Estancia El Rocio
|
|
Only one hour away from Buenos Aires, you will find Estancia El Rocio, a stylish boutique country home. Perfect for Polo lovers. Amazing gourmet cousine and rooms finely decorated by the owner. Estancia El Rocío is any polo lover's dream. Patrice Graviere’s born in France, Argentinean by heart, constantly in love with the Pampas, he personally chose the perfect setting for the polo field and stables, landscaping the surrounding grounds to embrace the true feel of the Argentine Pampas whether one rides on horseback or just walks around the estancia.
The original structure of the cottage was impossible to rebuild so Patrice decided to pull it down and use its bricks for the new house that would have all the facilities and comforts he was used to. Patrice’s wife, Macarena Llambí who has a long history in fashion next to the world’s biggest brands like Hermés, was responsible for every detail of the decoration. Macarena personally chose each of the objects and trained the staff to offer an impeccable personalized service to their demanding international guests. Each corner of the house is finely decorated with exclusive pieces Macarena has collected in each of their trips and the colors of the walls were inspired by all the colors of the Argentine Pampas. Yellows and oranges resembling unforgettable sunsets and the bright greens of the surrounding trees are all present in each room welcoming the guests. Although the principal house is well heated through its central heating, the fireplaces brighten and give a warm, cozy atmosphere to the living room, dining room and library in the winter and cold autumn days. Guests can easily access Internet through Wi-fi, comfortably watch a DVD o a cable movie, or find a cozy corner where to relax and enjoy a great book from the library.
