"The countryside around Buenos Aires is dotted with traditional <em>estancias</em>, or ranches, many of which, like Estancia La Bandada, have been converted to hotels. This hacienda-like boutique hotel sits at the heart of a working farm; you’ll see grazing horses from your seat at the generously laid communal breakfast table. Ride one around the grounds, if you please, or relax by a pool shaded with huge old trees. This low-key getaway radiates rustic charm, from the sunny patio where afternoon tea is served to the quiet guest rooms with original wood-beamed ceilings and paintings by the artist owner. Family-style dinners are built around local produce — if you’re lucky, you’ll get to experience a classic Argentine barbecue." - Tablet Hotels
