We spent 9 nights at this property, truly our home away from home. This historical estancia has been operated by the same family for 120 years. The owners are welcoming and will make sure to share tips about hikes and other things to do. A couple of hikes can be done right from the estancia. While it is more convenient to have a vehicle, it is possible to walk to town and enjoy great vistas at the same time. Alfredo speaks good English and so does Abril, their charming front desk clerk and restaurant hostess. The restaurant has a limited menu, but the food is excellent. The cold breakfast has a wide variety, including home made cookies and calafate berries on occasions. Rooms do not have wifi, but there is connection in the common areas with comfortable chairs and couches. Daily house keeping is done. There is also an entertaining greeting committee made up of a couple of horses, cows and calves who constantly roam the property to keep that lawn short. This place is like a green oasis in comparison to windy-dusty El Chaltén.
We drank tap water the whole time and no issue.
