El Castillo Hotel Fabrega is unique option to stay in Valle Hermoso, Córdoba, Argentina. Hotel is known for being one of the country’s oldest and most historic hotels. Built in 1870, the structure began as a farmhouse on the "Las Playas" estate before being transformed into a luxurious retreat. Its medieval-inspired Florentine architecture—complete with battlements and watchtowers—sets it apart from modern accommodations, making it both a historical and architectural treasure.

Initially a private mansion, which later became the Monte Olivo Hotel in the early 20th century, hosting prominent guests amid its opulent interiors. Over time, it served as a union retreat and summer camp before falling into disrepair. In the early 2000s, the Fabrega family meticulously restored the property, bringing it back to its former glory as a 5-star hotel.

Today, El Castillo blends its historical charm with luxurious modern amenities. You can choose from 40 rooms, 5 suites, and extensive grounds featuring indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, tennis courts, and even a wine cellar. For entertainment, the hotel offers everything from hiking and horseback riding in the surrounding Sierras to in-house facilities like a home theater, art studio, and a game room.

With its unique history, picturesque location, and comprehensive services, El Castillo Hotel Fabrega is  a journey into Argentina’s past and a good opportunity for relaxation and adventure.
