Client comments and reviews

This was a lovely place to end the trip and relax. We enjoyed the food and activities, went riding and were also taken to a neighbouring polo school. - C&PB (November 2024)

Warm, nice, and classy. Probably best to stay 3 days, we loved the pool and the horses and the dogs. Spotty wifi. Food very good (breakfast and parrillada especially). Special mention to Augustina and staff. - FC (December 2023)

We very much enjoyed our stay here and the staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Food was good, varied and all home cooked. We had great fun riding and “rustling” the cattle-sadly D lost the herd at the crucial moment! Pool was a bit cool and mostly shallow. The only real bugbear was no internet [phone signal dodgy]. - GW (October 2013)
