Guest Reviews

• carrié (10/5): - Tout Rien
• YUAN (10/5): - Staff, view, facility nothing
• Katharine (7/5): -
• thibaut (10/5): - Séjour exceptionnel ! L’estancia est magnifique et les activités proposées sont incroyables, mention spéciale pour l’expédition à cheval avec des vues à couper le souffle et un repas délicieux en pleine nature. Le personnel est adorable et très attentionné, et la restauration sur place est excellente. Avec une petite attention qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus spécial ! Une expérience inoubliable, nous recommandons vivement ! Gracias por todos!!
• Cristina (8/5): Excelente experiencia. - Vista e localização. Cavalgada maravilhosa.
• Punlop (10/5): -
• Tina (10/5): - Die Lage ist wahnsinnig schön. Wie auf einer Postkarte. Traumhaft. Der Gästebereich mit Bar, Billiard und Chemineefeuer einfach perfekt. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut. Auch speziell zu erwähnen das wunderbare Asado des Gautschos beim Reitausflug. Die Preise sind schon ein ziemlich höher als im restlichen Patagonien Der Reitausflug war ein bisschen langweilig. Wir durften nur sehr langsam und in einer Reihe reiten.
• Oscar (10/5): Uma experiência única - Hotel fica na beira do lago. Lugar excepcional! As acomodações são excelente com uma linda vista.
• Ainars (9/5): -
• Melanie (10/5): Incredible property! - Food was amazing, views were incredible, a must stop if you are in Patagonia! Take the horse rides, you will not be disappointed. Some repairs could be done in the bathroom for a safer shower experience, very slippery and the safety bar was broken.
• chatsarun (10/5): we went on a horse riding with Issis.. She is awesome. If you plant to go for a horse riding, Request Issis !!!! The bes - i love it. super beautiful None
• Bourda (9/5): - L’emplacement est superbe, en pleine nature, face au Fitz Roy et au bord du lac Viedma. Ballades à pied , à cheval... Le personnel est aux petits soins Rien
• Adda (5/5): - The staff was not so nice with us, we had an activity planned early in the morning and we passed by the breakfast area to grab somenthing but the girl in the kitchen refuses to give us a yogurt as we were 20 minutes earlier than the usual opening of the breakfast.
• Roberto (10/5): -
• Yasmine (9/5): Estancia merveilleuse ! - Endroit merveilleux situé dans un cadre idyllique. Nous n’y avons fait qu’une nuit de passage mais aurions aimé y rester plus longtemps. La dame de l’accueil était souriante, lumineuse et très sympa.
• Elizabeth (10/5): We loved our stay at Estancia La Estella. The beds are comfortable, the food was great. The area around it is beautiful. - The location next to the lake at the mouth of the river is breath taking. The road to it is long and bumpy but to be expected for a place off the beaten path.
• Kathrin (8/5): -
• FOURNIER (10/5): - Un endroit magnifique, un personnel adorable. La vue de la chambre est exceptionnelle. Nous avons très bien dîné, le petit déjeuner est complet. Nous avons également fait la balade à cheval, dans un cadre superbe et profité du meilleur empenadas et sandwich de notre vie !! Penser à recharger le buffet du petit déjeuner pour que les derniers aient encore du choix
• minghetti (9/5): -
• Silvina (10/5): - Excelente. Un lujo en medio de la estepa patagonica. Las cenas con platos a nivel gourmet. Excelente desayuno. Vista única desde las habitaciones. Calidez del lugar. Todo el personal amable y eficiente. Fue una de mis mejores estadías en la patagonia. Y lo más importante para mi son Pet frendly
• Aman (10/5): - Very special property overlooking the lake and river.
