I was in Quito for a couple nights on business, and had originally booked the Quito airport suites as I love that property. Turned out that the first night had accidentally been overbooked, so I was asked if I could move to a different property just a few KMs down the road, owned by the same people, so I agreed. When I arrived, checked in, saw the property and the view, I asked if I could stay for both nights!||||The property is on a side road, and securely gated. It's actually a working organic farm with llamas, sheep, a cow, chickens, geese, and fruits, veggies and herbs growing. We pulled in and went to the main house, which has 4 rooms along with the kitchen/dining area, and front desk. Across the driveway are two more rooms with more space,and a front porch to sit and enjoy the view while sipping on your morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine. ||||The Wi-Fi signal was excellent as well, which is always a concern while on business of course. ||||Breakfast is included, and made to order. Eggs, toasts with homemade jam, coffee, and freshly squeezed juice were all delicious. I had dinner the following evening, it was a huge plate, and also delicious. As it's such a small place, there were only two options for that day, you simply requested a time to eat, and the meal was ready.||||As mentioned, the hotel is not within walking distance to anywhere, but it is safe, relaxing, comfortable, and the people are very helpful. The front desk will happily call you a cab whenever you need one to explore or head back to the airport. If you want to escape and just breathe, this...
Read moreWhile relatively close to the airport, this inn is set in the countryside, surrounded by a working, organic, family operated farm.||||The main house has 4, well-appointed rooms, and there are two additional rooms in a structure on the other side of the courtyard. Each room is named after a volcano.||We were originally booked for one evening, but added an additional two as our flight home was rescheduled due to the grounding of all the Boeing Max 8s. ||||Our first room was in the main house where we spent a sleepless evening. Guests arrived late, left early, spoke loudly and the noise echoed throughout the building. Somewhat disrespectful to the other guests. We were moved to a room in the building across the courtyard and enjoyed a very restful stay. Both rooms were well appointed and very clean.||||Be advised that this inn is located in an area with very limited amenities. There are no restaurants or shops nearby; however, the owner can make arrangements for taxi pick-ups. ||||The view from the property was idyllic - it's part of a farm owned by Gabby and her family, and the setting was absolutely tranquil. The yards are a great place to simply relax, read a book, write, or simply doze off. Although I was glad that we stayed here instead of at the airport hotel, three nights was too long! ||||Dinner can be prepared by the host but only one option is available and there is no option to purchase snacks or lunch.||||The transfer to the airport is included in the price of the room...
Read moreA little off the beaten path (a stretch of rocky path leading to it) but Posada Mirolindo is set in a beautiful surrounding with clear view of the Andes.
The property, a farm with rustic cottage style lodging, has several open spaces with a pond, a swing, and even some animals (donkey, sheep, lama) as you enjoy the cool crisp morning air strolling around their garden.
There are four rooms (between two levels) in the main building sharing two common areas and a dining room on the first. The space is charming and cozy.
Two bigger rooms are a stone's throw away in a separate cottage style building that has a generous bathroom room (with a sun roof in shower) and a nook with small sofa & coffee table. TV with several channels are available for guest and wifi signal is strong.
Breakfast is provided with your stay and you will be served with freshly cooked eggs, sandwich, fruits and coffee & tea. The dining area has a clear view of the surrounding and nothing beats enjoying coffee while taking in the view of the mountains.
Domenick, the manager and owner of this place speaks English and Spanish, and is quick to respond via...
