Finca Piedra

Uruguay

In Depth

Over the “Mahoma” mountain range in the province of San Jose, Finca Piedra is located near the sleepy railway town of Mal Abrigo. Run by a young French and South African couple ( fluent English, Spanish, French, Dutch) this wonderful Estancia has stone grounds, smooth winds, glades and streams. This is an ideal place that combines rest, excellent gastronomy, horse –rides through the mountain ranges and exclusive French wine stock from their own vineyard.

Comfortable rooms with sommier beds and a view of the countryside and the vineyards, equipped with heaters and under floor heating.

This Estancia has all the accessories needed for horse rides, a huge “Rodeo” for a beginner to learn the South American way or for a audience to watch an organized “Rodeo show” (seasonal) from a box seat or alongside the arena.

It also has native gastronomy, prepared by recognized chefs, where you will be able to taste organic foods directly from the estancia. Parillas or indoor barbeques are a favourite among guests with fresh Uruguayan meats and flavors! All accompanied by the most exquisite wines. During tea-time you will be able to taste the typical “pastelitos hojaldrados¨stuffed with quince jam, dish that delight adults and children.

In this establishment, you will find conference facilities with necessary technology and surrounded by the countryside, far away from the city. So you can combine work with rest!