• Cromback (10/5): -
• valerie (10/5): Parfait - Très belle expérience dans cette estancia située le long de la mythique Route 40. L’endroit est magnifique, en pleine nature, avec une atmosphère authentique et très paisible. La chambre était confortable et offrait une vue superbe sur les paysages de Patagonie. Se réveiller dans un cadre aussi calme et naturel est vraiment un moment privilégié. Le restaurant est également excellent, avec des plats savoureux et des produits de qualité. C’est un vrai plaisir de pouvoir dîner sur place après une journée sur la route ou à explorer les environs. On se sent vraiment bien accueilli. Une étape que nous recommandons sans hésiter sur la Route 40.
• Cosetta (10/5): Highly recommend Estancia La Estela for a restful, beautiful stay in Patagonia. - Main lobby was gorgeous! Grounds and views were spectacular. Horseback riding trip was just right, very slow and scenic as we have zero experience. Star gazing was an added bonus and unexpected. Breakfast was delicious, they made us eggs to order. Dinner was good and accommodated my daughters' food restrictions. All staff were super attentive. Steak was a little tough.
• Cherry (10/5): A unique, authentic and memorable stay - The location was spectacular with amazing views, and the room was very comfortable and clean. The staff so friendly and helpful, and the horse riding experience was well organised and so memorable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Nothing!
• Alessandro (10/5): -
• Beatriz (10/5): Dos días de ensueño - Dos días estupendos. Nos alojamos en la estancia una noche. El día que llegamos dimos un paseo, descansamos y cenamos. La cena un 10, las empanadas de carne riquísimas! Al día siguiente hicimos una cabalgata con almuerzo. Un paseo a caballo por el lago Viedma para recordar. Ojalá repitamos pronto.
• HELENA (10/5): Séjour inoubliable en famille dans une estancia ! - La vue, la chambre, le grand calme de l'estancia sans se sentir isolé pour autant, le restaurant, le salon avec billard, l'écurie avec la balade à cheval incroyable! Tout était parfait.
• Pierre (10/5): The staff was very professionnel, everything in though in details. The food was exellent. The horse riding experience wa - You feel like you are at the end of the world. N/A
• Marie (10/5): Extraordinaire / à ne pas manquer! - ! Nous avons tout adoré le personnel, les équipements, le restaurant et que dire de la vue’! Nous avons eu la chance de faire la randonnée à cheval et cela nous a vraiment plu malgré le fait que nous n’avions pas ou peu d’expérience équestre! Je ne peux que recommander cet endroit.
• Thibaut (10/5): Expérience incroyable - Très belle expérience, hors du temps avec une vue sublime et un personnel au petit soins. Nous recommandons la balade à cheval pour les débutants, très agréable Restaurant un tout petit peu cher
• Francesca (10/5): Ricorderemo per sempre il soggiorno in questa struttura che ci ha fatto vivere emozioni uniche, dall’arrivo alla partenz - Estancia perfetta per un momento di pace dopo le escursioni di El Chalten. Affacciata direttamente sul lago Viedma offre camere ampie ed arredate tradizionalmente. Se siete fortunati come noi potrete vedere il Fitz Roy sullo sfondo non solo dalla camera ma direttamente dalla doccia! La colazione é a buffet sufficientemente ricca. La cena molto buona, sicuramente la carne merita! La stanza della colazione e cena era un po’ fredda per potersele godere pienamente.
• Karin (10/5): - Unique location on the water
• Rob (10/5): -
• Franco (10/5): -
• Armance (9/5): Un lieu magique au cœur de la Patagonie - Une expérience formidable au cœur de la Patagonie, lieu magique, très calme, on est immergé dans le paysage. La balade à cheval également proposée était formidable et l’équipe très prévenante. Le petit déjeuner était peut-être un peu en dessous de ce qu’on aurait pu espérer.
• Alexia (10/5): - Beautiful place by the lake. Gorgeous views. The staff is amazing: friendly and attentive (making you feel special). But still feels like home. Amazing attention to details. Delicious food. Very comfortable immaculate rooms (with tea/coffee, I love that). Softest sheets on the bed. Big windows with those gorgeous views. Lovely horse ride for just me and my daughter. Very special stay. Wished we had stayed longer ;)
• Creamy 7777 (9/5): - The room is very beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast is good, diner was good when there was a buffet.
