Perfect setting for a large family vacation
Outstanding property in a magical location. We have only great things to say about our time at Montebello. Romain (property owner) and the Caseros are attentive, caring, and responsive. They all went the extra mile to mate our stay smooth and enjoyable without ever disrupting our privacy. Top notch.

Wonderful place for a family reunion. The house is spacious. The kitchen is large and made for great group cooking sessions. The dock provided great fun for the kids and adults to explore and to fish. The pool was an added benefit for the lazy days. The pergola- parilla area was a true Uruguayan experience. Lots of options for children to be outdoors with the trampoline, the tree house and swings. The big added benefit was the sense of security around the property. Truly felt like your own private park. Overall a great experience in a rustic place. Magda and Alejandro were wonderful and welcoming.. ❤️

A great experience!
My family and friends spent 6 lovely days in Montebello. We had a wonderful time enjoying every part of it. The property is unique, perfect for large groups with a well-equiped and comfortable villa. The massive yard with many outdoor activities is a great attraction for kids. The pool’s deck lake view is breathtaking. The caseros, Magdalena and Alejandro, were friendly and very helpful. We are looking forward to spending some more relaxing time at this paradise.

Un sueño!
La casa es un sueño en todo sentido. Es una casa con alma, vivida y disfrutada, uno se siente privilegiado de poder quedarse en ella. Los espacios son amplios y cómodos y la vista a la laguna del sauce es espectacular. Romain nos tuvo mucha paciencia en la previa ya que no confirmamos por problemas logísticos hasta dos días antes y los caseros Alejandro y Magdalena fueron muy amables ya que fuimos en pleno invierno y nos prepararon la casa con estufa y abrigo de cama para 16 personas estuvieran calentaras. Gracias de parte de toda la familia.

Gorgeous house, property, and view
We had a large group of friends down over the New Years at Montebello and couldn't have been happier. Romain was a delight to work with over email and the help on property was attentive and always available to help, with anything from getting more firewood, to doing grocery runs. The property is beautifully located on the lake and has a massive yard, great for volleyball, badminton, football, and a great infinity pool that overlooks the lake. The home is perfect for entertaining large groups (massive outdoor parilla - bbq and dining table) and families and I would recommend it to anyone going down. The only point is that you must have your transportation figured out beforehand either with a private driver or rental car as it is not quite on a major route. Overall, I look forward to having the opportunity of returning to Montebello in the future!

Casa agradável, espaço exterior maravilhoso com vista para o lago. Alejandro e Madalena foram anfitriões muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Impecável. Somente necessita de mais banheiros pois existe 3 suites com banheiros, os demais tem que compartilhar.
