Howard Johnson Hotel Villa Carlos Paz

The Resort and Its Setting

Howard Johnson Hotel Villa Carlos Paz operates as an RCI-affiliated timeshare property under the established Howard Johnson hotel brand, located right in Villa Carlos Paz, Cordoba Province. This puts owners and renters within half a kilometre of the town centre, with its shops, restaurants and markets, and close to the Sierras de Cordoba foothills. The resort combines the format and familiarity of a branded hotel with the fixed-week or points-based structure typical of vacation ownership, and its RCI affiliation is the main exchange benefit tied to the property.

The Area and Things to Do

Villa Carlos Paz sits in a mountain-lake setting that draws Argentine and international visitors throughout the year, with a different rhythm each season: summer brings water activities on the lake and a busy social scene, while winter suits cooler mountain walks and quieter sightseeing. The Sierras de Cordoba, just a few kilometres away, are the obvious draw for hiking, trekking and scenic lookouts. Cordoba City, around 35 km away, is Argentina's second-largest city and home to the Jesuit Block, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with colonial architecture and museums worth a day trip. Further afield, San Antonio de Areco in Buenos Aires Province (roughly 80 km, though better treated as a separate excursion given the distance) offers a taste of gaucho culture and traditional crafts for travellers extending their stay.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Howard Johnson Hotel Villa Carlos Paz and are considering a change, listing it for resale or rental on BidMyTimeshare.com works on a straightforward owner-to-owner basis: you set your own asking price, interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers. This keeps more of the proceeds in your pocket compared with traditional resale channels.

Because this is an independent, RCI-affiliated resort rather than a large chain with its own published transfer schedule, resale here typically runs through the resort's owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer or administration fee for registering a new owner, whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published for this specific resort, so treat them as questions to settle before closing a deal, not assumptions to carry over from other RCI resorts.

What a resale buyer receives is the timeshare interval itself and the RCI affiliation tied to the unit, which opens up exchange options at other RCI resorts; it does not automatically include any outstanding fees, points balances, or extra perks the original owner may have arranged separately, so buyers should ask the seller and the resort to confirm exactly what transfers with the unit.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for clear dates, confirmation of what's included (unit type, resort access, any RCI exchange restrictions), and straightforward communication — all of which can be handled directly between owner and renter once a listing is live.

Practical Notes

Villa Carlos Paz is reached easily from Cordoba City, making it a convenient base for both the mountains and urban day trips. The local currency is the Argentine Peso, and exchanging money or withdrawing cash from ATMs in the town centre is the simplest approach. English is not universal here, though the town's long tourism history means staff at hotels and restaurants are generally used to international visitors.
