Argentine Pampa Experience
Buenos Aires
Argentina
Located in the middle of the Argentine countryside, but only 100 km (60 miles) from Buenos Aires, is an oasis of calm. It was created by its owners, who, together with their staff, take excellent care of the facilities and their guests. The estancia is a colonial-style ranch with six spacious, comfortable and welcoming en-suite rooms that invite our guests to relax.
The great hospitality of the owners, their passion for detail and quality service are hallmarks of the estancia, an ideal place for honeymooners or for those who just want to spend some time far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Waking up to the birds singing, savoring a delicious breakfast on a terrace with spectacular views of the countryside, joining tailor-made organized activities such as the romantic tours on horseback, participating in fun activities such as our polo classes, taking part in a Gaucho-style barbecue, and enjoying a relaxing nap in the shadow of the trees, indulging in a romantic candle-light dinner and going to sleep accompanied by the silence of the vast Argentine countryside...are but a few of the beautiful moments that make a stay here a very special experience. And if you are looking for some action, you will surely find it in a high-speed polo game.

Horses are an essential part of Argentine culture and at the estancia horses are at the center of our activities. We offer rides on horseback and in coaches, riding and polo classes, horse tours to discover the Argentine Pampa or gaucho traditions such as the typical barbecue out in the countryside.
We have special offers for guests who want to practice polo, learn how to play or just find out more about a sport that is part of the Argentine culture. We offer lessons with a AAP Certified Polo Instructor for guests who want to learn how to ride, stick & ball practice at hitting the ball and practice games according to each guest´s abilities. Adults and even children from the age of six years old can participate!
Other Activities
Guests who do not feel all that comfortable on a horse and prefer to observe them from a distance should take the opportunity to enjoy the views, some delicious food, absolute peace and watching a polo game or a Gaucho working with the horses.
We love good food and we appreciate the Argentine kitchen with its Asados (=barbecue), empanadas and steaks. We also love sharing our passion and expertise with our guests. At the estancia our guests can learn to properly fold an empanada and prepare its filling. Learn how to prepare a barbecue, what kind of wood to use and learn of the different meat cuts and how to roast them. We teach you how to prepare the Mate tea or we are also happy to organize a wine tasting for you.
In order to eat well, you need to set the table properly. At estancia we focus on all the details in order to get them just right, and turn every meal into a special moment.
Bird Watching
It’s actually been our guests - bird lovers - who have taught us the variety and quantity of birds to be observed at our estancia. The preservation of pure nature attracts numerous species. Early mornings seem a concert. We have a Suite on the second floor, surrounded by the birds singing in the morning, which actually therefore is called The Birds' Suite.
The owl couple lives next to the Polo field and during the summers the Colibri or Hummingbird is around the flowers. The impressive and massive houses of the hornero bird can be observed in trees and fence posts.

In the main house we offer two Standard Suites and a Superior Suite (The Old Room). One of the Standard rooms - The BIRDS SUITE - is located on the second floor and has a private balcony. The decoration is colonial style with comfortable modern beds, exclusive Egyptian cotton bedlinen and safe. The FLOWER SUITE on the ground floor has a wooden floor. The bathrooms with modern shower are decorated with hand crafted tiles of traditional design.

The Superior Suites are spacious rooms with king size beds, exclusive Egyptian cotton bedlinen, safe and private access to one of the terraces. One also has its fireplace. The decoration is colonial style, one with wooden floor (pinotea). The spacious bathrooms with walk-in shower and stylish antique bathtub are decorated with hand crafted tiles of traditional design.
The OLD ROOM is located in the main house. This is one of the original rooms of the house built at the beginning of the last century. It has direct access to the terrace and views of the polo fields.

For those guests who are looking for our best room, we proudly recommend booking GRAND PATRONS SUITE or THE GRAND SUITE PAMPA. The decoration is colonial style and the two rooms have wooden floors and comfortable modern beds (king size), fine Egyptian cotton sheets, desk and safe. The spacious bathrooms with shower & bathtub are decorated with hand crafted tiles of traditional design.
The Grand Patron Suite is located in a second house 4 meters from the main house. This room also has its a private fireplace
For couples looking for a quiet and exclusive stay, or for those who wish to take in the most stunning views, we suggest the The GRAND SUITE PAMPA. It is located about 150 m from the main house right next to the polo field, on the second floor of a tower. This is the ideal place to enjoy some unique sunrises The suite consists of two rooms, a large one with a king-size bed and a smaller one with a double bed, plus a large bathroom with shower and bath.
Suggestions:
If you need a Twin room (with two single beds) please reserve the Superior category or Grand Suite. Families with small children are advised to reserve the superior or grand suite category rooms, as extra beds cannot comfortably be added to the Birds or Flower Suite. You can request a cot (up to two years) or an additional bed for up to two children to share the Superior category or Grand Suite room.
Ideal for a family is to reserve GRAND PATRONS SUITE and The Polo Suite (Superior) together, since these are connected by a small living room with TV and library. Another option for a family with children is to reserve THE OLD ROOM and a Standard room, both together in the main house separated by living and dining room. Or another option is to reserve the two Standard Suites, one is on top of the other.

The outdoor pool is located next to the polo fields, with open views of the Pampa. A bar service is offered throughout the day.
The view and the silence of the countryside, the whisper of the leaves, the sound of the cicadas, the neighing and galloping of the horses, the singing of the birds...a perfect place to relax and enjoy, get a massage, take a ride on a bike or read a book under a tree.
