About this property
Romantic Cottage in a beautiful garden in the Historic Center of Quito
Wantara Garden Suites” is a private condo, hidden behind an adobe wall from colonial times in the historical Centre of Quito. A manor house dating back to 1900 and several adjoining buildings give home to 8 independent apartments. Your Suite is located in one of the adjoining buildings of the manor house, designed for a unique living experience. The modern style independent apartment is carefully decorated and equipped with amenities without loosing the antique charm. A breeze from the Panecillo hill provides fresh mountain air and you sit outside, surrounded by flowers and enjoy the sunny Ecuadorian climate.
An ample common area with gazebo, hammocks and BBQ invites to interact with the other guests in our condominium.
Suite Lagarto ( 48 m2 ) is one of our two medium sized Suites of the 8 apartements. There is a living room with a comfortable sofa bed and dining table, a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom with queen size bed (160 x 190 cm) and a bathroom. The Suite also has a nice private terrace. Free WiFi internet access, room service once a week is included and laundry service is available at extra charge of 5U$ per load.

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 where we want to live. After a year of extensive search we finally found this treasure. It took us three years to carefully renovate the property. 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.
The design of the areas gives you the chance to interact with the other people in our condo, or to stay private. You can use an ample green area as well as a pergola with hammocks and a BBQ.

What makes this property unique
A breeze from the Panecillo hill provides fresh mountain air and you sit outside, surrounded by flowers and enjoy the sunny Ecuadorian climate.
