Before the turn of the last century La Oriental was born a grand breeding farm for racehorses and has all the stately tradition one would expect to impress thoroughbred buyers from around the globe.

Rafael Torello’s family bought the estancia in 1914 and now he and his wife Estella run the stately 2500 acres, raising cattle and crops in an environmentally friendly way. Estella has lovingly restored the original guesthouse room by room with her exquisite design that lends a fresh air to the original antique furniture and accutrements of the past, many of which were brought in from Europe.
