Knowing the history of Estancia Don Silvano:

At the beginning of the 20th century, Silvano, an Italian immigrant boy, arrived in Argentina at the hands of his parents, and they settled in these lands where the gaucho worked day and night at his jobs. Silvano fell in love with the place. When he was young, he began to work in a general store, a kind of establishment that was very common at the time, in rural areas, where everything was sold, from food for people or fodder for animals, to fabrics and tillage tools.

Putting a lot of effort and dedication and saving as much as possible what was produced with his work, he made money that he kept carefully. Years later, he found out that the house of a family named Lennon, Irish, who had decided to move to the city, had been put up for sale.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Silvano bought the house with a plot of approximately 380 hectares and baptized it with his name.

The beautiful Victorian-style building, built in the 1930s, had him enchanted. Shortly after, two friends came to visit him and Silvano enabled them to spend the night in two of the rooms of the house. A few weeks later, the friends returned with another partner, Silvano decided to accommodate his own bedroom to accommodate him. And there came the idea at the insistence of his friends, to prepare the house to offer as accommodation.

At first, he conditioned the rooms that the house already had, but as the number of visitors it housed increased, he had to expand the comforts it offered, but he was already nearing the end of his life, that's when Don Silvano transferred the property to his son-in-law Santiago who decided to transform the stable into a dining room where up to 120 people could be accommodated for events such as weddings or birthdays, an activity that was greatly used by the inhabitants of Capilla del Señor and its surroundings to this day.

The activity of Estancia Don Silvano grows:

But the lodging activity really takes off when Santiago's son and Don Silvano's grandson, named Carlos, take over, who was already helping him with the management of the Estancia and convinced his father to transform the Ballroom, which was originally the stable, in a small hotel with 16 rooms, which extended the capacity of the Estancia Don Silvano to have 23 rooms, but they also continued to offer to celebrate events in the Estancia or in the open air just as its owner did from the beginning. beginning. As all the available space of the Estancia Don Silvano was destined for accommodation, Carlos thought of building a special place. Up to now, four generations have worked at Estancia Don Silvano to give it the comforts and splendor it has today.

For the events in the covered area, Carlos decided to prepare a shed that was provided with a large barbecue and that was decorated in a rustic style to offer a cozy place for an informal meeting between friends and to spend a pleasant moment in the middle of the grove surrounding the Estancia.

But the magnificent park, exquisitely maintained, welcoming and beautiful, offers multiple possibilities to take advantage of that green area that is very popular for outdoor events, such as birthdays and weddings. The Estancia has a space specially conditioned for parking that can accommodate 120 vehicles.
