Estancia La Sofia Boutique Hotel & Polo Resort , Argentina

Estancia La Sofia Boutique Hotel & Polo Resort is a place to spend your vacation, relax and play polo or take a ride on horseback.

Located in the middle of the Argentine countryside, but only 100 km (60 miles) from Buenos Aires, La Sofía is an oasis of calm. It was created by its owners, who, together with their staff, take excellent care of the facilities and their guests.

La Sofía is a colonial-style ranch with six spacious, comfortable and welcoming en-suite rooms that invite our guests to relax. The trademark of our boutique hotel is our passionate attention to detail and outstanding customer service.

The outdoor pool is located next to the polo fields, with open views of the Pampa. A bar service is offered throughout the day.

The view and the silence of the countryside, the whisper of the leaves, the sound of the cicadas, the neighing and galloping of the horses, the singing of the birds... a perfect place to relax and enjoy, get a massage, take a ride on a bike or read a book under a tree.

  • Bird Watching
    It’s actually been our guests - bird lovers - who have taught us the variety and quantity of birds to be observed at Estancia La Sofia. The preservation of pure nature attracts numerous species. Early mornings seem a concert. We have a Suite on the second floor, surrounded by the birds singing in the morning, which actually therefore is called The Birds' Suite.

    The owl couple lives next to the Polo field and during the summers the Colibri or Hummingbird is around the flowers. The impressive and massive houses of the hornero bird can be observed in trees and fence posts.
