Walk into this four-room B&B on the edge of red-hot Palermo Soho and you may think you've stepped into a country estancia. The interior has been constructed of salvaged wood from the nineteenth-century homes that are, sadly, falling victim to Buenos Aires's current building boom, and the polished dark mahogany makes for a lovely contrast to the delicate white impatiens, jasmine, creeping roses, and lilies that flourish in the small but beautifully landscaped garden. The spacious rooms are filled with well-considered details—a copy of Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia, a straw hat hanging from a hook, a few white blossoms floating in a jade-green ceramic dish—that are as idiosyncratic as they are evocative. Costa Petit pulls off the wonderful feat of allowing visitors to feel transported out of the city while giving them access to everything it affords.
