La Bamba de Areco brings glamour and elegance to traditional gaucho lifestyle at this gorgeous estancia, found in the countryside of Argentina’s Pampa region and just an hour and a half hours from Buenos Aires. This beautiful rural estate, one of the oldest in Argentina, has been carefully restored to showcase the very best of country living. There is quality and refinement to everything at La Bamba de Areco, from the polished local silverware to the heavy wooden furnishings, perfectly-placed poolside loungers to the antique and contemporary nods towards gaucho culture. Inside the immaculate estancia feels like a purpose-built boutique hotel, while around the grounds you’ll get a further taste for local life through horseback, carriage, or mountain biking tours, twice-weekly polo matches, cultural demonstrations and even an onsite silversmith.
The small number of rooms at La Bamba de Areco are each as characterful and comfortable as the next, all individually designed with their own flurries of local artwork, silverware, crafts and fabrics – as well as layout, depending on their location in the property. As traditional as they feel, guestrooms at La Bamba de Areco enjoy the same fusion of old and new that you’ll find elsewhere, with in-room extras including air-conditioning, bathrobe and slippers, and thick queen-size, twin or king beds. Whether housed in the main building or around the courtyard, you’ll be treated to the same lux bathrooms, creature comforts and views at La Bamba de Areco, with doors opening out onto the gardens, countryside, pampas or polo fields. There’s also a standalone Cottage Suite for extra privacy, if travelling on a romantic trip.
