Alquimista Montevideo

We spent two nights in Alquimiste and we never wanted to leave! The guesthouse which is almost 100 years old is full of antique furniture, original artwork, and even has a lookout tower on the 4th floor boasting 360 views of the Carrasco neighborhood. It is a 2 minute walk from the beach and very close to some of Montevideo’s most famous restaurants. Carolina and Mark are delightful and happy to help with anything. The restaurant is lovely, and the breakfasts is a real treat. Hot croissants, freshly baked scones with marmalade and cream cheese, freshly squeezed orange juice, and beautifully plated granola we’re just some of our favorites. Staying at Alquimiste, you really feel like you are apart of something special!

We stayed in the hotel and were hugely impressed. The couple who run the hotel were charming and very helpful (they each speak perfect Spanish and English). The hotel was of a very high standard - there were lovely original features mixed with more modern touches. The food at lunch and at breakfast was delicious.

Notable la experiencia. El desayuno 10/10. Variado, bien preparado y muy sabroso. La habitación estaba ordenada y era muy agradable. Además el baño era espacioso y la dicha muy agradable. Lo único que tendría que comentar para la mejora sería entregar mas llaves de acceso para el exterior por si uno sale de noche. Y que al llegar a la pieza el primer día había un olor a humedad m, pero al ventilar un rato se fue.
