    The hot water didn't always work in the room. It may have been able to be fixed, but we were only staying one night, so it wasn't a big deal

    Beautiful rooms and dining area and grounds. All of the staff was very nice and knowledgeable.

    Only the shower, the flow wasn’t good and the shower had to be held to wash your hair😫 But a lovely relaxing 3 night stay here.

    Lovely rooms with a view of lake Argentino. Good breakfast, self service. Dining room with views and a lounge area where you could sit to have a drink in the evening. Great staff, friendly and helpful. They arranged a taxi to take us to the Glaciar and airport transfers. We loved the walks and the horseriding. Lots of birds to see. Lots of places to sit in the garden. Food good but not exceptional.

    Just note that it is far from El Calafate and expensive to get a taxi there. Food at the estancia, lunch and dinner, is not terribly diverse so we went into town once and brought back a few healthy and interesting snacks, fruit. Wifi is not great. However, pluses far outweigh any of this

    It was magic. So beautiful ! Allow yourself a few days there to really relax. The staff is wonderful: Tomas, Facundo, Magdalena, Victoria. And absolutely don’t miss the Dia de Campo, where you can see how the estancia runs, and used to run, followed by a feast

    Wonderful place that has kept its legacy and authenticity. One of the few estancias where the Argentinian countryside means home. Astonishing view on the lake, great staff and service. Beautiful horse-ride on the lake side welcomed by the local wildlife. Would recommend without hesitation.

    What an amazing place! A little off the town of El Calafate, this place is an oasis in the middle of the Patagonian background. Really professional and friendly staff, always ready to help, a real plus! The ride around Lake Argentina was just amazing.

    It is only reachable by car or taxi (which is pretty expensive). We expected a bit more about the hotel itself (for the price). One of the windows in our room didn’t close too well and it was a bit cold. I have to say though that the staff was very friendly and helpful and we could also enjoy a very good dinner there!

    The hotel is by the lake which has an amazing blue color and is surrounded by fields with many horses and other animals, which makes it great!

    Rooms were VERY small and bathroom was tiny. Bed was a bit lumpy. We could never get hot water despite running it for more than 5 minutes.

    Very nice location in a rural setting on the lake. Food was good. Staff was very nice and helpful with arranging transportation into town.

    The room was was nice - overlooked the lake. The bathroom was old, the bathtub surround was cracked in several places and there was a very strong smell of mold. The sink was tiny. The breakfast was adequate.

    The location was beautiful - on a lake with lovely gardens. The receptionist was very helpful -she helped us get lunch even though we had checked in just after the restaurant had closed and she was very gracious.

    I didn't see animals there. Not in the evening, not in the morning or daytime. No one sheep. Everything was empty. You have so many colorful pictures with animals and gaucho but when you arrive its just a very simple room with a bed on a maybe farm.

    Nice farm, good breakfast. We had hot water in the room.

    Overall, the hotel needs an upgrade. For the price of the hotel, we expected better meals. The breakfast options were sparse and the dinner we had was mediocre. Better to go to El Calafate for meals.

    Staff were lovely. They were professional and went out if their way to assist us. The room was comfortable and the views are beautiful.
