5 stars!

We loved our week in Quito. Yannik, Gina, Wolfgang and Annemarie answered all of our questions about where to go and what to see. They arranged a driver (Cristobal - 5 stars!) to take us to see places outside of the city and made sure we got back from the soccer game safely! With everything going on in Ecuador, we never felt unsafe on our trip. Thank you!

Oasis in the City

A gorgeous tranquil property among the bustle of historic Quito! The managers were present and helpful, the suite clean and beautiful, and the location so convenient for walking (and eating delicious empanadas!) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very taken care of.

Felt Just Like Home

What a lovely apartment. We felt very much at home here and could not have picked a better place to stay. How convenient to be met at the airport and transported directly to the apartment. Waking in the morning to have everything there for our breakfast worked out great. The cool evenings made for a perfect opportunity for a nice fire where we enjoyed drinks and planned our activities for the next day. Very convenient location for the historic district. Would have loved to stay longer.

just beautiful!

This was a oasis in the heart of the beautiful historic district of Quito. Short and easy walk to town, shops and food. We all felt very safe and secure in the charming courtyard collection of private residences. Would return or give this suggestion to my best friends. Thank you Andi and Wolfgang for all you did to make our stay easy and enjoyable!

Why they chose this property

Fascinated by the magic of the 'Old Town' where authentic Ecuadorian traditions are still alive, we decided that this is where we want to live. After a year of extensive search we finally found this treasure. Our project was selected to participate in the BIENALE IBEROAMERICANA DE ARQUITECTURA, for its careful restauration.
Within the 15.000 sqft of the old historical villa with its gardens we created eight independent units cautious of not loosing the colonial charm but adding all the contemporary comforts. Art objects in the lush garden and cozy living spaces gives 'Wantara' a very special flair. A breeze from the Panecillo hill provides fresh mountain air and you sit outside, surrounded by flowers and enjoy the sunny Ecuadorian climate.
