"The Montano was a very nice boutique hotel with lots of little personal touches that made our stay perfect, from the handwritten note welcoming us to the nightly glasses of wine in the”living room”. Breakfast was amazing, all of the fruits were fresh and the bread, eggs and coffee and juices were of very good quality. The location was a quick walk to the city center close to shopping and restaurants. Absolutely would stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting El Calafate. "
