Patagonia Villa La Aguada
A private Patagonian retreat surrounded by nature
La Aguada is an elegant country property in El Bolsón, Río Negro, surrounded by gardens, mature trees and expansive mountain scenery. The estate occupies approximately three hectares and is located around 1.5 kilometres from the centre of El Bolsón, only a short distance from National Route 40.
The property looks toward Cerro Piltriquitrón and the mountains of the Comarca Andina. Its location provides a quiet countryside atmosphere while remaining close enough to town for restaurants, shops, local markets and tourism services.
The main house covers approximately 450 square metres. Its interiors combine wooden floors, large windows, warm textiles, decorative lighting and carefully selected furnishings. Natural light and garden views are central elements throughout the house.
Living room, dining room and common areas
The villa’s principal social area integrates the living room, dining room and kitchen. The living room has several comfortable sofas, a large central table and windows overlooking the grounds. The official gallery also shows a fireplace in the living and dining area, although the website does not confirm whether guests may operate it.
The dining area includes a substantial table suitable for shared breakfasts, family meals and group dinners. Chandeliers, exposed ceiling beams, wooden floors and surrounding windows give the room a refined country-house character.
A fully equipped kitchen is included for guests who prefer to prepare meals at the villa. The current full-villa listing also identifies a washing machine as part of the accommodation. The exact inventory of appliances, such as an oven, dishwasher, microwave or coffee machine, is not publicly specified and should be confirmed directly.
Bedrooms and sleeping arrangements
The current La Aguada Luxus Villa Experience listing presents the accommodation as a three-bedroom villa sleeping up to eight guests. Its published bed configuration is unusual because it lists eight individual beds across the three bedrooms:
| Bedroom | Published sleeping arrangement |
|---|---|
| Bedroom 1 | Two single beds |
| Bedroom 2 | Two single beds and one double bed |
| Bedroom 3 | Two single beds and one double bed |
| Total | Eight beds, maximum capacity of eight guests |
The official La Aguada website describes the main house as having four guest rooms, all with queen-size beds, television and Starlink satellite Wi-Fi. It separately identifies Classic, Superior and Deluxe room categories. This suggests that the estate may offer more than one layout depending on whether rooms are reserved separately or the property is rented as a villa.
The Superior Room is located on the upper level and includes a main sleeping area, the possibility of adding as many as two single beds, a sitting area, a full bathroom and two balconies with mountain views.
The Deluxe Room measures approximately 55 square metres. It includes a double bed, a separate area with two single beds, a full bathroom with a whirlpool bath, garden views and views toward Cerro Piltriquitrón.
