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 ##### Michael P.

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! ##### Lauren C.

Adults had their space as did the kids. For breakfast and dinner we sat down to home cooking which was delicious. ##### Nancy F.

Oct 4, 2017 #### 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. ##### Jordan R.

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! ##### Vance H.

Dec 30, 2015 #### 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. ##### marc b.

This house is absolutely amazing!! The pictures don't do it justice. We came down as a business group of seven and stayed here for five days and had a wonderful trip. You are walking distance to many of the important sites in the old city. The caretakers were extremely accommodating and helpful. The rooms are spacious and private. I cannot say enough positive things about this house, and the caretakers. If you have the opportunity to stay here, you will not regret it. ##### Evan M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Quality Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Quality-Inn.h3127200.Hotel-Information) > > [Absolutely Beautiful Walkout Basement Apartment](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Absolutely-Beautiful-Walkout-Basement-Apartment.h38117692.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Paraíso Lindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Paraiso-Lindo-All-Inclusive.h2802482.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Rico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Puerto-Rico-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d148-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Mercure Alameda Quito](https://www.expedia.ca/Quito-Hotels-Mercure-Alameda-Quito.h11687.Hotel-Information) > > [The Larix Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kimberley-Hotels-The-Larix-Hotel.h75966676.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d6094955-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Financial District](https://www.expedia.ca/Financial-District-New-York-Hotels.0-n553248633429418894-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Rogers Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Arena-Hotels.0-l6072231-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Minneapolis - St. Paul](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d178287-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chalets Mont-Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Chalets.d55374-aaChalets.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [JW Marriott Quito](https://www.expedia.ca/Quito-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Quito.h425875.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Nelson](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelson-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6133-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ace Hotel New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-New-York.h2244255.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Florence](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Florence.h439.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Suites La Siesta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hotel-Suites-La-Siesta.h522365.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Charlottetown (YYG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yyg/hamilton-to-charlottetown) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Roatan (RTB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/rtb/winnipeg-to-roatan) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/sfo/hamilton-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Chania (CHQ) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/chq/ath/chania-to-athens) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Whitehorse (YXY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yxy/halifax-to-whitehorse) > > [Flights from Venice (VCE) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/vce/fra/venice-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/sfo/calgary-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Kansas City (MCI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/mci/buffalo-to-kansas-city) > > [Flights from Waterloo (ALO) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/alo/yul/waterloo-to-montreal) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Timmins](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Timmins.d6033788.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/88/Jamaica) ### General > [Visit Leist](https://www.expedia.ca/Leist.dx3000738390)
