A beautiful relaxing estancia with lovely rooms, wonderful service, spectacular food. Fun horseback riding -- even for the very inexperienced. A lovely place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of a special place. Very real, very enjoyable, and not at all touristy. We were treated like guests in someone's home.

Argentinean friends had recommended Candelaria del Monte as the best estancia outside of Buenos Aires and so my wife and I decided to book a room there for two nights. I’m not sure what prompted the change in plans, but we extended our stay for another two nights… could it have been the charming and hospitable Sebastian and his wonderful... More

We stayed at Candelaria for the final 3 days of our hectic trip to South America and wished it could have been longer. The Estancia is beautiful, the staff and service exceptional and the food amazing. I am a vegetarian and was very well catered for, the food is all fresh, home grown and organic. Sebastian is the perfect host... More

Sebastian and staff welcome you upon arrival. Room was spacious and special with a wood burning fireplace and AC if needed. Food and service was as good as any five star restaurant. Grounds and pool are beautiful. If you want to be a Gaucho...take a horse ride and help Sebastian herd his bulls or cattle. Total relaxation and a gastronomic... More

From the moment you walk in, you know you are in for a treat. The estancia is set in beautiful grounds away from everything and everyone. The house itself is full of character, and has real rustic charm. Keep an eye out for the cool artwork dotted about the house! My room was the smallest but huge by any standards,... More

The food is really amazing and the best we had in one month in Argentina. We stayed one week and each meal was different with "innovative" food. The place is beautiful but not a luxury place. Rooms are clean but basic with no tv and no internet. The estancia is very small and more a private property than a real... More

We loved this place. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were looked after by Sebastian and his team. The food was amazing, having been fed huge amounts of meat, with various salads at lunchtime it was lovely to eat a lighter , although still 3 course vegetarian meal in the evening. My husband had never... More

At the end of our holiday we decided to unwind for a couple of days at this amazing estancia just outside Buenos Aires. We first saw the place on a Dutch television episode about travelling in Argentina ("3 op reis") and in real it is even better. The food is the best we had during our entire holiday in Argentina,...

We spent the last few days of our trip here and had a wonderfully relaxing time. From the first class service to the food and the accommodations, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Sebastian is an amazing host and was able to accommodate our various food requirements. And all of the staff were eager to make sure we were... More
