Only 25-minutes from downtown Quito and the airport , in the valley of the Chillos (Conocoto), you and your family will be able to enjoy your vacation in the capital of Ecuador. Noiseless, just the chirping of birds in a European style house full of comfort and good taste. All of its rooms have a view to the garden, a terrace shadowed by a beautiful bougainvillea for eating outdoors or having appetizers in company of hummingbirds that are drinking nectar from the many flowers. You can enjoy the view of the mountains of the Andes mountain chain..
You can stroll down the property which is totally private (4.000 square meters). A 6-minute drive will get you to the largest shopping center of Quito, full of fashionable boutiques, banks, light food, Ecuadorian traditional food restaurants, bookstores, supermarkets, cinemas, play zones, local and international phone booths, etc.
It is a great opportunity for visiting Quito. The downtown area and the north of the city are only at 25 minutes. For transportation you can hire a Rent-a-Car that we can arrange or hire the services of a local private chauffer or make use of the taxis that are not only economical but safe.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1984
My name is Vicky Frey and my professional background is in acting. A few years ago, I decided to make one of my homes available to guests. Since that time, I've been delighted to meet a number of interesting people and have had the chance to exchange ideas, practice my English and to help introduce them to the customs and culture of Ecuador. I know my country and my city well and have been able to refer my guests to fine restaurants, little-known tourist sites and markets, shopping, theater, concerts and a variety of other local and regional events, as well as to help my guests with their own planned travels and agenda. During their visit, I remain in residence in a small home close by with my daughter Pamela, and we delight in helping our guests with the information they need for a wonderful stay. We speak Spanish, German, English and Italian. Our experience has been that our visitors arrive as guests and leave as our friends. I hope you will visit us.
Why the Owner Chose Quito
Years ago we wanted to buy a property in a valley surrounded by a forest. My family and I always wished to have a special place to relax and enjoy the nature and a great weather, plenty of sunshine, where the nights are not so cold. As well, we chose this property in order to be close to the city, it is a paradise where my daughters have grown and enjoyed the sun and the pool.
The Unique Benefits of this House
It's nice to have a place that has all the modern city benefits and at the same time is a place where there is peace and opportunity for in the evening, finding oneself in the heat of the fireplace and a glass of wine.

We stayed for the first 2 weeks of December. All positive comments in all reviews apply, simple as that. Pame took such great care of us, in such a great place, that we did not want to leave. Everything was better than expected.

Very nice and well maintained home and beautiful property and garden. Even more beautiful than in the pictures. Two friendly dogs and one nice cat. Our host was very helpful to us during our stay and we recommend this location. Bus transportation into Quito is easy and cheap and this is a luxurious and relaxing place to come back to!

My husband and I stayed in 'Casa Vicky' for a month in Sept/Oct 2011. It was THE most relaxing month of my entire life. Vicky and Pamela were wonderful hosts who ensured that every aspect of our stay was pleasurable. They could not have been more helpful. The house itself was extremely comfortable and homely and Christina (the maid) kept the place immaculate and did all our laundry! A bit out of the way if you want to eat out a lot ( ie you need a car or taxi to go anywhere), but drivers are readily available and inexpensive. Highly Recommended.

Family Vacation in Conocoto Ecuador

I was so pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Vicky's vacation house. The gardens, the house and especially having Vicky there to meet our needs were truly more than special - it was a once in a life time experience. We loved the pool and the views of the mountains from the gardens couldn't be better. The house itself was very well appointed, with all necessary conveniences. The attention to detail was impressive and Vicky's helper, Cristina, was especially wonderful since she took care of our cleaning and washing expertly. Thanks for a great experience Vicky!!!

3 Weeks in Paradise!

We have had such a wonderful 3 weeks exploring Ecuador with our 2 children, ages 6 & 10. It’s hard to believe over. We couldn’t have possibly picked a better place to call home while in Ecuador; I agree 100% with all the glowing reviews already written about this fabulous home! The pictures do not do it justice, when you enter the gates you will feel like you just entered your own little “Ecuadorian Paradise”. Vicky and Pamela could not have been more friendly & gracious during our stay and their help was indispensable. Vicky took us grocery shopping, arranged rides, helped with phone calls, showed us around & even treated us all to ice cream. We used Vicky’s home as a base camp for our many trips. We first spent 5 amazing days at in the Amazon and 1 night in a fabulous riverside cabana at El Monte Lodge in Mindo, we’ve never seen so many hummingbirds in one place before and the zip-lines through the cloud forest canopy was a big hit with the kids. After Mindo, we were off to the Galapagos Islands where we spent 4 days on a 16-person catamaran exploring the islands. Since we were flexible in our schedule, going on Vicky’s helpful advice, we waited until we were in Ecuador to book our Galapagos trip; we were able to save a ton of money on a last minute deal! Our last full day we hired a wonderful guide to take us on a day trip to Cotopaxi National Park where we hiked 1km up the dormant glacier toped volcano, amazing! With all of our running around the Country, it was always such a great comfortable feeling coming back through the gates of our home-away from home to relax by the pool, play with the dogs and recharge for our next adventure. Thank you so much Vicky, we had such an amazing and unforgettable time with our children in Ecuador and I hope that whomever is reading this review, rents your house and enjoys their stay as much as we did!

We've just come in from the pool and it's hard to believe that our month at "Casa Vicky" is ending in a couple of days. Of course we are heading back to our busy life so we thought we would tell you about our stay before we head home. The first plus; we were 4 hours late getting into Quito and then a very long line at customs but our driver, Patricia was still waiting for us thankfully since it was 1:30 in the morning! We were greeted my Pamela, Vicky's daughter and after a quick tour of the house and making arrangements for a morning shopping trip we fell into bed. We used "Casa Vicky" as our home base and from there went zip lining and horseback riding in Mindo, to Banos for a soak in the hot springs, shopping in Otovalo, stepping over the equator and of course, the Galapagos Islands. We found the house very comfortable and enjoyed Quito, the pool, terrace and walks down the hill for ice cream and pastry. Vicky and Pamela were very helpful and had maps, directions and touring information available. We didn't rent a car and found Patricia, Raul and Edwin very helpful and knowledgeable. Christine made sure the house was spotless when we arrived and kept it and our laundry perfect. We were drawn to this rental because of the photos, amenities and excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. Come and explore Ecuador and make Casa Vicky your home away from home!

WOW, what a great place to spend your vacation! My wife and I just spent eight days there and were sad to leave. The listing for this home does not do it justice. It is much more. The house is well arranged and has everything you need to relax and enjoy your time there. The house is private, safe, and is on a lovely very large landscaped lawn, yet not far from the city. A big plus is Vicky, the homeowner, and her daughter Pamela. They live in another house on the property and both are very helpful if you need help with the language or want to know more about Quito and the area. They love Ecuador and we think you will too. Do yourself a favor and make this your choice for a place to stay while in Ecuador. We don’t think you will be sorry. And as Vicky says, “Come as a guest and leave as a friend”,we did.

Why pay so much to get so little when you can pay so little and get so much. This rental has it all. A comfortable house on a beautifully landscaped piece of property. A big refreshing pool and people committed to making your stay enjoyable. So much for so little. you cannot find a better bargain. I first rented this property in 2008 and have been coming back every year since and have already booked for 2 months next year. Not only the best bargain you will find but I also hike I hike through the surrounding towns and feel totally safe doing so. Do yourself a favor, rent this property. You will be glad you did. So much for so little and nowhere else have I felt so safe in a country. Ecuador may be called a third world country but this property in strictly 1st class.
