We want to spend a few days in the countryside with a pool in late December / early January. I spotted a fancy estancia and I think we could splurge a little this year since we won't be doing any long distance traveling at all. I found La Bamba de Areco, which I have heard as recommended from other expats for years, however the displayed rate is 735 USD per night?! I think that not even the Presidential suite at the fanciest hotel in Recoleta is that expensive. I clicked on the 'RESERVATION' button on their website, so this IS their fee.
Needless to say, my search continues...
