Ideally located only 120 km from Buenos Aires and close to San Antonio de Areco in the heart of the Pampa, La Bamba de Areco is one of the oldest estancias in Argentina.
Recently renovated with great care as a boutique hotel, it now successfully combines luxurious comfort and colonial elegance.
The feeling of being welcomed into a private home, into a property steeped in history and tradition makes this hotel a special and timeless place for relaxation.
Exquisite cuisine, refined service, gaucho traditions and equestrian sports add to the unique magic of being there.
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,(in which we stayed) the house sheltered by its vine arbour, the stables, the summer dining room and the former inn make up the majority of the buildings that are surrounded by manicured lawns polo playing fields and grazing grounds.
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 make La Bamba de Areco an essential stopping place in the province of Buenos Aires.
Excursions on horseback, by carriage, or mountain bike, Argentinian bowls game, hot stone massages, the large swimming pool and the numerous relaxation areas offer the traveller an unforgettable restful experience and an incomparable way to restore energy.
La Bamba de Areco also serves as the base for the international polo team that bears its name.
The property includes two polo fields and the guest can also watch games during the season, with practice sessions and matches taking place almost daily.
Although it is not intended to be a polo school, arrangements can be made on request for guests who are experienced polo players.
This would be my type of place to stay, sounds wonderful
