Truly a beautiful place! Far away from any neighbour, live slows down here getting you in the ultimate chill mode. But there is a lot to do just by staying at the estancia, like horse riding or mountain biking. And the kids love it. It was too cold for swimming, but the daily trip to the animals was a guaranteed highlight. And the service was just perfect. From the waiters to farmers to the management, they all went the extra mile! And how the chef made every meal into a feast was just incredible. If you like to just enjoy life away from everything this is the place to be!

A Gracious Escape The estancia sits prettily on a rise, commanding a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. The grounds are meticulously maintained though they are not formal. In fact the property is very tranquil. The hotel is newly built in the style of yore. The comfortable guest rooms are beautifully designed and quite lovely. I have nothing but praise for the staff. To a one, they are pleasant and helpful. They anticipate and satisfy one's needs often before the need even arises. One is free to do as much or as little as you like. Programs offered are varied enough to entertain any visitor. In particular, children are treated like the little princes and princesses that they are, resulting in a great deal of happiness and laughter. The chef is especially accomplished. And because much of the food is sourced on the home farm, meals reflect the best and freshest of the season. The dining room is not open to the public so if you want to check it out you will need to check in.

This is an amazing estancia (ranch) just 45 minutes for the Cordoba AR (COR) airport. Cordoba is the second largest city in Argentina, but you're definitely well out in the country. We scheduled our stay (5 nights) to "unwind" from an active hiking/biking trip in the Lakes District in northern Patagonia. We made the right call. The people and service couldn't be better, the location is awesome and the activities are excellent. We've ridden horses every day, under the watchful care of Maxi, our gaucho. The horseback riding is incredible among the pampas, with hills in the distance. Tomorrow we're riding for a picnic along the river.

Magnificent This is a site so unique and wonderful that it is difficult to adequately describe. The setting is gorgeous. The landscaping is natural, elegant and perfectly maintained. But above all the hotel personnel are so living and gracious. They make you feel you should never leave! ...
