EOLO

Eolo, a Relais & Châteaux property

Eolo is a spacious, secluded Patagonian estancia set within a magnificent estate nestled between valley and mountain. Its 17 suites, offering striking views, welcome you to discover Los Glaciares National Park and the thunderous crashes of the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. Eolo is the Patagonian soul blended with the charm and refinement of Relais & Châteaux. Located 30 minutes from El Calafate, Eolo is situated in the heart of a 4,000-hectare estate. This comfortable estancia offers its guests 17 suites with magnificent views of the steppe, Lago Argentino, the Anita Valley, or, in the distance, Torres del Paine. The restaurant serves refined cuisine featuring typical regional produce that delights visitors' palates. An intimate and tranquil atmosphere prevails in this lodge, which serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area, such as the spectacular Los Glaciares National Park and its magical glaciers. Do not miss an excursion to the Perito Moreno, with its huge blocks of ice breaking off and crashing into the lake amidst deafening roars. After busy days, you will relish a swim in the heated indoor pool or a moment of relaxation in the lodge's sauna. Eolo closes its doors from May to September.
