We were looking forward to staying there from the pictures on the website. It really was nothing like that! There was no swimming - except in a mosquito infested, algae covered water tank- pumped river water. No horse riding, despite the advertisement, as they did not have insurance. It was dusty and hot and no grass -lots of bugs and... More

This is the home where Norma was born. Full of lovely antiques and tresures. Pretty far from Valdes Peninsula but the paleontological museum is outstanding. Memorable hike up 30,000 years in Geoparque Bryn Gwyn. Had the worst meal of the trip at El Viejo Molino in Trelew. More

We spent two nights in the Welch community of Trelew at the charming Casona del Río, an old Welch-style home that is now a bed-and-breakfast. We had two of the best dinners of our one month trip in Argentina at the Casona del Río. During and after dinner, we chatted (mostly in Spanish) for hours with the friendly family and... More

We stayed for one night in this B&B. The hosts are very nice people. The room we got was the worst we encountered during our trip through argentina: though it was big and had some " antique" furniture, it was very basic, the bed was very small and not comfortable at all, let alone the cushions. The bathroom was less... More

We stayed in Trelew because we had an early morning flight to Argentina following a 4 day stay on Peninsula Valdes. This b&b turned out to be one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to Argentina. The b&b is located just on the river at the edge of Trelew. The grounds are beautiful with willow trees and flowers... More

My adult daughter and I stayed at La Casona del Rio for three days in January 2010, and it was simply wonderful. In fact I can’t say enough about it. If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax in the most tranquil, beautiful surroundings you can imagine away from the noise and activity of the city this is the... More

The Webb site for La Casona del Rio is beautiful and awsome. Unfortunately, it is misleading. The home is small; with the parents living across the hall. The bedroom did not have the spacious, sunny, airy, inviting feeling as in the webb photos. The tennis court is questionable. The location is several miles from town and down a gravel road... More

We had delicious food - cooked by Norma, grilled meat by Carlitos, wine and Tango music - we spend the best Christmas day ever! Now beeing back from Argentina after 2 month travelling... More

Sometimes the people you meet is what makes the trip a real experience and that is exactly what this place did for me. Had the opportunity to meet Yanina and her family, sit around drink some mate and learn about the culture, history and area. Slept like a baby, the food is better than any restaurant I've eaten at so... More
