Your Travel Experience with Argentinien Pro

This historic estate, dating back to 1830, is situated in the heart of the vast Pampas, about 120 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires and not far from the historic village of San Antonio de Areco. Today, it operates as a luxurious all-inclusive boutique hotel under the renowned Relais & Châteaux association. To preserve the traditional atmosphere and tranquility of the Pampas, the hotel embraces a stylish “digital detox” concept—which is why there are neither televisions nor telephones in the rooms!

The eleven rooms and suites are individually furnished in an elegant colonial style, featuring dark wood furniture, leather accents, and artwork inspired by gaucho culture. They are named after famous polo horses.

All rooms feature air conditioning and heating, as well as large, modern private bathrooms equipped with bathrobes, hair dryers, and high-quality toiletries.

The restaurant serves upscale regional cuisine. Dinner typically consists of a sophisticated three-course meal. There is also a traditional outdoor grill area where the famous Argentine barbecue is prepared at lunchtime. Meals are often enjoyed at a large communal table, which underscores the family-like atmosphere of the estancia.

The historic on-site bar (modeled after old gaucho taverns) serves as a cozy gathering place for aperitifs, wine tastings, or reading.

The estancia also features two professional polo fields. Guests can watch the in-house polo team practice (seasonally).
