Beyond the door of this intimate, ground-floor suite—dedicated to Borges’ celebrated tale—lingers an air of quiet lyricism.
Above the wooden fireplace, a painting by Pierre Sallé from early 19th-century France lends a soft Gallic note to the suite’s Latin-American soul.
This 35-square-metre room opens its windows onto the distant home of Argentine poet and writer Rodolfo Wilcock.
In late August, you can reach out and pick ripe figs from the ancient tree that casts its generous shade across the space.
