I wanted to take a few moments to write about my experience with Mark of ApartmentsBariloche and their property management services. I live in the US, and bought property and then built a house in Villa Traful (VT1) after a visit in 2002.
Patagonia is an amazing place, and to try and convey the beauty and allure of this special place on earth in a brief paragraph is bound to fail. Patagonia must be experienced. It is not surprising then that visitors such as myself are moved by such an experience, and want to capture a little piece of Patagonia and make it their own.
For many tourists, the cost of buying property in Patagonia is quite reasonable. The true value in what one can purchase here, particularly in relation to what is available in Europe or the US, is as they say a ‘no-brainer’ and well worth the travel! The problem is ….. Then what?! The perils and pitfalls for the foreign property owner are significant and not to be taken lightly. Even the smallest detail becomes a logistical challenge which consumes ones precious time and energy. The pride and joy of ownership can quickly become frustration and worry without the proper support to help take care of ones property.
This then brings me back to Mark of ApartmentsBariloche. We have recently contracted with Mark to manage our property in Villa Traful. Mark’s professional, motivated, service-oriented efforts and “can-do” attitude have been a huge help to us. I cannot convey how powerful the words “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” are to a landowner such as myself. One anecdote to illustrate the above is how Mark took care of a plumbing problem we recently had. He first found a reliable plumber for us, but since he (the plumber) didn’t have a car, Mark personally drove him the 100 kms to our house to fix the problem. THAT is the sort of work-ethic and the type of personal attention that allows me to rest easy, knowing my property is well cared for.
Also, rather than having our house sit vacant the majority of the year between our visits, with Mark’s help we are now renting it out. Thanks to Mark our second home in Patagonia, previously a ‘labor of love’, will now be a professionally managed, revenue-generating and worry-free labor of love!
In summary, I can personally attest to Marks integrity, work-ethic, and management skills, and welcome the opportunity to do so at taiquen@nelsoncable.com.
Sincerely,
Eric Cordero, M.D.

I also found Mark a great ambassador for Bariloche. The chalet H15 was as he described prior to our departure. The hire car, delivered to the airport by Mark cheaper & more convenient than hiring from town. The best thing about dealing with mark@apartmentsbariloche.com was the 'local knowledge'. Where to go, where to eat etc etc. And one last thing, if something would have misfired - we could count on Mark's stepping in and fixing the problem.
If you think that I am carrying on a bit - well yes I am but that is only because one seldom meets people with Mark's integrity.
Enjoy Bariloche - we did.

I wanted to offer my unconditional recommendation for my current property manager, Mark [@ apartmentsbariloche.com]. I have owned property here in Bariloche for almost two years. I have had other experiences with managers for my home and found it very difficult to find the right person to work with. Quite frankly, Mark is the absolute best. He is very responsive to my needs and, most importantly, to the many requests of my guests. He has also been invaluable in helping me to improve my property as well as handling the numerous bookings he has made for my property. My new home is very important to me since I love Bariloche and have adopted it as my home for the future. My guests have told me that they have appreciated his competence and congeniality and so do I [very much]. THANKS MARK!

Mark we want to thank you and Lorena for the wonderful attention that you have given us through your company Apartments Bariloche and for putting up with so many emails and questions it was greatly appreciated. We were fortunate to be the first people to rent the luxury apartment AT1 I can't tell how much we have enjoyed our stay (30 days) in this outstanding apartment. The view of the lake and mountains was just wonderful and so were all of the amenities that go with the apartment. I highly recommend Mark and his company for anyone wanting a worry free vacation in this outstanding area of Argentina you simply want regret it. Our very best regards to you both.

¨We planned our trip to Bariloche at the last minute and Mark did everything in his power to get us a beautiful place to stay as well as a car to rent and answered many of our questions very professionally. I would recommend his business to anyone wanting to find great lodging and fantastic customer service in Bariloche!¨

ApartmentsBariloche.com has done a fantastic job both marketing and maintaining our Bariloche property H16. The property has been busy with tenants whilst being maintained to the highest standard. Our tenants have been grateful for the personalised service they provide and the prompt attention they give to any queries that may arise. As we live a great distance from Bariloche, we are incredibly grateful to have Mark and Lorena taking care of the house and have confidence in their ability to do so.

I began my search for a place to stay in Bariloche by browsing through the Internet and came upon apartmentsbariloche.com. After viewing some of the properties available I decided to contact them directly and spoke to Lorena. She was extremely helpful and very patient as I had two other couples who were in the decision making process and could not make a hasty decision. We finally decided on a home(H14) which looked beautiful in the pictures and Lorena told me that this was the most beautiful rental house in Bariloche. She was 100% correct.
The house was indeed beautiful and the views spectacular. What was really touching is that the owner of the house left us a gift basket with champagne and sweets! The three couples marvelled every day at how lucky we were to have found this place and I attribute that to Lorena. Ana and Carlos were the wonderful caretakers who cooked and cleaned the house for us every day. What a treat! The house is full of amenities, including a beautiful pool overlooking the lake and a second hot tub overlooking the lake as well. What we enjoyed the most is their parrilla where with the help of Carlos and Ana we would grill our steaks and sausages. Patagonia is a beautiful area with many places to see and lakes everywhere. The real treat was coming back to this beautiful house after visiting all these places. The three couples are already planning our return, and the first person I will contact will be Lorena to try to get this house again!

We had the pleasure of visiting the stunningly beautiful town of Bariloche in April. The highlight of the visit was the superb apartment we rented through apartmentsbariloche.com. The apartment (AT1) we rented had just been completely renovated with no expense spared. It was equal to any 5 star hotel but with room to move and a jaw dropping view of the lake. The owner, Mark could not do enough to ensure our stay was pleasurable. I am looking forward to next visiting Bariloche, and will have no hesitation in using this company.

We just got back from a family vacation in Bariloche. We rented our apartment through www.apartmentsbariloche.com. We were very satisfied with their services. The owner, Marc, was very responsive during the planning stage. He even arranged a rental car for us from a local rental company priced ~ $15/day lower than other places I checked. He met us at the airport with the car and we drove to our apartment. Apartment (AM2) was nice with a beautiful lake view. Overall it was a great experience.
Pablo Vallejo - Florida, USA. Lorena,
Thank you very much for helping us find such a wonderful house (H22). We had

were also outstanding. We hope we can come back in the near future.

We were extremely pleased with our accommodations in Bariloche. Mark was tremendous help in locating the perfect place on the lake for us. He also helped to set up a rental car, all in a days notice. We highly recommend Mark, as he is very professional, easy to work with, and has great tips on where to explore the area -- including "must see" destinations. Thanks!