• Bernadett (10/5): - Amazing location, hidden away from the main road. Beautiful setting, room was spacious and the view was stunning! Horse riding experience was great and the home made empanadas and steak sandwiches on the open fireplace halfway really made the experience special!!
• Filipe (10/5): -
• Francois (4/5): A éviter. - les chambres sont grandes, le cadre naturel est superbe, et les promenades a cheval au bord du lac sont exceptionnelles ... L hôtel est géré comme une cash machine, les horaires de fin du petit déjeuner et l absence d option a moins de 100km rendent la situation tres pénible. Même l eau est payante, a un cout tres elevé, et n est servi qu en petites bouteilles au compte goutte. Le restaurant est une arnaque complète, 4 ou 5 plats au choix, pas de plat pour les enfants, et le plat de pates le moins cher est a 30$,. La faible qualité des plats et de la cuisine est en accord avec les politique du "vous n avez pas d autre choix que notre cantine et vous allez le sentir"... A peine deux ou trois vins tres faibles a la carte, encore une fois au prix d un bon bordeaux.... En plus de la faible qualité du restaurant pour le prix, le service est une catastrophe, on se fait expulser a 9h31 le matin et a 21H31 le soir. Presque au Bout du Monde, seul a des centaines de kilometres, on espere une relation plus accueillante et chaleureuse... Bref, joli hotel, mais mauvais esprit et pas recommendable plus de deux jours, surtout avec des enfants.... Pour finir, les propriétaire ne ce sont pas donné la peine de mettre des rideaux occultants, le reveil est à 4h du matin l été... Nous avons passé 4 nuits sur place et nous avons été heueux d en partir !
• Kelly (10/5): What a gorgeous gem of a place with amazing staff, amenities and cuisine! - The place was charming with upscale amenities and delicious food. The horseback riding along the lake with a delicious gourmet lunch was I big on the cake! What started as a stopover became a destination. I have no complaints.
• Holger (10/5): -
• Stanislaw (10/5): Great stay. - Location and the service.
• nadege (10/5): Un.cadre idyllique au bord du lac Viedma - L'emplacement, la vue incroyable sur le lac et le fitz roy, le grand confort des chambres panoramiques, le bon restaurant, une carte postale !! Le transfert payant et cher (20 dollars pour 10 minutes !) pour pouvoir entrer dans la Estancia depuis la gare de La leona....
• Laure Figueiredo Couto (10/5): -
• Holger (10/5): Wonderful! - Perfect place to discover El Chalten und El Calafate. Extremely friendly stuff. Good food. All perfect!
• Veronica (10/5): Un sogno - Tutto incredibile, dovevamo stare solo una notte ma abbiamo prolungato perché sembra di essere in un sogno. Camera spaziosa, ben arredata, vista incredibile su lago e Fritz roy, silenzio assoluto, letto molto comodo, possibilità di fare the e caffè, bagno ampio e ben equipaggiato. Il resto della Estancia è altrettanto speciale, sia la sala bar con divani, caminetto e giochi da tavola, sia la sala ristorante. Voto 10 alla cucina: colazione e cene più buone di tutta la vacanza. Bei piatti curati nei dettagli e molto saporiti. Colazione molto varia e ben assortita. Gita a cavallo incredibile. Personale giovane e molto gentile. Da rimanere lì per sempre!
