Silke and Marcos were so kind and La Sofia is a beautiful property. This is such a relaxing retreat. The food was wonderful. Horseback riding and a day on the ranch was such a welcome break from the city.

We are research fanatics and La Sofia was the highlight of both of our trips. The only bad thing was that we had to leave. We are a young couple, had done minimal riding, had never played polo.  Marcos, an ex international pro, now pro ref, has managed polo farms all over the world, is the teacher. All his achievements... More

I definitely recommend La Sofia. It was clean and quiet, very relaxing. The food was delicious and horseback riding was fun. Check out my blog post for info about my stay: http://www.travelaworldaway.com/2013/04/polo-anyone-la-sofia-estancia.html

Would we ever have planned a polo vacation? No, not in million years. Did we love it, when we got there? Absolutely, we loved it! La Sofia is excellent. They picked us up from the hotel in Palermo, Buenos Aires. At a much lower cost than a rental car. The driver G. was very professional. After a 90 minute drive... More

My wife and I spent three nights at La Sofia as part of a two week holiday in Argentina. It was the highlight of our trip. The building itself is beautiful with a rustic charm, and it is set in large and wonderfully tranquil grounds. The owners, Silke and Marcos, are great hosts and the whole experience felt very personal.... More

We chose La Sofia on the basis of Tripadvisor recommednations and have mixed views about it. The hosts, Silke and Marcos, were very welcoming. The accomodation is a traditional, rustic building on a pleasant, if remote, estancia. Activities are limited to horseriding on the polo field or on the track leading to the estancia, though the horses and guide were... More

Probably the best food I've had in Argentina. Their outside asado bbqs are worth travelling for. The main house is the best place to stay and has a very homely fireplace, lounge area. We also played polo on their private field which was fantastic fun.

My husband and I just got back from a two-week trip to Argentina and Brazil - we really wanted a taste of the estancia experience; I had read that San Antonio de Areco was one of the original gaucho towns and La Sofia was very close to it. This place was recommended by our agent and also tripadvisor - it... More

This is an excellent, quiet getaway. Tiny lodge. with more than 10 guests it gets crowded. but otherwise: you sit at a little table with a view of a field in front of view and beyond, polo horses and games happening. Good food. For Riders or Polo enthusiasts, you will get very personal service. People that just want to relax,... More
