and relaxed, this likeable hostel has good dorms featuring sturdy bunk beds with plenty
of headroom. The attached restaurant is romantically lit but more hit-and-miss.
Camping Municipal CAMPGROUND, HOSTEL $
( 491902; [e-mail]; campsites per person AR$30-40, dm/cabin
AR$30/250; ) On a hill southwest of the plaza, this offers shaded sites with barbecues

Miraluna APARTMENTS $$$
( 458002; www.miraluna.com.ar ; La Aguada; apt for 2/4 AR$650/950, large apt for 4 AR$1050;
) Seven kilometers from town in the hamlet of La Aguada, these beautifully
romantic, rustic cabins come in three sizes and have a spectacular, fabulously peaceful
setting in a working vineyard surrounded by breathtaking mountain and valley views.
Breakfast features tasty home-baked bread, and other light meals are available. You can
also help yourself to vegetables from the organic garden.
El Cortijo BOUTIQUE HOTEL $$$
( 491034; www.elcortijohotel.com ; Av ACA s/n; s/d AR$440/555; ) Opposite the ACA
Hostería Cachi entrance, this stylish small hotel offers rooms that aren't large but are
decorated with finesse, and some - particularly 'Los Padres.' with its own private terrace
with loungers (doubles AR$660) - have fabulous views of the sierra. There's also an ex-
cellent on-site restaurant and helpful staff. Good value.
ACA Hostería Cachi HOTEL $$$
( 491105; www.soldelvalle.com.ar ; Av ACA s/n; s/d AR$475/710; ) With its hilltop
position, this family friendly hotel has the best views in town, and there are worse ways
to spend your day than relaxing poolside checking them out. Rooms are unexciting but
picturesquely surround a patio; the grassy grounds are great and there's even a little farm
zoo.
