About this property
modern Loft in historic Villa with beautiful gardens
“Wantara Suites” is a private condo, hidden behind an adobe wall from colonial times in the Historic 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 the restored Colonial Villa, designed for a unique living experience. The modern style independent apartment is carefully restored and equipped with all amenities. A contemporary wood burning stove provides warm comfort. The private terrace overlooks the beautiful gardens. 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 relax and enjoy nature.
Suite Cusumbo is the most comfortable of our Suites. The spacious, 90m2 (970 sqft) two level apartment is located on the top floor of the colonial villa with downstairs kitchen/living room, master bedroom, dining room and bathroom; upstairs is the studio/bedroom with a double bed (140 x 190 cm) and a comfortable single sofa bed
( 105 x 195 cm ). From here you have great views of the Historical Centre of Quito and Mt. Pichincha. Fast WiFi internet access, room service once a week is included and laundry service is available at 5U$ per load.

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.
