Stay in one of the garden suites. Or stay in the adjacent monestary. The whole place is beautifully decorated with antiques and fine art. Come back to your room after dinner to find the fire set in the fireplace, the bed turned down, and hot water bottles inside. good restaurant. A $5taxi ride from the bustle of Otavalo. Lovely grounds with orchards and vegetable gardens for the restaurant, hiking trails. Horses available from the stable. Bikes also. Day tours can be arranged to go anywhere, do anything.

Our room had a fireplace which was lit every night, although it was not really very cold. The room was decorated with beautiful local and antique art. The gardens are lovely and spacious. The rate included breakfast, and we also had dinner twice in the dining room. The full meal seemed rather pricey, compared to the local restaurants, but since it is a $15 cab ride to get into town, it works out about the same. The bar rates are very reasonable for wine and beer. The front office was great about arranging for excursions and transfers. There is wi-fi in the common areas, but not in the rooms. read less

We were in the "Monastery" part. We had a fire place and candles in the rooms.
We (almost) managed to find the secret passage to the tower of the reception of the monastery 😉

We have celebrated the New Year's eve in the hotel. It was excellent: drinks and live music in the garden, magic show, nice diner, interesting speech by the owner, fire works and a lively dance floor. With this program and their behavior, the team managed to bring people who did not know each other to celebrate together. Thank you very much!

There are also stables besides the hotel. We recommend the horse riding trip in the direction of the volcano Imbabura. read less
