Manzano Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Manzano Resort is an independent lodging property on Aljaba 205 in Puerto Manzano, a quiet residential stretch a short drive from the centre of Villa La Angostura. The resort's address places it directly on the Puerto Manzano peninsula, the part of town closest to the lake shoreline and the forested hills that give this area its reputation as one of Argentina's most photogenic mountain villages. With nearly 2,900 Google reviews and a 4.6 rating, it's clearly a well-regarded base for travellers visiting this part of the Los Lagos region.

Villa La Angostura & the Lake District

Villa La Angostura has a distinct character: chalet-style buildings, log cabins, and chocolate shops give it a central European feel that's unusual in South America, set against the unmistakably Patagonian backdrop of araucaria forests and glacial lakes. The village centre, with its cafés, craft shops and small galleries, is an easy outing from the resort. A few kilometres further out, Lago Nahuel Huapi offers boat trips, kayaking and simply some of the best lake views in the region, while Cerro Bayo's chairlift carries visitors up for panoramic views over the lake district — in winter it's a modest ski hill, in summer a hiking and mountain-biking base. Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, Argentina's oldest national park, is within easy reach for longer treks through native forest.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Manzano Resort and want to list it, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a single one-time listing fee to publish your week, and keep 100% of whatever you agree with a buyer — there's no commission taken from your sale. Interested buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of the conversation and the final terms.

Because Manzano Resort is independently managed rather than part of a branded vacation ownership chain with a published resale policy, any transfer of ownership here goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with Manzano Resort's administration: the current transfer fee for changing the week to a new owner's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the paperwork typically takes to complete, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are standardised across independent resorts, so getting them in writing from the resort before closing protects both seller and buyer. A resale buyer should also ask explicitly what is and isn't included with the week — for example, whether any points, credits or reservations tied to the current ownership carry over, since at an independently run property this isn't automatic.

What Renters Look For

Short-term renters booking a week at Manzano Resort are generally after the same things as any visitor to Villa La Angostura: reasonable proximity to the village centre and the lake, clarity on the season (summer for hiking and water sports, winter for snow at Cerro Bayo), and confirmation of what's included — bedding, linens, kitchen facilities, and whether the unit sleeps the number of guests they're travelling with. Being upfront about the exact week or season of your listing, and any fixed costs the renter should expect, tends to make a listing easier to fill.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Villa La Angostura has limited public transport, so most owners arrange a car rental or shuttle for the trip in from the nearest airport. Shops and restaurants in the village keep earlier hours than you'd find in a big city, which matters if you're coordinating check-in or evening arrangements for a renter. Spanish is the local language and currency exchange is available in town, both worth mentioning to overseas guests unfamiliar with the area.
