Create an itinerary including Residencia Messidor

Out in the Argentine countryside sits Residencia Messidor, a small French-style castle designed by famed architect Alejandro Bustillo in 1942. Nestled within walking distance from Lake Huapi, the castle is surrounded by verdant forest. Presidents and dignitaries have stayed at the residence, which was originally commissioned by Sara Madero Demaría and later sold to the province. Though it remains closed to the public, you can drive a car around a small circuit for excellent views and photo ops. Put Residencia Messidor and other Villa La Angostura attractions into our Villa La Angostura visit planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

We only went outside, but it's an incredible place. From a movie I would say. I would have liked to know the inside. Isabel Perón's "prison" for 7 months (I would like to be detained there 😂)

It is to pass with the car and look from outside. Then very close is the Islas Malvinas viewpoint and other beautiful places to visit.
