       Several open living areas provide plenty of room to lounge in comfort when you’re not in the field, or for non-hunting companions to relax. For those who prefer the outdoors, you’ll find shaded galleries surrounding the lodge, and a couple of acres worth of manicured gardens to roam.

   I’ve been to so many fine destinations in this part of the world that I’m not easy to impress; but the personal service and meals at El Monte were deserving of attention. A few of my favorite dinners consisted of marinated Dove Bruchettes, lightly breaded Pigeon Milanesa, and handmade Sorentino pastas stuffed with salmon and ladled with cream sauce. And during full day hunts afield, the head chef follows along with a fully equipped kitchen on wheels, and sets up nearby in a shady spot to prepare the same quality fare as you might have in the lodge.
