El Casco Art is a very stylish property only 15 minutes from Bariloche itself, making it a great choice if you want a reliably luxurious base in the Lakes District that is also nice and accessible from the airport and plenty of fantastic local dining options for some variety. Art lovers will appreciate the collections of artwork and sculptures dotted around the property and its gardens, which is owned by a renowned Argentine art collector. The lakeside setting is wonderful too and it offers a really great level of comfort and service at a much more affordable price than some of the more iconic properties in the region.

The rooms are furnished in muted tones and classic dark wood accents and all have huge windows to soak up the lake and mountain views all around. The focal point for some R&R is the great sized indoor / outdoor heated pool surrounded by a beautiful terrace and extensive spa facilities including sauna, steam room and gym. Their restaurant is also a great choice in the area with plenty of local specialities including lake fish, beautifully presented and a good selection of wines. They can arrange bike rental if you wish to explore along the lakes or head into town.
