We spent a full week at La Margarita with our three children (aged 6, 10 and 12) and without a doubt it will be a hard one to beat. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home and had the run of the beautiful estancia and the gardens. The ranch goes on forever, grazed by big... More

4 of us stayed in the self catering apartments for 3 nights and had a great time. David and all his staff we really friendly. The horses were well trained and fun to ride. If you're lucky like we were you will get to hear David on the guitar or even sing. Would definitely recommend it as part of your... More

We were travelling South America Lonely Planet style on a shoestring, so I Never thought we would be able to afford to go to a proper cattle/gaucho ranch as part of our trip. I was really excited when I came across this place on the internet. The pictures and website looked amazing and during our travels in South America it... More

I worked as a volunteer at the Estancia for 6 weeks. As someone who has ridden horses in almost every country of South America, I can honestly say that these are some of the best horses around. Guests of all abilities were constantly surprised at how controllable and well mannered the horses were - they were able to steer, walk,... More

Unfortunately let down by the accomodation which is a bit like a student hostel - for the price of a good hotel. The place is very tired - could be amazing. The main accomodation wasnt available when we were there, and we were in the self catering accomodation. This was 3 shabby rooms, the bathroom with fittings falling off the... More

Dear Malcolm and family I am probably more unhappy than you that you didn’t enjoy your stay with us – it always upsets me when this happens (thankfully not very often) however, I realize that, although we try to, we can’t please everyone I would just like to make a few comments on your review about what happened. You sent... More

We went for the riding and weren't disappointed. The horses at La Margarita were the most well trained and responsive horses we rode in the whole of Argentina (we have visited 5 estancias in total), and possibly best I have ridden in the world! Ignacio, the gaucho has a true gift with horses. They are happy and healthy and beautifully... More

‘Estancia la Margarita is the perfect place to while away several happy days in Argentina. It’s a working Estancia, which means from the moment you arrive you feel involved in the day-to-day life of the ranch. Everyone is welcoming, the other guests were all friendly and fun, and David and Suzana run the establishment like their own home - which... More

I can't even begin to say enough good things about this estancia. Our experience here was absolutely incredible. We arrived by rental car from Buenos Aires. After struggling with Spanish for two weeks prior, we were excited to find the owners and staff spoke fluent English. The greeted us the moment we got out of our car and immediately took... More

Mu husband and I spent several days here in June. We chose La Margarita because it was far enough removed from BA so that it is not a touristy estancia, which we didn't want. It is quite authentic and much of the food we ate is from right there on the ranch, including the vegetables. Although it was cold and... More

My two sons (10 and 12) , my husband and I stayed at the estancia during the Argentinean wintertime, for three nights. The place is so relaxing and charming , you feel as if you are visiting your great aunt's ranch. We loved how the ranch has been maintained in it's original (well maybe not original original) condition and one... More
