Question 1

Should you rent a villa or an apartment in Argentina?

Accepted Answer

Rent an apartment for city stays of one to four people, where you'll be out most of the day and location matters more than square metres. Rent a villa from about six travelers upward, or whenever the pool, garden and kitchen are part of the holiday rather than a base for it.

Question 2

Are villas in Argentina staffed?

Accepted Answer

Many higher-end villas in Mendoza and the Buenos Aires countryside include a caretaker and cleaning, with a cook or asador available at extra cost. Always confirm what's included before booking rather than assuming.

Question 3

Is a villa cheaper than several apartments?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes for groups of six or more, once you account for a shared kitchen, a pool and no per-room premium. Below six, separate apartments in the same building are often the cheaper answer.

Question 4

Do apartments in Buenos Aires have air conditioning?

Accepted Answer

Modern and renovated units generally do; older Belle Epoque flats sometimes cool only the bedrooms. It matters between December and February, so check the listing explicitly.
