Sometimes the prices are a bit more expensive than other Gauchos towns
In a nutshell
Perfect for the afternoon, back to BsAs for the night!

El Museo "La Recova" de Gasparini
Wade123 Says: Miguelangel Gasparini is a very nice man who has his museum/art shop next door to the Restaurante Almarca de Ramos Generales on the corner of Zapiola and Segundo Sombra. He specializes in gaucho art. He has scores of paintings laying about dealing with everything...
Jasoninlondon Says: In this town you have the chance to see real Gauchos (or cowboy types). We were lucky enough to be in town when there was a big show with markets and all kinds of displays and competitions.
Estancia El Ombú de Areco: A great Estancia
punkpin Says: This was a great introduction for me to Argentina. Culturally, it is a great place and perfect for a full day and night. It is a nice place, although not a luxury style hotel.
Hotel Los Abuelos: Noisy if you have neighbours....
anabelsousa Says: Well located, in front of the river, and one blck from "parrillas" restaurantes, and " Puente Viejo"Free bycilces, and the owners are very kind, but is really noisy if you have neighbours in the hotel...
Hotel Fuaz: A nice hotel but a bit far from el centro
Wade123 Says: When I arrived at the little bus 'station' in late November (spring), it was rather warm and humid. A very short walk with my small backpack quickly taught me that a hotel with AC was necessary (I dont like to sweat while trying to sleep). The first place that I tried was...
Corazonada: Best food & experience!
zevaz Says: By chance I got to know this place. It is a private restaurant where the chef cooked for us in a very nice place in the centre of San Antonio de Areco. Food was superb, fresh and tasty. It was probably our best experience so far in the pampas. We just went for lunch, we...
Puesto La Lechuza: Too bad lunch doesn't last all day
ellielou Says: Not far from where the bus drops you off in town, lies this amazingly inviting "pulperia." The food held no surprises, but the owners were wonderful, and provided a great history of the town, their families, and life in general. Fine empanadas, asados, salad, etc. Nothing...
Almacen de Ramos Generales: One of the few 'nice' restaurants we found
Wade123 Says: I wandered around this small town quite a bit and found very few nice restaurants. By this I mean, indoor seating with AC, tablecloths, a full menu, etc. Not a cafe serving sandwiches. This restaurant was recommended by a local. It had a very nicely decorated interior,...
Where do we go from here......?
Wade123 Says: Getting to San Antonio de Areco is pretty much restricted to either a bus or private car. Not having a car, busing it was my only alternative. From Retiro bus terminal in Buenos Aires, the only buses going to Areco seemed to be either Chevallier or General Belgrano. A one...
Peaceful place, and lovely people!
anabelsousa Says: Just 10 minutes from San Antonio de Areco, this "hacienda" is the best option for people who's stressed ... Is like being in XIX century at one ho ur of the Capital City of Argentina.Owned by a tradicional family from the town, you're gonna have a good time, anjoying na...
