Bed and Breakfast Plaza Italia

Absolutely wonderful bed and breakfast in the heart of downtown Mendoza. walking distance to great restaurants and the town square. Accommodations were perfect and the breakfast we had before our day of wine tours was fabulous. The owner of the B&B, Mercedes was the most delightful woman. Would recommend this B&B highly

We were two couples from Australia, unfortunately the B&B was fully booked when we wanted to go, but we still used Javier for fantastic day tour of Uco valley. Even though we did not stay there Javier helped us with tips where to stay, organized an airport pick up as part of the tour price. He gave great restaurant tips and help for places to go for another day tasting on our own in Lujan de Cujo. I should review more as I use trip advisor but had to review Javier's wine tour as he was excellent.

What a love Bed and Breakfast! Mercedes and Javier were so welcoming. There were five adults in our group, so we had the second floor to ourselves. The rooms were very nice and there was a sitting area on the landing where we could gather. The rooms were cleaned daily and the breakfast was delicious. The Plaza Italia is centrally located and the area is very walkable. Javier recommended nearby restaurants of which there are many. |We booked a private wine tour with Javier, which I strongly recommend doing.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay here! The hotel is perfectly located as a home base to explore Mendoza. Even though we asked for help last minute to tour wineries, Javier made plans for us that were wonderful. There are also plenty of great restaurants that Javier recommended within walking distance.

This is the perfect place to stay when visiting Mendoza! Javier was very helpful with helping us plan visits to wineries last minute and gave us great local restaurant recommendations. The hotel is centrally located, very cozy, and the stay is super accommodating.

We spent five nights at the Plaza Italia on our trip to Mendoza. What a great experience! ||The BnB is immaculate, with old world style and new world service. Javier and his team too such great care of us! The room was clean, comfortable and we felt like we were home. ||Javier also provided us with a wine tour one day and was always available as a resource for our needs, from dining suggestions to exchanging dollars to suggestions for other wine tours. Top notch service.||We can not recommend Plaza Italia enough!

We loved our stay at Plaza Italia B&B. From the moment that Mercedes opened the door, we felt at home. The home is beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The check-in process is very personal and Mercedes was very enthusiastic in showing us on the map places to go and explore in Mendoza. The room was clean and comfortable, it had outlets for American electronics, which made it so convenient as we didn’t have any adapters with us. Javier also provides tours to the vineyards & tasting rooms (bodegas) and thanks to him, we were able to enjoy two bodegas we wanted to visit. For an experience in Mendoza from locals, I happily recommend this place 🤗

We made B&B Plaza Italia our home base for 10 days while visiting Mendoza and the surrounding area. It was perfect for this because of it's central location and because if one needs transportation to remote activities (like horseback riding, wine tours, and the incomparable Termas de Cacheuta (hot springs) most of these offer transportation from the downtown area. The B&B is also within easy walking distance of numerous interesting shops plus literally hundreds of restaurants and wine bars, some with live music. The usual travel precautions apply anywhere of course, but unlike many cities worldwide today, we felt completely safe here when walking around, day or night.||The accommodations were spacious and impeccably clean, breakfast is provided for a good start to the day, which we then augmented with an enjoyable and leisurely espresso each morning at one of the nearby sidewalk cafes while we planned our day.||Javier and his mother Mercedes, as well as the staff were wonderful and provided us with all sorts of useful tips when we asked. And if you're looking for a premium wine tour, you will not go wrong asking Javier to take you. He has been doing these tours for years and knows all the best places. His tour for us was to the Valle de Uco where we visited 3 wineries and had a wonderful lunch. And because we had some more detailed questions about the wine business in Argentina, he arranged a special meeting for us the next day with a personal friend who is one of the preeminent winemakers of the region. Be sure to book early with him though. He's a right popular guy and his tour days fill quickly depending on the season!||All in all, a wonderful experience and introduction to Mendoza. This was our first time visiting, but it certainly won't be the last. And if you have any doubts at all about visiting Mendoza because of the news stories saying how bad it is in Argentina, don't worry at all. This is a fabulous country with great people, excellent food and wine and lots to see and do. There is a near complete disconnect between the news stories we read before going and the reality. We're sure that you'll enjoy your trip here it as much as we did.

Great place to base your trip to Mendoza wine country. The hotel is right in the heart of Mendoza on the Plaza Italia. Very well kept, the common areas are nice and the rooms are as well. Mercedes is a lovely innkeeper, very knowledgeable about the local area. Her house rules may seem too strict for newbies, but I think it's just because she takes an awful lot of pride in her property. Great location overall though.

While the physical accommodations may not be luxurious, Javier, the hotelier of Plaza Italia is definately superb, and the location in downtown Mendoza is good. We booked a one-day excursion to the Uco Valley with Javier, who personally drove us all day. Here is where the excellence comes in: I am a Foodie and enophile, and I wanted to taste the renowned Malbec wines of Mendoza. With a visit to three separate wineries and a lunch, all included. While the lunch was excellent, I was a bit disappointed at the age of the wines offered. In view of this, Javier scheduled an additional trip to the second wine growing area of Mendoza at no additional cost. These wines were exactly what I was looking for and I greatly appreciate the effort. Javier and his mother Mercedes are excellent hosts and we highly recommend them.

When Mercedes said "welcome home", we truly felt like we were home. When we arrived, Mercedes gave us a map with things to do, restaurants to eat at and a brief history of the city. Every recommendation was fabulous...excellent food, good prices and great service. The family home is so inviting. Walking through the living room to the breakfast area through to the patio...you feel as though you could have grown up there. Centrally located. Close to restaurants, shops and parks. A MUST DO - request a wine tour from Mercedes' son and business partner, Javier. He provided an amazing wine experience. It started with a lesson about the vines at Angel Mendoza's vineyard. Second, we learned about the wine making process from Patricio at Ricardo Santos winery. Next we stopped for lunch. This was not a typical lunch. 5 course meal pared with fabulous wines at Ruca Malen. After lunch, we made our last stop at Caelum. Javier was a pleasure to spend the day with and a wonderful tour guide. Thank you Javier and Mercedes. Staying at Plaza Italia is a must! Tom and Rushelle
