Rating for Hotel first then Wine Garden later

For first time visitor it is very confusing and spread out. The management does not want to put a lot of signs but they are way short at this point. Maybe send a pdf map when you reserve a room.

Staff is very nice and helpful but of course outside of the lobby many are very limited in English. Be prepared and considerate.

Once you learn your way around after half a day it is OK and you understand the layout. If you are are in Casa Montana, expect to walk a bit. To the lobby it is about .3 miles. To the wine garden it is .6 miles. Mostly flat but a good sun hat is important and it is all rough dirt roads or paths.

Trip to a nearby restaurant cost us $120 US cash round trip by a car service arranged by the hotel. If you contact one in Ensenada yourself you can save 25% or so. They will come from there to here and wait while you taste or eat. Note I said cash is needed. USD are ok.

Only one local restaurant is in walking distance (1.1 mile). We did not have a car. I would suggest to get a driver to get you to Ensenada, then rent a car for the local area as an option. However note most roads except the main highway are not paved and slow driving. Make sure your GPS knows where you need to go before you leave. That is have someone local or the hotel review your route. Many restaurants are miles off main road and not easy to find.

Architecture works to fit into the natural grounds, very nicely done in a rustic theme.

Casa Montana review

Very nice buildings with common room staffed into the night. They make breakfast and snacks. Honor bar is well stocked.

Shower and bathroom is nice but the hot water takes a few minutes to arrive and the shower drain is not well vented , so you hear loud gurgles sometimes from the drain. No smell but noises.

Hot tub is in the shared area and next to a soaking pool. Hot tub is good temperature not too hot so you can soak. The pool is maybe 10 feet long with a nice seating setup. No swimming due to small size.

The walkways are dirt and it is raked everyday so they look nice.

Staff is very nice

Wine Garden review.

Good food at US prices.

We ate here 3 times. We were told the same master chef as Fauna.

Do try the octopus and shrimp pizza. Very good. Pita sourdough like crust and great flavor. Maybe 10 to 12 inch size.
Other pizza good as well
Guacamole plate is great. Every thing we had was great.
Good service as well.

Hevaclio was a wonderful host and very descriptive of the wines and the Brumas history. 100% recommendation to come back again and experience vinícola Bruma. Hevaclio did an amazing job in making us feel welcome and very appreciative of his support and descriptions of the fine wines. We can’t wait to come back and bring some friends.

I don’t even want to tell you how lovely Bruma is but everyone has been so kind that we must share our exquisite experience. It’s a little confusing figuring out how to check in, (follow the signs to Casa 8 where Susan and Pierre will give you a tour and guide you to your room or suite. Casa Montaña offers magnificent views of the valley below and its eco-rustic lodging is FABULOUS! Four rooms share a great room with kitchen, living room, and lovely deck with sun loungers and a warm disappearing edge pool and spa. The always-pleasant ladies here are happy to serve and prepare delicious breakfasts from yogurt and fresh fruit to chilaquiles, omelets, your preferred egg preparation, bacon, muffins, etc… and if you’re hungry at any other time of day they will put together yum burritos, quesadillas, guacamole, et al. I wanted to take them home! (the ladies not the food.) Fauna, one of Valle’s finest restaurants is just a walkway from your room. This place is just a pure pleasure splurge.
