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.

Los Chicos de la ruta 12
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.. ❤️

Clima da Provence no Uruguay
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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Romain and Olivier

Host profile image
We are Hugues, Olivier and Romain, three brothers, all natives of France. We have been vacationing in Montebello ever since our parents built the house over 25 years ago to welcome their growing family, increasingly dispersed all over the world. Since then, Montebello has been the center of our family reunions and also a wonderful cultural enrichment into our lives. Today, we share our times between our respective residences in Europe (Hugues lives in Paris, Olivier in London and Romain in Venice) and we continue to live the tradition of our family reunions in Montebello with all of our children.

Why they chose this property

Montebello was passed down to us when our parents passed away. Through the years and many memories, Montebello has become for us and for our children our family home in Uruguay. Away from the busy world in a secluded nature heaven, we yearn to return to its peace and beauty. Montebello has also open our French family to the richness of the latin american cultures of Uruguay and Argentina. We have come to love Uruguay, from its beautiful open lands to its well kept secret splendid beaches, to its well educated, warm and hospitable people. Some of our best family friends are Uruguayan. We also enjoy its safe towns and cities, its legendary BBQ meats ('assados'), and its beautifully crafted leathers and wools. Today, Montebello and Uruguay are part of our family culture and we hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Montebello is a very special place. Its location was handpicked for its unique position on the shores of the Laguna del Sauce, one of the most beautiful and exclusive area around Punta del Este. Its 12 acres gorgeously landscaped park ensures you will have the space and privacy you need to enjoy this special time with family and friends. Its unique style combines French provencal architecture with Uruguayan traditional touches such as its outdoor parilla area under the Pergola. Water is front and center at Montebello, between the swimming pool, the laguna with overwater deck and the nearby splendid white sand Solanas beach. Montebello will reopen your eyes on the marvels of nature, from the beautifully landscaped park, to the exotic birds and sounds all over the park to the legendary Puesta del Sol (sunset) over the Pan de Azucar (local mountain in sight of the house) and the Laguna del Sauce. The park and pool night illuminations ensure that you can continue to enjoy Montebello indoor and outdoor pleasures well past sunset.
