"PARADOR DEL TIEMPO" Posada de Campo
A countryside posada ten minutes from Bodega Finca Agostino
About this hotel
Parador del Tiempo takes the posada de campo format literally: a countryside stay set along Rivadavia's canal roads, roughly ten minutes by taxi from Bodega Finca Agostino and within reach of Mendoza's airport at under an hour. It doesn't carry the amenity list of the larger hotels in this shortlist, and that's the point, a simpler, quieter base for travelers whose priority is the wine route rather than an amenity-dense hotel stay. Public review volume is modest, which fits a smaller, more locally run property rather than a chain operation. It works best as one stop on a wider Zona Este circuit, taken alongside the more amenity-rich stays nearby rather than as a destination on its own.
- Countryside posada setting
- Near Bodega Finca Agostino
- Under an hour from the airport
- Locally run property
Our take
This suits travelers who want a genuinely rural posada experience over a hotel with a longer amenity list, and who don't mind arranging their own transport to bodegas. The ten-minute taxi to Bodega Finca Agostino keeps it within reasonable reach of the wine route. Travelers who want a pool, spa or on-site restaurant should look toward Casa Agostino or Tótem Hotel & Spa instead, since this posada is built around simplicity rather than amenities.
- Arrange a taxi to Bodega Finca Agostino ahead of time rather than expecting to find one along the canal road
- Confirm meal arrangements directly, since a smaller posada like this may not run a full restaurant
- Book with realistic expectations of a simple, quiet countryside stay rather than a full-service hotel
Why we love it
- A genuine countryside posada setting
- Ten minutes from Bodega Finca Agostino
- Quieter and more local than Rivadavia's hotels
- Reasonable reach of Mendoza's airport
Why guests love itWe wanted something quieter than the bigger hotels in the area and Parador del Tiempo delivered that: a simple countryside posada with a short taxi to Bodega Finca Agostino when we wanted a tasting. There's no pool or spa to speak of, and that suited what we were after. Arranging the taxi ourselves each time was the one extra step compared to staying somewhere with more amenities built in.
