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.
