“Gorgeous accommodation in beautiful vineyard”

The accommodation and the grounds are absolutely stunning, and the owners and staff are super friendly and welcoming. The beds are huge and so comfortable, and the bathroom is large and clean with a good shower. Breakfast is delivered the previous evening so it’s great to eat this outside at a time that suits! The food and juices provided were delicious. We loved every moment of our stay and definite highlights were watching the sunset from our roof terrace and the gorgeous lunch and wine tasting. Juan gave us a brief tour of the winery and the family legacy which was really great to learn about. The swimming pool is lovely and we used the bikes for a quick ride around the area. We would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful and relaxing few days.

“A lovely stay with all the comforts”

The room was very nice and comfortable. We were provided with all we needed, from the pool towels, to coffee pods. Breakfast was delivered the previous day, for our convenience, and it was abundant and very good. The bed was super comfy. We also decided to do the tour + tasting of the winery and vineyards, for an extra cost, and Federico and the staff were very nice and helpful, providing us with a vegetarian board to suit our dietary requirements.

The winery is small and cosy, the open air wine tasting - wonderful!

“We were staying on the weekend of the Lodges Vendimia celebration and the hosts very generously invited us to join in th”

Lovely location on a small vineyard with delightful welcoming staff . Great pool area to enjoy the surroundings

“Lovely place to relax, unwind and enjoy good wines!”

Lovely rooms, helpful staff and the pool surrounded by the vineyard is beautiful. Good wines and BBQ. One excellent thing to note is they will let you split the cold platter that goes with the tasting from the BBQ, so you could have the platter for that evening and the BBQ at lunchtime, for us that was certainly enough for the two meals. We walked to another close vineyard Pueblo Tannat, which is definitely worth a visit. All in all a great place to relax and enjoy their wines.

“We had a fabulous stay. A mixture of eating, drinking, walking and bird watching in peaceful surroundings.”

The rooms are lovely, clean and spacious. The pool was good but we didn’t get to use it too much because of the weather. The wine tasting and the meals were excellent. All the wines were great. The breakfast trays were plentiful and we liked having them delivered to the room. Lots of birds to see around the property.

A great and lovely place in a small vineyard

“A gem! Superb location, staff, accommodation, food and Wine!”

We loved everything! The helpful pre- check-in communication, the beautiful location, ALL of the staff from the the first welcome to the last goodbye and everything in between. What a gem. The accommodation was wonderful, we didn’t drive there but had free access to bikes for exploring the area around the vineyard, and the unique /boutique vineyard itself is beautifully maintained lovely pool and we were delighted by the sights and sounds of birds. Of course the wine was superb and the food delicious beautifully prepared and presented. We want to come back

Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff, offering quality wines and food. Rooms were beautiful and spotless clean. Generous breakfast served in the room. Its the perfect location to stay while exploring Carmelos winery circuit. We will come back in the summer to enjoy the pool area!

“Our most disappointing accommodation in Uruguay - disengaged staff and outrageously expensive”

Super comfortable bed and good size room. Lots of friendly dogs around (some owned by the family, others come in from the street). Amazing restaurant in Carmelo called Nido - sensational food, great prices and wonderful staff.

“Great accommodations and winery tour”

The room was very modern with an upscale feel. The bed was comfortable with lovely linens and the bathroom was spacious and clean with big fluffy towels. The small kitchenette area was perfect for preparing coffee or tea as well as the breakfast provided. We enjoyed the covered outdoor sitting area. When we arrived we were fortunate to meet the entire family, Mom and her 3 sons. All were very welcoming and kind. It was Juan, the youngest who could speak English so he was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed learning the history and legacy of this family bodega. We had the tour, tasting with charcuterie, and the lunch. It was all very good but too much food. We suggest having one or the other.

“Owner takes unauthorized more money from your creditcard without invoice or consultation.”

Be careful when booking with this accommodation. The owner invited us to a party at the accommodation. There was no discussion about the costs in advance. Later I saw on my credit card bill that the owner had charged $190 to our credit card for this party. This was never discussed and we never saw a bill. So the owner of the accommodation made unauthorized use of our credit card that we had given as collateral for this booking via booking.com. We thought he invited us because of the noise pollution that this party caused. Other guests we contacted did not see a bill for this because they had booked through a travel agency. And therefore did not pay anything. We spoke to these guests via WhatsApp. After a lot of WhatsApp traffic with the accommodation and repeated requests for a bill or telephone consultation, I have not received anything to date.

“Wonderful peaceful setting in rural Carmelo.”

Lovely lodge in rural farm setting. Peaceful with lots of birds chirping about. Room was lovely and spacious. Breakfast was continental style brought to our room in the evening, which allowed us the comfort of eating in our own room on our own schedule.Plenty of food. Very friendly staff.

“Great winery to visit”

Room all very modern with everything required. Staff very helpful. Their wine was very good and the food plentiful.

“Exceeded expectations! Will visit again!”

Absolutely amazing experience! The room was tastefully designed, spacious, and well equipped. The setting was serene and relaxing. We loved being located on the vineyard and able to walk the grounds. The provided bicycles were great so we could explore Carmelo a little more. All the staff and El Legado family members we super warm, friendly, and kind. We would make another trip to Uruguay just to visit El Legado! We had such an amazing time. Thank you!!

“We will never forget this stay. It is worth taking a little time here and slowing down a bit!”

We spent three wonderful days in the El Legado wine lodge. The bodega rightly calls itself a boutique wine lodge. Only 14,000 bottles are produced per hectare each year, of the Tannat, Syrah and a blend of the first two varieties. The guest house has four very spacious and modern rooms, with seating on both sides. The newly built swimming pool with comfortable loungers around the pool in the middle of the vines deserves special mention. The staff also deserves special mention, who are always friendly and helpful. Federico, the manager of the complex, looked after us with humor and a lot of knowledge. He showed us around the wine cellar and the rest of the complex. The highlight of the stay was the wine tasting with a wonderful platter of delicacies. The whole thing was only surpassed by the asado. A selection of meat that is second to none was served to us right by the fireplace.

“Relaxing and peaceful stay”

Beautiful grounds, tranquil location, nice host, good wine, great room

“The stay was perfect, we really enjoyed the Lodge and the environment. Totally recommend.”

The location is perfect if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. Me and my mom really enjoyed biking around with the bikes provided by the hotel. The rooms are big and have a good structure. The breakfast is brought to the room the day before, and it was really good.

“I would highly recommend it”

This is an excellent base from which to explore the area. We didn’t make much use of the properties catering/winetasting. But this was because we enjoyed our time exploring the local area.

“We felt comfortable and relaxed , beautiful area to explore.”

Beautiful place , quite ,relaxing, bikes available to explore the area. If you want to sit , listen to birds , taste delicious wine you will be happy here.
