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. More

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. More

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. More

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. More

Uruguayan painter and sculptor Carlos Páez Vilaró, a white Uruguayan from an aristocratic background and with a black Afro heart, made this house as part of his life's work. 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,...

Casa del Pueblo is one of the top destinations in Punta del Este. Not only is it a beautiful building / scupture, which looks like it was transported from Greece, but it is also the home / workshop of artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. Páez´s work is very Picasso-esque (he even met Picasso and viewed him as a mentor) with sharp... More
