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!

So good, perfect.

The stuff and the reception.

The first hour and a half or so after we arrived, the lawns immediately adjacent to the building were being mowed and trimmed. It was very noisy. We got away from the noise by going for a swim but found the pool had a lot of floating grass in it. The only negative but it did seem that doing the lawns at check-in time on a Friday was avoidable.

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.

In reality to much bbq food. Less but better perhaps

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

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 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.

Wonderfully spacious and private rooms overlooking vineyards and fields. The winery is beautiful and the wines and food excellent. We had a lovely breakfast delivered to our room to enjoy at our leisure, we borrowed bikes and cycled to local bodegas and returned for an amazing wine tasting and late lunch at El Legado. Fabulous experience!

The place was amazing, so beautiful and peaceful. A great place to get away and relax, enjoy some wine and delicious goodies they bring for breakfast. Everyone was so kind and their wine was very delicious!

Only that I had to leave :)

Gorgeous grounds, wine lodge, and rooms! Absolutely wonderful. Pictures on Booking.com don't do it justice. Our room was spectacular with everything we needed. Hosts were very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

As the breakfast is brought to the room, there could be a table with chairs that are more comfortable eating in. My father has some limitations and for him was complicated eating in the low chair and table.

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.

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.

The location of El Legado Wine Lodge is perfect! The people managing the lodge are so very friendly. The room is beautiful, and the reception area is a nice place to hang out.

No service available between 7 pm and 11 am and one of the table lamps had a spider web on it.

Kind staff, big room and great wine tasting experience.

Nothing comes to mind to improve in our experience here.

From the very moment we arrived, we were treated like family. The rooms were modern, and incredibly well equipped, and breakfast was exceptional, delivered the night before. Rooms had excellent showers, fully equipped with a fridge and all the basics. The wine tasting was outstanding and we could tell this family owned bodega is loved as much by the owner Maria as us guests.

This was a special birthday treat, but even so, the price was much higher than anywhere else we stayed in three countries in South America. We had wine in our room but no pricelist, 2 bottles were 52$ US

Stunning location , beautiful rooms. We also booked a wine tour and parilla and enjoyed the food and wine. Very peaceful.

Friendly, informative staff. Very comfortable accommodation. Delicious Tannat drawn from the cask. Immaculate grounds. Real sense of family pride in this gem of a winery.

Stayed in February 2023

Didnt like we only had time to stay 2 nights.

A perfect location. Vineyard, long very long tasting and BBQ lunch were excellent. Accommdation just as described, boxed breakfast delicious. Perfect for a romantic getaway. We stayed over Xmas and enjoyed the peace and amazing sunsets. It is a small boutique vineyard with only 3 wines but well worth the tasting. If youre reading this, dont hesitate book immediately.

Not a big thing, as the overall experience is wonderful. But just note that the breakfast is pre-prepared and delivered the night before, as the winery doesn't open until 11am. For the price, it might have included a few more fresh items (rather than standard store bread, for example).

This was a beautiful, comfortable, and above all tranquil place to spend a couple nights while exploring the lovely area around Carmelo. I especially enjoyed being able to have a place to crash after enjoying a long, leisurely wine tasting and lunch at the winery itself. (Do treat yourself to this experience, if you stay!)

Fantastic location, excellent wines, excellent food and attention of the staff. Very enjoyable.

Stayed in September 2022

Outrageously expensive (and more than twice the price our nights in Punta del Este, Montevideo and Buenos Aires) - very poor value for money. Breakfast was basic with supermarket bread (delivered to your room at 5pm the night before). Staff were extremely disengaged. We asked what restaurants were open and they said they would bring a list to our room - this didn’t happen. We asked for toilet paper as it wasn’t replenished and it didn’t come (so my husband had to go and ask again). And both male and female staff walk past your windows and peer into the glass windows (from less than a metre away) - like a peeping Tom -not private or respectful. Construction is on the site (diggers) and starts at 8am and goes all day (together with the mowing).

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.