• Tabitha (10/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): Un assaggio di Patagonia da non perdere - Struttura molto curata con panorama splendido sul lago e sulle montagne della Patagonia. Tappa imperdibile per chi si sposta da El Calafate verso El Chalten. Assolutamente consigliata anche l'esperienza a cavallo
• Mara (10/5): Amazing magical place - perfect to unwind and relax in the quiet Great and very helpful staff, beautiful common room, a - Amazing magical place - perfect to unwind and relax in the quiet Great and very helpful staff, beautiful common room, amazing food Unbelievable views Definitely one of our highlights in Patagonia
• BARBARA (9/5): -
• Leanne (10/5): The highlight of our trip to Patagonia! - Everything!! The location and views are so beautiful and could be seen from our room, which felt very special. Big room with an area to sit and relax. Everything was super clean and tastefully decorated. Staff are all so friendly and helpful! Nicole in particular was always on hand to help, and we enjoyed meeting Carlos in the evenings at the bar. Breakfast was a good selection of items, and meals at the restaurant were great too. We also did the horseriding and lunch experience which was something completely new for us - highly recommend! Nothing
• Walter (9/5): -
• Marco (7/5): -
• FEDERICO (10/5): - Soggiornare in una estancia sicuramente è un'esperienza da non mancare in Argentina. La struttura è posizionata in uno scenario naturale incredibile, con vista sul lago e le montagne circostanti. La vetrata della camera è veramente uno spettacolo. Buono il ristorante e la colazione.
• Giovanni (9/5): -
• BESSON (10/5): -
• Ekaterina (10/5): Great place to stay between El Calafate and El Chalten - We stayed at this accommodation on our way from El Calafate to El Chalten. It was the best decision, because: the place stays on a beautiful lake Viedma, next to the La Leone river, so the views are fantastic here. If you are lucky and the weather is clear, you will see Fitz Roy and Torres mountains across the lake! The staff is amazing, helpful and friendly. There was a feeling, like you were staying at somebody’s rancho - there are a lot of nice and stylish details, there is a fireplace in the lobby, where is nice and cozy to observe all the beauties of the location! The breakfast was nice, the houses have 4 rooms each. Standard room is not that big, but you have more things to do in a leaving room of the house: tv, books, fireplace, kettle and everything for the tea/coffee.
• Ravi (10/5): - Awesome location. Great staff. Accommodated our late arrival and served us dinner. Wish we could have longer than a night.
• Eduardo (3/5): Excelent location and structure but badly managed. I do not recommend - Location and comfort of the room are great I felt in a tourist trap. All the prices were in US dollars, but they had no change in dollars. They offered change in Pesos Argentinos for an outrageous exchange (1000 peso for 1 dollar, but the regular exchange is 1450 pesos for 1 dollar), they did not give any receipt, the employees were under staff and stressed. To top off I scheduled horseback riding but they had no horses available and had to reschedule for later. They also said that there was not required horseback experience and said that the horses were very calm and would not run. But, in reality, as my wife mounted on the horse it started running and she got scared. She was offered do dismounted what she did, but they did not want to refund the money or aloud me to speak with the manager. I had to insist until I received may money back. It was very stressful and ruined my day.
• Jenny (9/5): Estancia La Estela is a good place to relax and recharge on your travels. - We stayed here after hiking in El Chalten. It was a good place to relax before heading down to Torres del Paine. I would suggest 1 or 2 nights. A highlight was the horse ride, with lunch cooked over the fire at a shelter near the lake. The rooms are comfortable and there is a main lounge area with a beautiful view. There are books, board games, a pool table and a bar. The restaurant serves good dinners and breakfast was included. All staff were very friendly and helpful.
• Yuichi (10/5): -
• Nino (10/5): -
• Gaël (9/5): - Unique place where you would like to stay longer A 25% surcharge has been applied as I paid by crédit card. This is the only place where it happened and made that stay quite expensive
• Dorothee (10/5): Wunderbarer Ort zum entspannen - Wunderschöne Lage mit grandiosem Blick auf den Viedma See und die Berge von El Chalten. Wir waren dort für zwei Nächte und können es nur empfehlen. Reitausflüge und kurze Wanderungen zum See möglich, sonst sehr viel Ruhe. Das Restaurant abends war überraschend gut!
• Rachele (10/5): Un paradiso, un soggiorno in cui tutto è stato perfetto - Un paradiso! La vista dalla camere é qualcosa che difficilmente dimenticherete, una delle cose da vedere una volta nella vita. Tutto lo staff è disponibile, cortese e professionale. Un piacere ascoltare i racconti di Carlos davanti al camino della hall. Buono il rapporto qualità prezzo del ristorante, ampie e pulite le camere. Accoglienza e ospitalità impeccabili!
