Carmen and Javier, our housekeepers, live in the house and will help with anything you may need. They sleep at a separate area. We ask guests to respect their privacy.
Maria is our in-house chef. She is a wonderful cook and you can ask her, once you arrive, if she can help with groceries and cooking (this is not included in the nightly charge).

A little known fact.... Gonzalo Escudero, one of Ecuador's most famous poets, grew up in this house. His poetry is beautiful, you can find some of his work in the bookshelves in the main sitting room.

Quintessential Quito Villa
The purpose of our Quito/Galapagos getaway was to gather 16 of our multigenerational family to enjoy Quito for a few days before all of us headed on to the Galapagos. From start to finish our experience at the Villa was sensational. Andres, the owner, was responsive, accommodating and creative. Not only did he make an exception to allow 16 guests by delivering two additional beds but also: - made arrangements to have all of us picked up at the Quito airport involving two separate flights 8 hours apart - made arrangements for two private dinners for 16 at the Villa featuring gourmet Ecuadorian food and beverages - made arrangements for three breakfasts including getaway day leaving at 4AM - connected us with a professional guide of Colonial Quito which happened to coincide with festive Palm Sunday celebrations - made arrangements for transportation for all 16 of us from the Villa to the Quito airport on getaway day Fernando, our transportation captain, Maria, our house manager and chef along with Carmen were hard working, cheerful and attentive. Andres had done an incredible job restoring this classic Villa with attention to high end detail that did not go unnoticed. The Villa is expansive and where all family members had space to either engage or find solitude. I infrequently write reviews, however, our stay was so exceptional that I wanted to share our experience. Cheers. - Michael

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.

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.
