Posada La Juanita

Colonia del Sacramento


Boasting a relatively low price for its location, this guesthouse is primarily worth considering for its upstairs room (No 6) with a view towards the river. Avoid the four downstairs units, which are either claustrophobically small or prone to noise from the street out front.
