The Hotel offers accommodation in rooms
with heating, which were decorated taking into account our
guests' comfort. 5 main suites and 8 suites are placed in
the historical homestead (former home of Dr. Alberto Gallinal
and his family); we have another 21 rooms at the hostal (Dr.
Gallinal's guesthouse)
The "estancia" (ranch) has a recreational
area with an air-conditioned indoor swimming pool, two open-air
swimming pools, a playroom (including pool tables, table football
and table tennis), a Pub holding another billiard table and
a bar, two TV rooms (one of them having a 61" screen and a
DVD projector); we also have a significant amount of videos
and DVD films; for sport lovers we have a tennis court, a
basket ball court, a basketball field and other recreation
facilities. -
The Hotel has a Catholic Chapel for 150
people where the Mass, Marriages and Baptisms are celebrated
in a wonderful environment of full contact with Nature. The
service we provide includes a horse driven carriage ("charret")
and all that was usual in XIX-century traditional marriages.
We have added a dance-hall for 250 people
so that Birthday, Anniversary
and
Marriage parties may be also held at "San Pedro de Timote".This
hall is located at the Convention Center, and it gives a chance
for parties or meetings of up to 500 guests to be held at
the different Convention Center levels.
A day in our country life
A day at the Estancia begins with colonial
breakfast. Then those who wish so, can go riding on horseback
or on a cart pulled by a tractor to accompany the country
tasks carried out by our personnel on that day. We can also
go for walks according to a schedule, which depends on the
general profile of the guests present at the Estancia.
Return to the homestead, gives time enough
to swim at the swimming pools, either indoors or outdoors,
according to the weather. Also practice any sports on the
various courts formerly mentioned, or just relax on our well
provided bar and Pub. After lunch, free
time, and according to the guest's wishes, a trip to the nearby
arboretum can take place.
It's also remarkable the bush surrounding
the Timote creek, with its native slow growing species.
For
those who wish so, the milking routine can be observed at
the dairy farm in the evening.
An
afternoon snack is served.
At night, a photographic safari takes place.
Usually our guests can watch very closely the interesting
wild fauna present at the estancia.
This estancia has been for deadest a wild fauna sanctuary,
carefully preserved by us.
Carpinchos, also known as capybaras, (the biggest rodent
on earth), wild boars, foxes, ostriches, hares, three different
species of armadillos,etc. etc. etc.
are commonly seen.
Birds are so common at the homestead, that
they are simply taken for granted.
It should be underlined that, although
outings are scheduled, our guests are free to choose resting
and only resting, and enjoy de comfort provided
by our facilities. On Saturdays, good music
and candlelight accompanies dinner.
The same happens with our grass fed beef
