This townhouse is the buzz talk of the city. Built to order for Francis Ford Coppola while he filmed his autobiographical flick, Tetro, it’s cosy, with aged brick floors, Peruvian tapestries and willow floor lamps. Actors like Vincent Gallo and Willem Dafoe stayed before Coppola decided to open it to an in-the-know crowd. Guests can book a two-bedroom wing topped with a pergola and herb garden, take over a five-bedroom upper floor or splurge on the whole house. The director’s foldaway writing desk still sits in a tiny studio and the garden is alive with the whistle of mockingbirds. Staff are discreet; breakfast, from a local pâtissier, is delivered each morning; at night, eat locally or do as Coppola does: grill up a sizzling barbecue.

Legado Mítico, Salta, Argentina
Great Value This handsome provincial capital, known for its meat empanadas and some of the world’s best-preserved mummies, has lately been burnishing its claim as Argentina’s third city for tourism, after Buenos Aires and Mendoza. Still, we were surprised to come across a hotel so refined, especially on a noisy commercial street near the main square. Each of the 11 guest rooms in this former private residence is named for a notable person (a poet; a gaucho; a sculptor) and dressed accordingly with art from the region. Guests can linger in the courtyard for hours under swaying alamo trees while sampling the region’s tangy, refreshing Torrontes wines. Doubles from $170.
