I was blown away by Montevideo this past November. It has that bohemian, artsy vibe that I love about San Telmo but you feel like you are in a beach town. I’d been through the city a number of times on my way to the beaches further east, but I...
From our favorite food blogger ever, I’m reposting her long and fabulous list of great restaurants in Lima, Peru. Because Allie is our favorite food blogger and because Lima!!! We are dying to go there (and eat there). In Love with Lima Part 1:...
Argentina has made it to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 1990. Are you going to watch the match against The Netherlands today? If so, find an Argentine flag (that shouldn’t be hard to do since it’s also July 9, w...
It’s been a year of big changes over here at San Telmo Loft. Not a lot of blogging has happened, but our vacation rentals in Buenos Aires have been running full steam ahead. And we are excited about some fabulous additions coming soon. One ch...
The iconic Loft, our first vacation rental, is how our story begins. It had to match the vibe of San Telmo, and it does: bohemian, soulful, loved. It's our most romantic spot (honeymoon haven), and, like our other vacation rentals, quiet, stylish, a...
Every summer, the city of Buenos Aires puts on a fantastic outdoor festival and music, dance, theater, and cinema called Verano en la Ciudad.
Take an overnight bus to Iguazu. Bike from Patagonia to Alaska. Drive from North America to South America. Or hang out in Buenos Aires for three full months. The best tips come from our past guests.
Rowdy folklore and dancing, skillful horsemanship, manly gauchos (Argentinean cowboys), inexhaustible amounts of grilled meat, empanadas, and other regional foods, fairly priced and beautifully handcrafted arts & crafts. Oh, yes. I do love the Feria de Mataderos. It’s one of my favorite Sunday activities in Buenos Aires. Watch our video to see if you want to add Mataderos to your list of things to do in Buenos Aires.
Some tango-loving friends of mine introduced me to La Jaula Abierta, a really cool spot for live music (watch our video below) here in San Telmo. It’s in a small, intimate bar right above Cafe Rivas on Estados Unidos and Balcarce, just a few blocks away from San Telmo Loft.
The Yacht Club Puerto Madero rents out boats for rowing so we headed over there to get the lowdown on prices and policies. Watch our video or read the blog post to find out if you really can rent a boat and row through the port.
The Cat Power concert on Thursday, July 16 at the Gran Rex theater in Buenos Aires. And after the theater, a traditional pizza and faina at Guerrin.
Live folklore shows and a rowdy crowd make La Peña del Colorado one of our favorite spots in town. Argentinean folklore features amazing guitar players with talented criollo singers. Order the pinguino, but make sure you get some soda to go with it.
I should begin by pointing out that I don't know how to dance tango. I think it's amazing though and I'd love to learn. So when my mom and niece were coming to visit, I decided it was time to take a couple of classes with people who know as little as I do and [...]
