Estancia La Bamba de Areco

Located at the end of an avenue lined with century-old plane trees, the master house at La Bamba is built around the main courtyard, with a well-endowed library in the guard tower and a panoramic gallery opening onto the park. The cottage, the house sheltered by a vine arbour, the stables, the summer dining room and the former inn make up the majority of the buildings that surround the casco. Nestling in the midst of a magnificent park, this typical colonial style ensemble houses rooms and suites spread over three buildings, with several reception rooms, a billiard room, a bar, a massage room and a boutique. A regional and refined culinary tradition, outstanding service, charm and character…

Experience the pampas without the pomp at Estancia la Bamba de Areco, Member of Relais & Châteaux. A long avenue lined with plane trees leads to the colonial-style building, which features 11 rooms adorned with dark woods and local artwork and textiles. Go bicycling, get a hot stone massage, or join a maté tea tasting; you can watch the gauchos display their equestrian skills or join a trail ride. After a dinner of steak and other traditional fare, relax with a glass of wine while the cowboys entertain with folkloric songs and dancing. The estancia hosts an international polo team, which regularly plays on the property’s two fields.
