If you are traveling to Buenos Aires and have a day or more, you MUST visit the Estancia Villa Maria. Approx 45 mns from the City, Josefina Cayol, Resident Manager - whom I wanted to take back with me - will greet you upon arrival. Josefina is particularly gracious and welcoming. The Estancia is a perfect get-away for rest and... more

My wife and I have traveled abroad many times---and our last trip was our first visit to Argentina. When we stayed at Estancia Villa Maria this May, (2009) we really got a taste of this wonderful region! Villa Maria is a lovely place---the superb grounds---the chateau and the wonderful (and beautifully prepared) meals were superb. This location made it possible... more

When we think about our trip to Argentina, the one thing we would have changed would be to have spent more time at Villa Maria. We stayed 2 nights here in early February 2009, but should have stayed 4 nights.

The grounds... more

When my wife and I stayed here, we ganged up with all the other guest and complained to the manager. This place is depressing and not worth the... more

I've partially written about our experience in the forum, but wanted to elaborate here. I've also written about this experience to "Travel and Leisure" magazine. We really wanted to stay on an estancia in Argentia. I did a lot of research and found Estancia Villa Maria, which was written up in T&L magazine. I contacted the estancia by e-mail, heard... more

I stayed at the Estancia Villa Maria (EVM for short) for a few days with my family in early March, as a lead-in to a wedding in Buenos Aires. I can't overstate the incredible service, attention to detail, and friendliness of the staff at EVM. And did I mention that EVM isn't a hotel at all, but a 19th century... more
