We’ve traveled to many places around the world, and I’ve never had an experience like the one we had at Estancia La Bandada. My wife and I came for a few days as part of our honeymoon and the experience is truly unmatched. Grace and her team are the consummate professionals, never rushed, quietly confident and competent. The place itself is quiet, understated and cozy, and it truly feels like you’re at home while you’re there...if home was a beautiful Argentinian ranch estate with a live-in Michelin star chef. Seriously, the food here is incredible - we found ourselves mentally counting down until the next meal each and every time. It's not just delicious, it's also fresh - much of it grown in their garden. The eggs you have with your breakfast are laid by their own chickens onsite. You feel like royalty here, a little taste of heaven.

Read a book by the pool while a border collie snoozes at your feet, take a horse ride, just take a nap between meals - you can’t go wrong here, if relaxing and unplugging is your jam, this place is truly world class.

But really, what sets this place apart is the staff. Grace runs the place with class and calm, and everybody on the staff exudes this same energy. They get all the little things right - want a cozy crackling fire set up in your room’s fireplace? An impromptu empanada rolling class? They’ve got you, and more.

Trying to make our flight home, we hired a car service and the driver's car broke down on the way. In the midst of our nervousness in making our flight, the estancia’s own employee Guadeloupe grabbed her personal car keys and took us to the airport herself. Who does this? I don’t know of another hotel or resort that makes you feel like family in this way - even on your way out.

Keep in mind, I’m leaving out some of the little touches and details they provide for you, because writing them here would be like spoiling the ending of a great book for the next visitor. You’ll have to stay and see for yourself. 10/10, we will be back.

La Bandada surpassed all our expectations. The place is stunning and most importantly the staff is incredible. They’ve payed attention to all details and were always one step ahead of us taking care of our needs.
Another great asset this place has is the food, all of it is made in house from their organic garden and tastes fantastic. My family is vegetarian and that wasn’t a problem at all. We’re definitely coming back!!

We have been there twice. Both have been exceptional experiences: the unique and stunning beauty of the place, the happy, caring and highly professional staff, the exceptional food. This has been a true outstanding experience! Highly recommended.
