We passed six lazy days at Posada Las Perdices in December 2014 (hello heatwave!) with our 18-month old son. This was easily the most relaxing portion of our 3-week Argentina trip. 

Nestled in the Sierras Chicas, around an hour by gravel track taxi from Cordoba, the place is quite similar to a high-end French-style 'gite' destination; in other words, you're renting a room in the countryside close to a main building where the food is served. 

I don't believe Posada Les Perdices is a working farm. But with all the animals wandering around (dogs, cats, horses, goats etc.) it certainly feels that way. Plus the family there grow a bunch of their own herbs and veg, and well as raising chickens etc., which they cook with. 

Speaking of all things edible, the grub on offer here is truly excellent. As regular cooks ourselves, we were delighted by how happy the family were to offer up delicious local suggestions and then to also tailor these exactly to our liking. The molten-in-the-middle chicken empanadas forwere scrummy. They also do a fine line in Asian-style veggie ravioli. 

Our room, located over the stream and up on the hill, was clean and functional. Our only gripe was the fan. In typical December temperates of 25-30C the lack of AC probably wouldn't have bothered us, but sadly 2013's December heatwave (of temps 40C+) made sleeping tricky. And we didn't keep the cranky old ceiling fan on since its rocky revolutions sounded like a swordfight. Certainly we would recommend that they replace that with a quieter version. And maybe then keep the generator running so that the fan runs all night, not just until midnight. 

Down at the main building, aside from a dining room and tables on the terrace outside, there is a small swimming pool (about 10 breaststrokes end to end, so at least bigger than a plunge pool). Perfect for falling into on a hot afternoon, or after a hike. 

In terms of recommending things to do, we can't offer much as we would mess around in the nearby river with our son in the morning, then snooze, then hit the pool in the afternoon. But that's just what we needed after spending the preceeding 3 days sweltering our way around Buenos Aires.

A generous helping of foodie farm style relaxation

I have just came back from a visit to Argentina. There, my Argentinean friends invited me to visit Candonga. I found a hidden paradise located in the province of Cordoba, right in the core of the small sierras, surrounded by crystal waters. I reached my room after crossing a natural stream of cryatline water.  In the morning I started my day with a crusty bread, jam made from Candonga trees and fresh milk directly from their cows. Fernando and her wife, Susana, prepared the breakfast and all the meals natural and tasty. They are so good hosts that I felt part of their family. The building was constructed in stone, brick and wood exactly as the Jesuit style and it is surrounded not only by horses, donkeys, sheeps and goats but also by a beautiful flora and a variety of colorful singing birds.  It will be impossible for me to forget these relaxing days spent in Candonga. I returned so renovated that I recommend to visit this wonderful place to all my busy friends.

A hidden paradise in Cordoba

Might take a while and courage to drive there, especially if you're new to argentina, but its all worth it at the end.  Nestled in a small valley in the low mountain ranges that ultimately lead to the Andes, its a small haven where farm animals (horses, goats, sheep, ducks, dogs etc.) roam free.  The hosts are very attentive to their clients and while language can be a bit of an obstacle, after a while you will feel like you've known them for a long time.  Horse back rides are great though perhaps somewhat challenging if the first time on a horse!  Good home-made food will keep you satisfied if not up to 5 star level.

Nice rooms with sweeping views that make you feel away from it all.   In the dry season the power runs on a generator so power can be iffy and generally runs from 8 to 11 pm but frankly it really doesn't matter as you will probaby not even notice.

Decent pool though it could use a bottom clean.  But you're in argentina, away from it all, in the real countryside so it really does not matter.  But after 3 nights it might be much if you're the "A" type.

Remote but a great experience

At first it seems the owners don't care to explain anything when you arrive (where breakfast is, the rooms, etc..) but it is just the lack of English spoken. Your bags and driven across a creek and up a hill to your room which is a lovely mix of rustic and modern with sweeping views of mountains and the creeks. The owners try to be as eco-friendly as possible with a water turbine (with a back-up generator when the water gets low). Most of the delicious food is prepared from the cows and chickens on the farm and very fresh. Their land is completely organic (which is a rarity in a land surrounded by genetically modified soy) The horseback rides were wonderful with great views of Cordoba or alongside creeks to waterfalls. Very peaceful - a good contrast to the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires or Cordoba. Be prepared to bring exact change in cash (no ATM there) and be clear in your emails what is included (ours included 3 meals, tea and guided horse rides and they tried to charge for rides when we checked out).

Hard to get to but worth it..

After driving 10 miles on a mountainous dirt road, thinking that no one could POSSIBLY live out here, you arrive at a beautiful valley and the charming village of Candonga, a village originally settled by the Jesuits. 1 mile further out of town lies the incredible inn of Posada Las Perdices, an organic farm run Suzanna and Fernando. If you're looking for a chance to experience the beauty of central Argentina, I can think of no better place. 

Your accommodations will be in a beautiful stone bungalow lying either at the top of a hill or along a creek and your meals will be some of the best you will have in all of Argentina. Suzanna is a gourmet cook and uses as many products from her farm as possible: the lasagne made with goat meat was FABULOUS! Fresh breads, fresh vegetables. . . . it was a welcome change from the empanadas and bland pastas I had been eating prior to our visit. As my daughter and I were the only guests that evening, we got to hang out in the kitchen and watch her cook . . . and even exchange recipes!

Your hosts will pamper you and give you an experience you'll never forget. I must add, however. .  if you don't like animals, you probably wouldn't like it for they are EVERYWHERE!  -- all kinds and all shapes. But for us, that only lent to its charm. If you're looking for beauty, serenity, and GREAT photo opportunities, brave the mountain road and book a night or two at Posada Las Perdices
