Oasis in the City

A gorgeous tranquil property among the bustle of historic Quito! The managers were present and helpful, the suite clean and beautiful, and the location so convenient for walking (and eating delicious empanadas!) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very taken care of.

5 stars!

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!

Felt Just Like Home

What a lovely apartment. We felt very much at home here and could not have picked a better place to stay. How convenient to be met at the airport and transported directly to the apartment. Waking in the morning to have everything there for our breakfast worked out great. The cool evenings made for a perfect opportunity for a nice fire where we enjoyed drinks and planned our activities for the next day. Very convenient location for the historic district. Would have loved to stay longer.

just beautiful!

This was a oasis in the heart of the beautiful historic district of Quito. Short and easy walk to town, shops and food. We all felt very safe and secure in the charming courtyard collection of private residences. Would return or give this suggestion to my best friends. Thank you Andi and Wolfgang for all you did to make our stay easy and enjoyable!

Perfect spot for experiencing Quito and its surroundings

A group of us rented all but one of the units at Wantara for a recent work trip to Quito. It was perfect in every way. The spaces are beautiful. The cleaning staff keeps the units very clean. And, if you want to go on a unforgettable journey to any of the areas surrounding Quito, I highly recommend using one of the two tour guides/drivers associated with this property, Thomas and Marcelo. Our group became quite attached to them and they took small groups to different sites throughout the week (Otavalo, the cloud forest near Mindo, and to Cotopaxi and the surrounding area). This is a very special place...one we will never forget.

One of the loveliest places we've ever stayed.

Wantara Suites was completely wonderful, and we can't imagine having found anywhere more perfect to stay in Quito - we'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quito. Wolfgang and Andi made our whole visit very easy indeed, with lots of communication before we arrived, and breakfast left ready for us when we arrived late on a Friday evening. Marcelo, who picked us up from the airport, gave us a wonderfully warm welcome to Ecuador and gave us several more lifts after the initial late night pick up (he had to wait over 3 hours for us after our flight wad delayed!) and settled us into the huge apartment after our long journey. Wolfgang and Andy also went to a great deal of trouble to give us tips and advice on Quito and travelling around Quito, and the place felt like a home from home. The gardens are stunning and filled with hummingbirds, the accommodation is gorgeous, filled with beautiful wooden furniture, incredibly well-designed and spacious, and overall Wantara was a fantastic haven from the busy city. We were also really happy to be staying in the old town rather than the newer areas of town - it's so picturesque. We loved Quito, and we loved Wantara, and we'd recommend it to everyone. We only wished we could have stayed longer! Thank you, Wolfgang and Andi; we hope to see you again!
