If you want to hang out in the countryside for a while with no distractions and nothing to bother you, this place is perfect. Monica and Miguel strike the perfect balance between being very friendly and giving guests their privacy. The food was delicious. The rooms are clean and pleasant. The countryside is filled with colorful birds. I went on... More

In case you like horses, El Galope is the place to visit and stay! And even if you don't like them, but are interested in perhaps trying them out (like me), it is yet again the right place for you. We were visiting Uruguay for few days and spent one night in El Galope, arriving early in the day from... More

We stayed for 2 nights in a 2 bed dorm in April. Monica and Miguel made us feel really at home and were really helpful with tips for ongoing travel. We went horseriding and the countryside is really spectacular. El Galope has a lovely homely feel, with cats and dogs running around freely! You should definitely sample their locally sourced...

We had a great one night stay at El Galope on a trip over from BA. The setting of the farm is lovely, right in the middle of the Countryside. It was an easy trip from BA on the ferry and then a 45 bus journey. We had a double room en-suite which was very comfortable. We hired the bikes... More

El Galope is really a beautiful place to relax. We stayed for two nights in such a nice double room and loved the peace and atmosphere around us as well as in the lovely decorated common room. The horse ride lesson for beginners was amazing and Miguel was a great and also patient teacher. We felt comfortable and we would... More

I really loved the quiet, peacefulness of this place but be warned there is very little to do. The house and surrounding are absolutely beautiful and the hosts are very very pleasant and private at the same time. There are 3 dogs and two are rather friendly!! We went on a bike ride and to be honest, I am pretty... More

El Galope is a nice quiet, relaxing and safe place, where you can find a nice break from busy Bueno Aires. :) I enjoyed my stay there a lot. Monica and Miguel were outstanding hosts. The guest house is very homey and I felt very welcome. The 2-bed dorm is clean, as well the bathroom. Monica knows very well cooking... More

We enjoyed our 2 nights at El Galope. Miguel and Monica were great hosts and our fellow guests were very interesting. It was a welcome change of pace from Buenos Aires. The night sky was incredible, with more stars visible than we can remember ever seeing.

Loved this place. Stayed 2 nights, just enough time to relax and unwind after some frenetic travelling. The owners are really nice and friendly. The rooms are sparkling clean and comfortable. The kitchen/lounge is great to relax in, as are the hammocks dotted around the grounds. Horse riding lessons are available every day and you can take a walk to... More

Stayed here my first 3 nights in Uruguay. Beautiful place..perfect if, like me, you are needing to escape BA. Getting there from Colonia del Sacramento is easy and Monica and Miguel make you feel at home straight away.Try the home cooking and local wine!