• MASTER (9/5): -
• Niek (9/5): - Amazing lake views from the restaurant and from your room. Great food and wine. The long horseriding + lunch experience was amazing. Staff was very kind and helpfull
• GiorgioneMlt (10/5): -
• Debora (10/5): -
• Elisabetta (10/5): - Tutto. La struttura è bella, curata, in un posto da cartolina. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Andare via
• Anastasia (10/5): Beautiful Estancia on the lake - It is located in a beautiful setting on Lake Viedma. It is exactly as you see on the photos - a hidden getaway surrounded by nature. Unfortunately we only stayed one night and didn’t make the most of the activities that they also have an offer. The staff were extremely nice and helpful and made us feel very special! We had a late check in and they were sooo accommodating. They even left a few empanadas in the kitchen for us because we arrived so late that we missed dinner. Very very thoughtful! It has that lovely personal touch that you just don’t get in the generic big hotels! Would 100 percent recommend and one day when we come back to Patagonia, I would definitely stay here again!
• Hector (9/5): A special isolated location with great views - Amazing views over Lake Viedma. Pleasantly furnished. Good food. Friendly staff. Nice walks around the estancia.
• Ramona (7/5): Kann man machen, muss aber nicht sein. - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist toll, ganz ruhig und abseits gelegen mit Blick auf das Wasser und im Hintergrund den Bergen. Unser Zimmer war schlicht aber gemütlich eingerichtet. Allerdings sind die Wände extrem hellhörig, sodass man alles von den Nachbarn mitbekommt. Ansonsten ist es ein schöner Ort um auszuruhen. Tatsächlich hat uns das Essen nicht überzeugt. Auf unserer Reise haben wir hierfür bisher am meisten gezahlt, aber es war definitiv nicht das beste Essen, sondern Durchschnitt.
• Hubert (10/5): Einfach angenehm und entspannt - Super schöne Unterkunft mir feinem Essen. Sehr ruhige Lage. Wunderschöner Sternenhimmel….
• Janeba (10/5): - Beautiful location, delicious food, friendly staff.
• Qing (9/5): Einzigartiger Aufenthalt in der Natur mit tollem Service - Freundlichkeit und Service des Personals, wunderbare Aussicht in einem geräumigen, geschmackvollen Zimmer Die Lüftung im Badezimmer hat einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch verströmt, war so eigentlich nicht nutzbar
• Antonio (9/5): -
• Clara (9/5): - habitaciones chulisimas, vistas inmejorables, entorno precioso y personal super atento actividades (cabalgata) un poco cara. está aislado, si es lo que buscas es perfecto, pero está muy lejos de todo
• patrick (8/5): Ambiance pampa argentine et emplacement superbe - L’emplacement dans la pampa et la vue
• Irene (10/5): Eine Estancia, die man sich leisten kann - und sollte ;) - Ruhig und schöne Lage mit toller Aussicht. Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und mit toller Aussicht zum See. Betten ausserordentlich bequem. Personal sehr freundlich, Aufenhaltsraum gemütlich und biete diverse Aktivitäten. Restaurant mit gutem Essen, nicht ganz günstig aber gute Qualität. Frühstücksbuffet inklusive und sehr vielseitig, wir konnten sogar noch Eier bestellen. Nichts
• Alexandra (10/5): Amazing experience - It’s a beautiful property next to the lake with amazing views, super friendly staff. We loved our stay here. N/a
• léa (10/5): - Cet endroit est magique ! Le cadre est sublime (la vue depuis la chambre également). Le restaurant sur place est bon. Le personnel est vraiment adorable et serviable. Nous avons fait la balade à cheval proposée par l'hôtel avec repas inclus (au refuge) nous avons adoré. Je recommande cet endroit. Rien
• Steven (9/5): Too windy to be a paradise - Location and staff Don’t go during the windy season! Horse tack equipment was old and falling apart
• Stephane (10/5): - L'emplacement et la vue, une expérience à réaliser, un personnel aux petits soins et surtout une très bonne table. Rapport qualité prix très intéressant.
