Beautiful Artistry, Beautiful Landscapes, Beautiful Architecture!
Not only is this book graced by informative text, but it is simply a treasure to gaze at for hours. A gorgeous collection of photographs taken on "estancias" across Argentina's many regions, from its near tropical north, through its flatlands so reminiscent of the American Midwest, to the rugged south with its Alpine highlands.

OUTSTANDING !!
The book is impeccably designed and lavishly illustrated and allow us to wander into a part of the Argentine private world closed off to all but the most adventurous. Tomas de Elia great photographs capture not only the european architecture of the Argentine houses and gardens but also the romantic atmosphere of the pampas.

Glorious photographs
The pictures are of outside & inside views including landscapes & gardens. I found this Rizzoli hard bound book a delight to read and look through. I never knew anything about Argentina before I bought this book. About 22 properties photographed. Text is clear, specific and inviting. Also have FAZENDAS - THE GREAT HOUSES & PLANTATIONS OF BRAZIL which is just as good. If you are a visual person and see a 1,000 things in a photograph, this book is for you. Certainly made me realise that not the great buildings are in Europe or USA.
