Quito Historic Center vacation rentals

Hidden oasis in Quito's old town, with kitchen outfitted with all the things you need. They even offer 3 types of coffee makers! And last but not least Claudia and Rolly the most amazing hosts of this wonderful place!! (And also owner Wolfgang) They offer a lovely breakfast, airport pick up, driver and laundry service. And will provide you with all info about Ecuador and help you plan if needed.

We loved our week in Quito. Yannik, Gina, Wolfgang and Annemarie answered all of our questions about where to go and what to see. They arranged a driver (Cristobal - 5 stars!) to take us to see places outside of the city and made sure we got back from the soccer game safely! With everything going on in Ecuador, we never felt unsafe on our trip. Thank you!

Amazing property and hosts. Check-in process was easy as the managers of the property also live within the vicinity. The hosts were super helpful and responsive. Can't stress enough how cute and cozy the property was and how comfortable we felt there. I would stay there again and recommend to others.

i have never felt so welcomed into a place as I was this property. i would 00 come back again!

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.

What a pleasure to be welcomed into a city by such gracious and knowledgeable hosts. Andi and Wolfgang have established a distinctive property. The 8 units are stylish but comfortable. We stayed in Calibri , its sitting room spacious, with a galley kitchen along one side.. The bedroom and bathroom were equally spacious, with plenty of shelf and closet space. Vases of flowers from the exquisite garden were in all rooms upon arrival. We had our morning coffee on the private patio while watching humming birds flitting around. The property is extremely quiet, yet its only a 10-15 minute walk to the central Plaza Santo Domingo. Ditto for La Ronda, with its multiple restaurants. If - when! - we comeback to Quito, we’d stay nowhere else.

From the moment we entered the property we were surrounded by warm hospitality. We stayed in one of the apts in the house. The 2two bedrm apt was spacious and recently renovated, everything needed was inthere, the apt was decorated with a great taste, and had stunning views over the Basilica. The apt is in the heart of old town, in a walking distance we were able to see famous historical sights and admire gorgeous churches. By all means I recommend staying at this property and will be planning to return there with my family during my next visit to Quito.

The listing simply does not do this property justice. First the house : Our family stayed here for one week and we enjoyed every minute of this magical house. We travel a lot and have been fortunate to stay in some very unique houses and villas — this was over the top unique and cultured. The house was beautifully renovated but the owners managed to preserve the culture. It was outfitted with amazing furniture and linens; it had famous original art works, a writers tower, a wine cellar, an outdoor courtyard, a yoga room, and so much space! The views of the city were amazing too! The service: From the local host we received a warm welcome and even a history lesson about the house and some of Ecuador’s story. She introduced us to Carmen (the caretaker) and showed us all around. The host even sat and played board games with the kids! Every morning Carmen would make a delicious breakfast and set a beautiful table. She made mid-day mint tea and nighttime tea. The house was spotless (even though our three kids were running around). The location: at first we hesitated on staying in old Quito, but I am so glad we decided to. This house is walkable to museums, churches, plazas, shopping, dining, craft fairs and parks! So much to do in the area! If you have the opportunity to stay here — do it!! Don’t hesitate!