• Sarah (8/5): Great staff, sublime views. A real treat - Amazing views When we stayed there were issues with the heating and we found the dining room very cold! Staff did what they could but it made eating less relaxing than it should have been!
• Maria (10/5): Absolutely must do - Great place in a remote location. Lovely, big room with a comfy bed and bath. The bar was nice and cosy and the meal at the restaurant was one of the best we had in Argentina. We loved the horse riding and the lunch prepared out in the open - amazing experience. Staff was exceptional too.
• Anne (10/5): Perfect! - We loved our time at Estancia La Estela. We stayed for 2 nights and it was the perfect place to relax after several days of hiking. Friendly and attentive staff, the food was excellent and we really enjoyed the horseback riding tour with lunch (best empanadas of our 3 week trip!). Highly recommend!
• Donna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angela (10/5): Fabulous place - Beautifully located around lago Viedma. From our room we had amazing view to Fitz Roy. Super clean, nice, warm and cozy room. Teastfully decorated. The restaurant and the bar of the estancia are fantastic too. And Samuel is a great host. We had fantastic time in this place at the end of the world. N/A
• Nikala (10/5): The views were amazing such a peaceful location - Amazing staff the horse riding lunch was superb
• Heather (10/5): Argentinian hospitality at its best. - The property is in a beautiful remote location with vast views all around. The staff is wonderful and welcoming. I was very impressed with the dinners and our horseback ride lunch. The common areas have games, views and a bar with a large fireplace for gathering. I have to mention the dark skies. No light pollution to spoil them. Leaving.
• Shana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Briony (8/5): Very good -
• Alia (4/5): Style over substance - The accommodation is beautiful, comfortable beds and the view is great. Staff are friendly. There appeared to be an element of disorganisation. When we arrived we had to go to another location called La Leona, which is across the road, there we have to announce our arrival and wait to be told we can go up. They offered us a coffee whilst we waited, which was nice. When we arrived, a friendly staff member explained everything which was useful. Unfortunately, we had not hot water for an hour, therefore could not have a shower on our arrival, we had travelled all day and wanted to have a shower and something to eat. We then realised we only had 1 towel between 2 of us. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was not good, it came out cold, not very flavourful and the fish I ordered was full of bones, which made it unpleasant to eat. The next morning, we made a coffee in the room and could not drink it, not sure if it was the water, but it tasted like plastic. Personally, this place is more style over substance.
• Sarah (10/5): Perfect Estancia - The perfect place to stay loved every minute. The location is incredible. Horse riding a must. Thank you Nothing
• Peter (9/5): Superb - Beautiful location with stunning views. Accommodation comfortable and characterful.
• William (9/5): Superb - The hotel is in a beautiful location, overlooking the water. When its clear you can see all the way to Fitz Roy. The room too was stunning, the huge window made the most of the view. Food in the restaurant was excellent too for breakfast and dinner. They kindly made us a packed breakfast one morning so we could leave early to do the Fitz Roy hike. The bar area is really nicely decorated and you can play pool! We enjoyed the horse riding but it was a bit expensive for what it was.
• Brenda (10/5): Loved this place - As soon as we got there, we were treated like royalty. Everyone so friendly, so professional. Nicole is just a sweetheart. The room was very nice. You see the mountains and the lake from the picture window. Only breakfast I had during my trip that had eggs and bacon. Steak dinner was very good. Went horse back riding. Not a bad price at all. The young gaucho,, Gonzalo was very nice like all Argentinians. Stopped for a snack and Gonzalo made a fire and we had this dough product that was like deep fried. Cant remember the name of them. They were tasty.. He told us alot about his country. Went through the sand dunes to the lake. Pretty cool. There was really nothing that I didnt like. Or maybe just trying to keep the building straight. Is this the restaurant or is this the bar.
