What A Beautiful Property
We had high expectations based on the previous reviews of this property but we were blown away with this perfect house. It is huge and very well appointed. Carmen the housekeeper was delightful and the host/owner answered every question quickly. He even steered us to an amazing day trip guide via someone he knows who guides in Quito. Ivan Lopez ( edivanly@hotmail.com) organized three day long excursions for us to Otavalo, Mindo Cloud Forest, and Quilotoa Lake, and we fell in love with his knowledge and enthusiasm for Ecuador. This is an exquisite property.

Mind Blowing
This place is like magic. The home is astonishing, location is perfect. The housekeepers are so generous and lovely. They had breakfast for us every day, got groceries, handled transportation, cooked for us and for our friends who weren’t even staying there. They were so nice. The communication with the manager leading up to the trip was great. Our trip to Quito was a thousand times better because we stayed here.

Outstanding home, location and staff
We travelled as a multigenerational family of 10 and this property exceeded our expectations in every way. Andres was super helpful in making reservations, giving advice on sightseeing, and arranging for 3 airport pickups at various, inconvenient times. The house was perfect for our large group, and we enjoyed the large outdoor gathering area. The architecture, art and artifacts deserve their own guide book. The location in Old Town worked well for our different groups exploring at different times. Most remarkable was the staff. Delicious meals, snacks when we needed them, a surprise birthday celebration, and patience and kindness toward our 4 young kids. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to Ecuador!

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

Host profile image
We are a family of 5. Have three young children who love this house. Our holidays here are always memorable. Full of historic walks, hikes in the countryside, tourism, games, history, love, and fun. Enjoy our home. Quito is a magnificent city. Spend some days discovering it.

Why they chose this property

We are in love with Ecuador. It is a unique country with diverse languages and cultures. There are so many things to do that its a perfect destination for tourism. We love this house, its location, its feel, its people, everything about it. When we started restoring the house we had no idea how long and difficult it would be. The house used to belong to an Ecuadorian poet, you can find some of his poetry books around the libraries of the house. It has that, a sense of magic realism.

What makes this property unique

You won't find a similar property in the country. We wanted something that would give us the ability to live the centre of Quito and immerse in the culture of Ecuador. The restoration project took many years, and we feel proud to have done it. Many architects and designers were involved and it showcases the best of Ecuador's art and design (everything you see was done in the country). The house sits in the colonial center but avoids the very heavy traffic that is associated with it.

The colonial center of Quito is unique. It is the largest one in latin america and its churches, museums, streets, cafes, people are worth discovering. If you come to Ecuador, do spend a few days in Quito. You won't be disappointed by it.
