I’d give this place 6 stars if I could. The grounds are absolutely stunning and there’s a great mix of guided activities (empanada & mate demos, walking tour, horse demo, etc) and self-paced things (swimming, hiking, etc.). You need to rent a car to get out here but it’s so worth it - and the drive from downtown BA is straightforward. I’m gluten free and the staff was incredibly accommodating - I never had to miss out on a meal/snack or given a crappy alternative. We speak enough Spanish that that’s the language we used the whole time here and it’s worth noting that everyone else there that day was Argentine (nice that there aren’t a bunch of big tour buses), but all of our email comms back and worth were in English so I think you’d be fine if you didn’t speak Spanish.

The place is beautiful and amenities are amazing. But!!! Everything that starts from interaction with staff members who are responsible for any type of administrative tasks is horrible not the less. To make a reservation - took us two weeks of constant conversations. They just ignore you for days and a simple conversation to know what are the availabilities took them a week to give us a complete answer. We tried to do a reservation over the phone- they just say it’s impossible and we have to use WhatsApp. After they were not available on the phone just for simple follow ups. To pay the reservation is a lengthy two steps process and took them two days to complete. To check in - the person at the desk technically has a memory of a fish. He forgets about you a minute you leave his sight. We Had to go back 3 times to talk to him before we got our room ready. And we had a child with us. So it was very unpleasant experience to go back to and ask for the same thing 3 times. We came here second time as we really love the nature and atmosphere here. But unfortunately lack of professionalism makes our stay less pleasant already for a second time. We hoped something will change for our second stay but it changed for the worse not better.

Pros: One of the best places I've ever been in my life!! The castle was so beautiful, our room had a balcony and it was amazing! Also there was a great schedule of activities all day long like empanadas + wine tasting, a tour around the estate, lunch with a show, yerba mate tasting, ghost stories, etc. Also the food was absolutely amazing, I never expected a remote estate like this to have a really wide selection of amazing dishes!! Everything from snacks to lunch to dinner to dessert was amazing, their chef is insanely talented! Cons: Lots and lots of mosquitos. Definitely bring bug spray. We had to buy some in the store. And there were a lot of bugs around the outdoor pool which made me and my girlfriend uncomfortable swimming there. 5/5, my favorite experience in Argentina and one of the best of my life!!!

We enjoyed our stay for the carnaval long weekend. We were in the suite real which was nice. I thought some of the space could be used better with a comfortable couch to sit on, but understand they are trying to use period furniture. The bathroom could also use an upgrade, but it was ok. Overall a good time especially for the price. The carnaval party/dinner was really cool with great entertainment. Massages were really good. Lots of fun activities related to wellness.
