Experience a new world of quality, style & good value in an unspoilt & classy family friendly resort. Punta del Este in Uruguay has been a popular holiday destination with Argentinians and Brazilians for years. In the last few years, Americans, Canadians and, most recently, Europeans have begun to discover the delights of this unique resort. Unspoilt beaches that stretch for miles, beautiful lakes and countryside, classy restaurants, bars and people. A world away from over developed Mediterranean resorts. Our house, La Bacana is a large open-plan wooden built house in an area of Punta del Este called Rincon del Indio. It is on a quiet and very safe residential street in an area of equally stunning and individual properties, yet only 4 minutes walk to Brava beach on the Atlantic coastline. Ideally located between Punta del Este peninsula and La Barra, it is the perfect rental property for couples, groups and families alike, with everything you need within a short walk or drive.
