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.

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!

An absolutely outstanding property with exceptional staff. Maria and Carmen were delightful and made us feel like royalty. Five stars does not do this property justice. It belongs in a superior category. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to stay here and to have met Andres.

Incredible place in historic Quito
The listing simply does not do this property justice. First the house : Our family stayed here for one week and we enjoyed every minute of this magical house. We travel a lot and have been fortunate to stay in some very unique houses and villas — this was over the top unique and cultured. The house was beautifully renovated but the owners managed to preserve the culture. It was outfitted with amazing furniture and linens; it had famous original art works, a writers tower, a wine cellar, an outdoor courtyard, a yoga room, and so much space! The views of the city were amazing too! The service: From the local host we received a warm welcome and even a history lesson about the house and some of Ecuador’s story. She introduced us to Carmen (the caretaker) and showed us all around. The host even sat and played board games with the kids! Every morning Carmen would make a delicious breakfast and set a beautiful table. She made mid-day mint tea and nighttime tea. The house was spotless (even though our three kids were running around). The location: at first we hesitated on staying in old Quito, but I am so glad we decided to. This house is walkable to museums, churches, plazas, shopping, dining, craft fairs and parks! So much to do in the area! If you have the opportunity to stay here — do it!! Don’t hesitate!

Awesome, Relaxing, Luxurious, Everything and then some!!!!!!
Our family of 10 decided to go back to our native land. We ranged in ages from 30 to 85. There was not one person that was not awed by the luxuty and comfort of the accomodations. The breakfasts were delicious (fresh juices, cheese, eggs, fresh bread, COFFEE, or cafe con leche. ) You name it you could have it. Just let her know the day before. It is in the best part of town to see the real Quito. Plenty of museums, presidential palace, and markets within walking distance. The accomodations and the service was next to none we have ever experienced. We have a lot of relatives in Quito and all were impressed and were going to recommend to anyone they knew would be coming in for vacation. I would come and stay here anytime I come back in a heartbeat. Thank you, we felt like royalty the whole time.

Remarkable residence in a great location.
We stayed at the Colonial House in Quito a few weeks ago and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was super helpful (spoke both English and Spanish) and was ready to assist us, whether it was driving some where, doing laundry or making a meal, but they were completely out of the way when not needed. Their quarters were in a separate section of the House and it seemed as though they were not there. The house itself was very large and built around a central courtyard that made us feel like we were in our own Hotel. There is a lovely fountain, seating and landscape in the courtyard that takes you away from the home's location, which is a few blocks from the bustle of the Historic center of old Quito. We were able to easily walk to all the Old Town historic spots, which was a big plus. The house is wonderfully furnished with an eclectic mix of modern pieces and beautiful antiques and art work. Quite simply, it was a great find for us, and we didn't want to leave!

amazing in EVERY way!
we just spent 3 nights in this most beautiful home that you should not hesitate to rent if you come to quito. as an earlier review stated the picture do not tell the story. In short the entire downstairs is one large room after another where every room leads into a beautiful courtyard. Upstairs you will find an incredible master, 2 more completely independant living areas...2 more bedrooms that share a full bath and lastly a lounge with an amazing view of quito. If this was not enough fernando and maria, the caretakers were more than icing on the cake...they cooked us 3 meals, did laundry and even voluntarily went to the pharmacy when they saw i was under the weather. really??? my wife sells the highest end properties available in chicago and this place left her speechless. do it.
