Estancia la Cinacina

We have been coming to CinaCina regularly for many years and use this hotel as a meeting place for a family weekend with friends, whenever we come to Argentina. Here we always experience the uniqueness of nature, the peace and the deceleration in the "Campo", just over 100km from Buenos Aires. O|One can see the challenges to keep this aging infrastructure in good shape, but the team is doing well in making sure that everything works perfectly: heating, hot water, internet, and a good shower. Everything was clean and the beds were simply perfect, so that after a while in busy Buenos Aires you can sleep really soundly like a bear. |But above all the magic of the place with the well maintained surroundings and the warmth of all the employees alone are enough reason to come here again and again. |The price/performance ratio is great, and the beautiful village with good restaurants can be easily reached on foot. |Each time our family goes for a 45-minute tour on horseback, which is a lot of fun we have together and it is very easy to organize, at a very good price.|We would like to thank the CinaCina team (and especially Mariela) for another very warm stay and hope to see each other again soon.|Rolf, Marisa with family & friends

We spent three days at this wonderfully relaxing Estancia at the end of at two month tour of Argentina. The place is a delight, the pool enormous, the grounds equally so and the room charmingly simple. The staff could not have been more helpful to two non Spanish speaking old Brits and breakfast was delicious. The town is a ten minute stroll, very pretty with great architecture, artisans and a few bars and restaurants. Perfect place to relax.

We stayed here our last night in Argentina. The staff was very helpful in arranging transportation to and from the two airports in Buenos Aires. They also had great recommendations of things to do and where to eat. The accommodations were rustic, and since we were off-season, there were very few guests. But the grounds are spacious and there are places to walk.

Wonderful country place. It’s a nice, caring and peaceful place where you can find the real pampas’s tradition experience! Mariela is the soul of the place making you feel at home! If you want to taste the country side and the real gaucho experience, don’t miss this beautiful place!

The Estancia was exactly what we expected. The innkeeper, Mariela, stayed late the night we arrived to check us in. She is warm and friendly and gave us a map of Areco and suggested places to visit and where to eat. We walked into the center of the old town .... only 6 blocks. Our family of 4 were the only guests the 2 nights we stayed there. The breakfast room is lovely and we had a fire in the fireplace the 2nd night while drinking our wine. Breakfast is simple but delicious. The rooms are on the small side but are comfortably rustic. The bathrooms is good size and beds are comfy. You get a taste of the gaucho life while staying here. The best choice within walking distance of the center of town.

We visited for a couple of nights as a break from touring. Nice place to stay, no frills but none the worse for that. Lovely pool and very friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed a ride round the estate but, don’t forget insect repellent as we did! I’m still scratching!

A peaceful and relaxing interlude from a hectic schedule by enjoying the rustic charm of a by gone era with relics of an estancia. The room was large, warm with hot water for shower and bath. The afternoon tea with cake by a flaming fire was most enjoyable. Breakfast was basic with good coffee and fresh orange juice. On site horse riding is available Thursday to Sunday but can be arranged on other days

Warm welcome & local restaurant advice from Mariela. Our room had very comfortable bed & powerful shower. |Rustic large guest room where breakfast & afternoon tea are served. |Set in 100 acres on edge of town but only 8 blocks walk to centre.
