Amazing view. You must stay for the sunset poetry. You will enjoy the view from the balcony. Ask for the champagne toast...

Enjoyed touring around the house, the art is amazing and the video provides insight into the artist's life and times. The view from the house is beautiful any time.

This is a must go! You're gonna watch a incredible sunset in a creative construction of this artist. The ticket it's very cheap, have a restaurant inside, incredible views. If you want your ticket serves for others days as well.

The entry free for Casapueblo is $7.50. For this, you get to see: a video of the artist Carlos Paez Vilaro talking about his life and career (quite interesting but something you could see anywhere; a (very small) selection of his art; and a (very extensive) array of all the things he has for sale - books, magnets, t-shirts, posters...

This was recommended by a friend of a friend so we stopped on our way from Montevideo to Punta del Este. What a wonderful gem! The art was interesting as was the history of the colony and the architecture of the building. The views were amazing.

Not a bad place to visit on a nice bike ride from town as it is on a scenic peninsula. The architecture is interesting. All of the art is by the one artist which is good if you like his stuff.

Now a museum and hotel operate there, on the western side of Punta Ballena, with breathtaking views over Solanas beach and arguably the most amazing sunsets. A lovely and romantic environment,...
