With just seven rooms, Jardin Escondido is true to its name — a hidden garden in the midst of a bustling city.
Once home to director Francis Ford Coppola, Jardín Escondido is now a seven-room boutique property in Buenos Aires’ Palermo Soho district. The neighbourhood is known for its tree-lined streets, independent boutiques, art galleries, and lively restaurants.
The house centres on a lush private garden with a swimming pool and multiple shaded terraces, offering a quiet retreat in one of the city’s most vibrant areas.
What we love about Jardin Escondido
- The seven rooms, each named after a different member of the Coppola family. Our favourite is the largest room, Francis, which is set away from the main building and has its own private garden
- The gardens – leafy, green, and a haven away from buzzing Buenos Aires
- The pool, although unheated, is a welcome addition after a busy day of exploring the city
- The breakfast, best enjoyed on the terrace on a sunny morning
- The parilla (barbecue), available for guests to use at their lesiure
- The bar with a vast selection of wine from Coppola’s vineyards
- The local Argentine artwork in the living areas
Jardin Escondido is within walking distance from countless restaurants, bars, boutiques, and galleries.
