Puesto Viejo Estancia

I spent a full week at Puesto Viejo Estancia in Cañuelas for a Polo Holiday, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The property is vast, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by stunning nature. Despite its size, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and family-like, which I truly appreciated.||All staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful. My room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The food was excellent – fresh, delicious, and varied.||The highlight of my stay was definitely the polo. There is a huge selection of school horses, and the quality of the polo ponies is outstanding, with suitable options for every level. As a polo beginner, I couldn’t have wished for a better introduction. My coach Guille deserves special praise – he was exceptionally dedicated, professional, and patient. He truly went above and beyond to support me, make me feel confident, and help me progress. Thanks to him, I learned so much and instantly fell in love with the sport.||My expectations were exceeded in every possible way. I’ve definitely caught the polo bug and will return to Puesto Viejo as soon as I can. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Great Place to spend time and relax. Service is friendly, the Farm is very tidy and arranged well.

SOLO TRAVELERS BEWARE: they say transportation is included, but once you agree to book, they tell you it is only included for more than 1 person. They then add a $280 transport fee or tell you to take an Uber, which is more than $150.

We landed in BA after a 10 hour overnight flight from the states. I had arranged with Puesto Viejo for a driver to pick us up at EZE and drive us to the hotel upon landing, which was a huge help. It was very relaxing the spend our jet lagged day on the premise. We laid by the pool, enjoyed a leisurely lunch and rode bicycles around the property. We were going to ride horses but my husband wasn't feeling well so we opted to relax instead, though everyone who went looked to have a good time!||We enjoyed dinner onsite, the food is very good. The rooms have AC and were comfortable. All of the staff was very helpful and spoke relatively good English to help combat my minimal Spanish.||I wrote this review mainly to highlight the wonderful attitude of the staff. After checking out and driving the hour plus to Buenos Aires, I got an email letting me know that I had left my Kindle in our room. Santiago offered to bring it to BA personally later that afternoon and dropped it off at our next hotel while we were out exploring the city. It was above and beyond and I am truly appreciative! Thank you to the staff for a great stay.

We spent a delightful afternoon here enjoying the beautiful ambience. Elegantly decorated with very friendly hosts. Chill or go for a walk, swim or ride a pony..... Delicious afternoon tea with table groaning full with home made cakes, biscuits and sandwiches. Fruit also as you prefer. Lunch was epic and was a meat-eaters delight. Watch the local birds and the polo ponies practicing their moves. Extremely relaxing atmosphere and easy to unwind in such beautiful surroundings.

Booked the Polo Day and Stay. Polo lesson was with Fabian, not the resident instructors. Fabian is extremely personable and patient. Thank you!||Staff at PV very friendly and welcoming - Hi Santiago, Aaron, Fabian and Agustin!. However, a bit of a communication gap at times. Booking wasn't as straightforward as expected, requiring many emails to get questions somewhat answered/clarified. Javier picking me up was quite a bit earlier than expected so a bit rushed. Once at the estancia, didn't realize I would be riding right after a short introduction on the ground so would have been better to be warned to be in my riding boots from the outset. Then unclear how the meals were to be served.- felt awkward wondering where I was supposed to go/sit. No Malbec wine as advertised. Most major communication discrepancy was the price/duration of the extra, private ride - was quite a bit shorter and not private, so a price reduction would have been fair.||The estancia and polo grounds are very lovely and expansive with charming, rustic accommodation. My only minor disappointment was the quality of towels and toilet paper. - might have expected soft, higher grade towels and tp for this level of establishment. The minimal shower glass plate does little to prevent water from splashing and spraying onto the floor of the bathroom - this design flaw quite common in many places abroad though, not just here.||Bottom line, met lots of nice people and had a memorable time for a moderately high price.

Two years after my last trip due to the pandemic, I was finally able to fly to Buenos Aires with no problem and check in at Puesto Viejo. Lili , Jeremy and Hernan have done a great job keeping and improving the property during the pandemic.||The reservation process with Manu was seamless . The car was waiting for me at the airport. The new hotel manager, Romina, is spectacular as are the reception managers Aaron and Leandro. The new chef Claudio is excellent as is the service provided by Angie and Mili. My room had been prepared for me by Anita and Mariana with great care before my arrival and everybody made me feel at home. Majo, the polo manager, arranged for me the best horses for stick and balling as well as organized the chukkers to my convenience. Playing chukkers with pro Santiago de Estrada is a true treat. ||In short, PV which was already in my view the best place to learn and play polo in Argentina, is back with an even greater focus on superior hospitality and good times.||Thank you PV team for making my stay unforgettable !

WOW! My husband and I decided to take a polo lesson during our honeymoon in Buenos Aires. We were complete beginners and went just to learn something new, coming from the states. EVERYTHING from the booking, breakfast, lunch, lessons were so professional and amazing. Julio was such a good instructor. He taught us everything from how to ride our horse, hold the polo stick and work on different swings. We took a lesson with someone more experienced than us. Our instructor did so well working with each of us individually so we had a great time together. The staff was so nice, food was great and the estancia was so beautiful. With the full day polo, we got access to the entire place so we even sat by the pool and relaxed on the hammock. So beautiful. Don't be nervous, do this no matter what level you're at! I highly recommend it! Definitely a big highlight of our honeymoon. Thank you! :)

This place was awesome!!!! Highly recommended! My friends we traveled w had never ridden in their life and they talk about how it was the best thing we did in Buenos Aires before traveling to Patagonia.
