Add this experience to your wishlist Finca Santa Anita

See more B&B. See best of Argentina


Traditional family farm with award-winning cuisine and wonderful horse riding to the lakes and forest. Great value and ideal for families

This might look like a typical colonial finca: a pretty, pink adobe, 19th-century building with long columned terraces, 4 quaint bedrooms opening onto the garden, and a peaceful rural setting amongst lush green tobacco plantations.

But Santa Anita is like no other: owners Valentina and Carlos (the village mayor) have won awards for their organic Slow Food, their biodiversity, and the way they care for their staff. Their warmth and dedication to looking after people extend to a real delight in welcoming guests; even their 6 children get involved. Watch goats cheese being made, explore Argentina’s first tobacco museum and a small archaeological collection, and ride horses with their gaucho to the vast Cabra Corral reservoir. The food is delicious; the peace of this rural retreat complete. And this is what Argentina is really about: forgetting urban life and sitting under the stars, chatting with a wonderfully warm Argentine family.
