We have 5 children and they were super accommodating in all facets. We loved the history and vibe of this place. It was relaxing and peaceful. The restaurant on site is excellent and they were very helpful with our children's accommodations as well. At night they turn down your beds and leave bed warmers in them. They also come and light your fire for you if you want. Very romantic and nostalgic.....Originally we were only going to stay one or two nights but ended up staying 5 because we loved it so much! I would highly recommend! read less

The next morning we awoke to the true beauty of the place. Fresh, fragrant air from the extensive garden, the beautiful main house with its welcoming dining room staff and delicious fresh food procured from the vast onsite vegetable and fruit gardens.

Valeria and Daniella at reception were a wonder. They helped us organize our group of 10 before we arrived and throughout our stay. We took several excursions: to the Condor Park and Otavalo, we rode the well-kept horses at the on-site stables, and explored the monastery and local area on foot. Valeria even organized for a fire to be lit and coffee to be served in the cozy bar area so our large group could celebrate Christmas morning where Santa had left our gifts. It was perfect.

We were also lucky enough to be there at the same time as Nick and Barbara Millhouse, the owners. Nick acts as host, he was gracious and helpful and very entertaining, He has wonderful stories of about how he developed this property over the past 25 years. We applaud the results and we will be back. read less

The grounds were beautiful and quite large. There are many little nooks and crannies to explore and take pictures.

In the room, we had a nice fire that was lit for us in the evening as well as a hot water bottle placed in our sheets. The only negative about our room was we had no hot water. We were only there for a night, so did not complain. We would have if we were there longer.

We ate dinner in the charming dining room and the food was quite good.

There is a small town that you can easily walk to if you want to experience authentic Ecuadorian village life. read less
