Set in near El Chalten in a calm area of Patagonia, the Estancia La Quinta offers the comfort and coziness you need to spend a relaxing vacation surrounded by beautiful scenery. From the moment you wake up until the time you retreat to your room, let yourself be spoiled by the hotels staff and enjoy the beauty of the region's nature. After a rich breakfast buffet, pick a book in the library and relax by the fireplace. The dining room, which is located in the main ancient house, provides delicious dishes prepared with a variety of local products at lunch and dinner times. The Estancia La Quinta offers a free shuttle to the El Chaltén bus terminal, as well as several options of hiking, fishing and other outdoor activities. Hotel Rooms: 30

1) The owners, Alfredo and Patricia, were extremely friendly, gracious and helpful. When our plane was delayed, and we arrived rather late from El Calafate, they stayed up to welcome us, and serve us a light dinner. 2) Our dinner in the La Quinta restaurant was extraordinary! 3) It was so pleasant and restful to sit at breakfast or lunch and watch the cows and calves graze. La Quinta is simply a lovely experience! The controls in the shower were quite difficult to regulate.

The estancia is getting a bit too commercialized. There wasnt any home made food (apart from maybe the breakfast marmalade) which is one of the biggest attractions at Argentine estancias. There is a little restaurant in the estancia, where I really did not like that you have to pay for extra bread. In general it is too expensive in comparision to the experience you get.

The Estancia La Quinta was a great place to stay! The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the location is awesome (right outside of El Chalten, the access point to some of the most fabulous hiking and mountain scenery in South America). The food at their restaurant was also great and featured local dishes such as lamb with calafate sauce and trout. I would recommend the hosteria to anyone who loves friendly people and beautiful scenery.

Overall the hotel was nice. The owners who manage the hotel and are the staff, are very helpful and friendly. We were surprised however by the fact that it looks more like a hotel as opposed to a traditional estancia, there isn't much to do in the estancia itself (maybe our expectations were a little bit different). Also we were disappointed that they charges us (although the amount was not significant, 20 pesos) because we asked them to call the taxi company in calafate to take us to the airport once we get there (this the least thing you would expect from a 4 star hotel)

- Very nice place - Alfredo and Patricia and the personnel are really kind and nice people - the dinner is really good - You need to take a taxi from el chalten (40 pesos) to reach the estancia. However, Alfredo offers a "shuttle service" in the morning and in the afteroon to reach el chalten and the senderos start point.

Very friendly staff, esp. Owner who speaks flawless English and who made very good suggestions for the best use of our time. Breakfast good and hearty but typical Argentine/American breakfast. Very clean. Owner very enlightening and answers questions of all types re life in this area and his background. Would stay again. Note-this place is not in town but is about 5-10 minutes out of town but signs could not be easier to find the hotel. Can see it easily on the way into town.

Run by a wonderful couple who have lived on the Estancia for years, this is just outside El Chalten with lovely views of the steppe and mountains, with horses and cows right outside the rooms. Free shuttles to the trails, interesting history, comfortable rooms. Not for someone who wants to go to bars at night.

The hotel was clean. We found the owner to be very rude. Their restaurant on site only had 1 vegitarian dish so we decided that we would get food from town and bring it home and we were scolded by the owner for bringing food home! The owner said there was a note on the back of our door telling us no food in rooms from outside...howevevr we never saw this note. It felt like we were in a military household the entire time. The town is very far...we were ready to walk however not 1 1/2 hrs!!

The family running the hotel are tops. They have a magical spot where you can kick back relax and still hike and wander the mountains. The place is beautiful.

The setting against the mountains with abundant animal life around (cows, horses, dogs, birds) made for a very inviting and agreeable stay. Breakfast was minimal.

The peace and quiet of the location, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff (especially the owner Alfredo), the restaurant. The distance from the town of El Chalten was somewhat inconvenient.
