Robert Duvall checks out of his Argentine hotel

The exterior of Tom Arnold's Tarzana home. The comedian and actor has listed the Mediterranean-style house for $2,275,000.
Add this to your list of life's regrets: You may never sleep on the same pillow as Robert Duvall. I know; I'm weeping too.
Duvall and his Argentine wife, Luciana, have sold their House of Jasmines, the seven-room boutique hotel near Salta, in northern Argentina, that they owned and frequented. A representative for the new owner would not disclose the sales price.
Duvall and many of his American actor friends, including Brad Pitt and Richard Gere, have stayed in the luxury inn, where, before the sale, a picture of Duvall in a cowboy hat hung prominently over the fireplace. One of the inn's greatest attractions was the possibility of having a close encounter with a major celebrity.
The 120-year-old ranch sits on about 300 acres in the foothills of the Andes Mountains and the theme is definitely horsy. It's decorated with rustic colonial furniture, saddles and horse-themed prints.
Either by horseback or on foot, guests can roam the grounds, which are filled with sweet-smelling roses, orchids and, of course, the ubiquitous jasmine for which the Colonial estancia is named. It had been managed by Duvall's sister-in-law, Florencia Pedraza.
Each of the seven rooms is different, and all have four-poster beds, antique furniture and fluffy duvets. Miles of trails and open fields surround a swimming pool and a rose garden. The farmhouse is close to Salta's airport, and is about a 15-minute drive from the city center.
Duvall still owns homes in West Hollywood and Virginia, a spokesman said.
The 77-year-old Oscar-winning actor is known for his roles in "The Godfather" and "Tender Mercies." He delivered one of Hollywood's most memorable lines -- "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" -- as Lt. Col. Kilgore in the 1979 film "Apocalypse Now." The six-time Oscar nominee stars in the upcoming film "Glad All Over."
