History
Marcelo and Emma, your hosts, welcome you in the old manor house on the family property. We are the fourth generation of German settlers, still preserving the furniture, utensils and graphic heritage (books, documents and photographs) that once made our ancestors useful. Along with this, we preserve a small archaeological sample of the ancient indigenous inhabitants of the area who lived in the 1600s, found on our lands.
We rescue the gastronomy of the 19th century brought by the ancestors, such as the preparation of preserves, jams, homemade bread, vegetable gardens and all the delicacies of the old recipes of the time.
Seal S - Sustainability Policy
The term sustainable tourism emerged in the 90s, as an immediate response to the environmental impact that was evidenced by the increasing traffic of travelers.
La OMT, en el año 2000, agregó que «el turismo sustentable es aquel que atiende las necesidades de los viajeros actuales y de las regiones receptoras, al mismo tiempo que protege y fomenta las oportunidades para el futuro»
The S Seal, launched in May 2013, is a distinction that guarantees the visitor that the tourist accommodation service complies with global criteria of tourist sustainability, in the socio-cultural, environmental and economic fields.
