ABOVE AND BEYOND...!
Wantara is a little haven in the city--- unique gardens, tastefully designed apartments (they thought of everything---including really comfy down pillows and duvets), and a good location with easy access to historic Quito. But the real treasures are the hosts. Both Wolfgang and Yannick were not only hosts but instant friends looking our for us---there to help navigate the city and give us great advice about how to best spend our time. Yannick gave us his WhatsApp and more than once helped get us out of a pickle created out of naive traveler mistakes. He patiently spent half a day with us, untangling a mess...! And then told us we could contact him about any advice throughout the rest of our trip around Ecuador. Amazing! We call him Saint Yannick! I would recommend this place to anyone, and will definitely stay here if I come back to Quito.

Next-door to the Historical area in Quito!
A beautiful place to stay. In this renovated old adobe residence there are several rooms to choose from. Safe and secure. Most galleries and museums were still not open to the public, but there are many other areas to visit and explore.

A lovely apartment with a great garden in old Quito
Just a few minutes walk to central old Quito. It's hilly there and u need walking shoes but it's the best easy to get around. Wantata suites are run by Andi and Wolfgang who are just a wonderful couple. Andi is an artist and horticulturaslist wit h great talent. Truly you home while there.

A Home Away From Home
The Wantara Suite, located in the historical town of Quito, is a heaven of peace, beauty and quietness. We stayed for four nights and enjoyed every moment of our stay. The Suite Colibri was a wonderful apartment with all what is needed from kitchenware to an excellent bathroom (with a great shower!) and ample space for three persons. It was a delight to take our breakfasts in the garden while admiring colibris flying from flower to flower - and it should be noted that a nearby around-the-corner baker allowed for crispy croissants and delicious bread to be enjoyed at every breakfast. The owners, Wolfgang and Anne-Marie, are delightful and rightly proud of what they have accomplished with this old house and property. Their enthusiasm is contagious and it was lovely to talk to them, listening to their stories about how they transformed and brought back to live this remarkable place. Preparing dinners was nice as well and there were ample herbs to choose from in the garden to enhance the flavours of our dishes. The Wantara Suite is also very well located and one can reach the historical center on foot in a few minutes. The people supporting the various activities that are offered are also worth mentioning, in particular Marcelo and Christian, who will welcome you at the airport and also offer day trips to explore the scenery and landscapes around Quito. Leaving was the most difficult part of our stay, which tells a lot about how much we liked the place and how quickly we got attached to its many charms. Wantara means 'A Place with good Vibrations' in kichua and nothing describes this place better than this beautiful word.

About the host

Hosted by Wolfgang Börchers

Host profile image
Dear Guest! We are a family with German origin and live in Ecuador for many years. We have worked in the hospitality business, managing a travel agency for a couple of years. Now we run our own Wantara Suites. Our service is flawless and we can help our guests by organizing all the little treats that make travelling easier. We love to share our uniquely peaceful spaces with interesting people from all over the world. We would be happy to host you!

Why they chose this property

Fascinated by the magic of the 'Old Town' where authentic Ecuadorian traditions are still alive and can be experienced in its streets and places, we decided that this is the place we want to live. After a year of extensive search we finally found this treasure. It took us three years to carefully renovate the place. We created seven independent units cautious of not loosing the colonial charm of the property. Art objects in the lush garden and cozy living spaces gives 'Wantara' a special flair.
