Vieja Posada is closely linked to the town’s history: it was originally an educational establishment and later became a gathering place for local weavers and artisans known as “La Tejeduría.” Casa Lávaque, on the other hand, was once the residence of Pedro Lávaque, a Syrian-Lebanese immigrant and visionary who brought the first electric generator to the Calchaquí Valley.
The restoration project began in 2005 with the aim of preserving the spirit and identity of these historic buildings while transforming them into a space that harmoniously blends history, art, and contemporary design. The result is a warm, peaceful environment that invites relaxation and reflects the fusion of native, colonial, and modern styles.
Vieja Posada offers several accommodation options:
• Classic Double (up to 2 guests)
• Superior Double (up to 2 guests)
• Superior Triple (up to 3 guests)
• Duplex Quadruple (up to 4 guests)
Each room combines art and history within a contemporary native design, surrounded by green courtyards and galleries that create a true oasis in the center of Cafayate.
The gastronomic area invites guests to savor the authentic flavors of Andean cuisine in a cozy atmosphere, complemented by Cafayate wines and live music on weekends. The restaurant also hosts personalized social and corporate events in collaboration with La Salamanca cooking school, led by chef Lalo Angelina. The gourmet shop features a fine ion of tea blends, plant-based coffees, organic herbs, preserves, and spices from the Calchaquí Valley.
Vieja Posada also provides comfortable spaces for events and meetings, including workshops, corporate training sessions, and private celebrations. It is a place where art, history, and hospitality come together to create a memorable experience in the heart of Cafayate.
Nearby attractions: the main square, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Museum of Vine and Wine, and the renowned wineries of the Calchaquí Valley —perfect for wine tourism and enjoying Cafayate’s stunning landscapes.
