When people hear the words "luxury estancia", they often picture marble floors and white-gloved butlers. Here in the hills of Córdoba, our idea of luxury is a little different - and we think it's all the better for it. For us, real luxury is space, time, great horses, wonderful food and feeling completely at home.
Space, Silence and Big Open Argentine Skies
Perhaps the greatest luxury of all is space. At Los Potreros, you wake up surrounded by rolling hills, with nothing but birdsong and the odd neigh from the paddock. There's no traffic, no crowds and often no one else in sight.
Out on the horses, you can ride for hours through the Sierras Chicas without seeing another soul. It's a kind of peace that's very hard to find in everyday life.
Beautiful Rooms With Real Character and Comfort
We have just nine individually decorated rooms, each with its own character. Our newest rooms, Acaia and Quebracho, are built on the foundations of one of the oldest buildings on the estancia, which once hosted the very first family visitors.
Each has an ensuite with a walk-in shower, a wood burner for chilly evenings, original-style wooden parquet floors and bedspreads handwoven in Salta. It's comfort with a real sense of place.
Wonderful Food and Long, Unhurried Meals Together
Meals are one of the highlights of any stay. Our kitchen team cooks generous, delicious food, from long lunches to asados over the coals of the parrilla. And there's always time for a wine tasting, where we choose wines to suit each group and share a little about what makes Argentine wine so special.
Riding Great Horses Through the Córdoba Hills
For riders, there's no greater luxury than a great horse. Our Criollos are strong, sure-footed and wonderful companions in the hills, and we swap horses twice a day so you get to know lots of different characters. For experienced riders, there's also our herd of smooth, gaited Peruvian Pasos.
Time to Relax, Recharge and Do Nothing at All
Luxury is also about having the freedom to do exactly what you want. Ride all day, or skip a ride and curl up with a book. Go for a walk, watch the birds, enjoy a siesta or simply sit outside with a drink as the sun goes down.
We're a family-owned working cattle ranch, now in our third generation, and our aim is simple: for every guest to feel like part of the family. If that sounds like your kind of luxury, we'd love to welcome you to Los Potreros.
