Legado Mitico Buenos Aires

Mar 02 2013
Filed In: Argentina, Buenos Aires, FeaturedSlider, Hotels

Last week I had the chance to spend a night at the Legado Mitico Buenos Aires, a charming emblematic boutique hotel in the neighborhood of Palermo SOHO. Born to provide their guests with excellent service and transmit the best of Argentinean history and culture. They are emblematic because they reflect the Argentinean identity.

Estancia La Bamba de Areco

Feb 28 2013
Filed In: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Carlos Melia Favorites Hotels, carlosmeliafavorite1, Estancias, FeaturedSlider, Featuredtravelvideo2, Hotels

I have been to San Antonio de Areco multiple times in previous visits to Buenos Aires, but I must say that never before in such style and sophistication. Ideally located only 120 km from Buenos Aires and close to San Antonio de Areco in the heart of the Pampa, one of the oldest estancias in Argentina, recently renovated with great care as a boutique hotel, successfully combines luxurious comfort and colonial elegance.

All local brands with stores worldwide but almost 50% off. Yes people, believe or not, I also do outlets, not all can be Lanvin or Barney’s in your life.

Gauchos and Folklore at La Bamba de Areco


Filed In: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Estancias, FeaturedSlider

Over the weekend on my search for off the beaten path luxury experiences outside Buenos Aires, I came to the rural area of San Antonio de Areco, known by many as the cradle of the Guacho culture, right in the heart of the region known as La Pampa. For this I visited and stayed overnight at Estancia La Bamba de Areco, located approximately two hours from the city of Buenos Aires.

I have just Checked IN at yet, another fabulous small boutique property in Argentina, this time approximately 40 minutes away from the city of Buenos Aires, in the district of San Isidro.
