This former colonial ranch offers a relaxing rural retreat in Argentina's Pampas.

This Italian Palazzo-style mansion has an ideal location in the heart of the Pampas near gaucho town San Antonio de Areco.

Dating from the 1880’s, this ranch is only a few hours from Buenos Aires, set in luxuriant parkland with a small selection of simple, atmospheric rooms with period furniture.

There are two unheated swimming pools, pleasant to use in summer, a communal living room and BBQ area where delicious asados of steak reared on the property are cooked regularly for guests. Activities available include horse-riding within the estancia, carriage drives and nature walks.
