History
Founded by Stéphanie and Raoul Fenestraz and opened in 2005, Estancia El Colibrí was built as a luxurious recreation of the grand Argentine estates from the early 20th century. The property spans 170 hectares (420 acres) of the Córdoba sierra and includes a working organic farm, Don André, which produces much of the estancia's food. As a member of Relais & Châteaux, it preserves local rural traditions while providing high-end hospitality in a colonial-style setting.
