El Colibri; The Farmland Ranch Surpassing Class

As the sunlight gleams to hit the magnificently white building and pink-tiled roof of El Colibri, you walk upon flat stepping stones to the main entrance with a stable-like wooden door, getting a strong waft of scent from an island of flowers surrounding the resort. And mind you, it escalates your spirits to a whole new dimension, making you forget the stress and exasperation you experienced on your long cheap flight to Cordoba. The entrance hall is an open courtyard with a small fountain sprouting in the centre. The suites along the ranch are a piece of art themselves, patterns imprinted across walls along with wooden floorboards and a fireplace to warm each suite in the winter.

Dining is made executive at the Colibri, where designated dining halls consisting of Victorian tables and wooden glass cabinets expand along the walls. Chandeliers overhead the entire rooms combined with light from the candles at the centre of the room emit an ambience quite distinct of belonging to the colonial British Empire era. Even the color combinations are kept to change from hall to hall while maintaining the same theme, open windows to let in the sunlight under high roofs with fully carpeted floors adorning artistic patterns.

As for the food itself, you would be intrigued to find it out every effort has been made to include all raw material ingredients are produced within the resort’s area right to the last grain, thus assuring you the purity of organic food within the cuisine. Daily chef specials are a routine to be preferred on the table, with dishes rotating so as to settle in the taste buds of foreign guests on the same specialties.

This will indeed be an opportunity for you to experiment with Argentine’s local cuisine while hinting a dash of your influence of preference to the chefs. A unique feature is the option for seating at one small table in the cellar, thus allowing you to choose from a winery collection hailing from the major regions home to Argentina; Patagonia, Mendoza and Salta.

The El Colibri stands out from all other hotel options as it is being run by a talented French family foreign to these lands and thus passionate to establish a safe haven which would set in with the subtle nature of Cordoba. With the prime owner being a prolific polo player, an entire polo club has been established under a dedicated team of professionals to allow visitors and tourists on the facility learn this pristine sport. However, it is generally found that the greater numbers of potential learners are found riding horses over the stretch of supple, well-trimmed grass across the plains around the ranch. It’s no surprise either, as the feeling of the wind whistling past the mane of Argentina’s finest stallions while you grip the reins makes you instinctively pat your horse in encouragement, riding on and on till sunset.

You’re missing from visiting your old farm out in the countryside, eh? Well, Colibri takes a step ahead than expectations of bringing along your old memories by allowing its visitors do chores privileged to be done by conventional farming families, such as milking cows, tending and shearing sheep, or just picking up a fresh produce of vegetables from the facility’s own botanical gardens.

Getting involved in it all would make you vie for more. Additional activities specifically enlightening children to become elemental childhood memories in their lives include cooking classes under the professional chefs, as well as enjoying while setting off with the entire family on trekking and mountain biking trails in the local vicinity of Colibri. Other than that, with the dove hunting season going the year round in Cordoba, you’ll always have the option to tag along or man a gun with the hunting party of Colibri. There are three officially recognized golf courses near the resort; Ascochinga, La Cumbre and Cordoba featuring 18 holes with picturesque landscapes involving mountains, lakes and valleys which are all prominent in a bird eye view from a flight to Cordoba.

Scented, moisturizing oils and bathing gels accompany you will you immerse in a subconscious-evoking spa, openly facing the lush grounds while you lay back, doused in relaxation, to gaze over galloping horses and flocks of doves. The swimming pool is made the main highlight in the evening, with temperature-controlled waters and fluorescent lights submerged at the pool floor to emit a wonderful aura of simmering lights.

Other amenities include an entire solarium and a gym with aerobics and muscle-relaxing exercises to be conducted under trained physicians committed to personalized focus for each guest.
