Carmen and Javier, our housekeepers, live in the house and will help with anything you may need. They sleep at a separate area. We ask guests to respect their privacy.
Maria is our in-house chef. She is a wonderful cook and you can ask her, once you arrive, if she can help with groceries and cooking (this is not included in the nightly charge).

A little known fact.... Gonzalo Escudero, one of Ecuador's most famous poets, grew up in this house. His poetry is beautiful, you can find some of his work in the bookshelves in the main sitting room.

    Andrés’ property is an absolute gem in the heart of Okd Town. The place is more beautiful than what’s shown in the listing. The courtyard is absolutely gorgeous. All the living rooms were beautiful with bouquets fresh flowers. Communication with Andres was easy and smooth. His staff, Carmen, Maria and Fernando were great! We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Next time I am in Quito will definitely stay here again.

    We had a wonderful stay at Casa Magica. Maria, the in-house cook, made many delicious and authentic Ecuadorian dishes including Guatita (we requested) which was unusual and excellent. Carmen was an ever attentive housekeeper, keeping the fire going in the living room on the colder nights! Wonderful spacious grounds and rooms for our family and friends to stay while visiting Quito and the surrounding area!

    Stay here!! Stay here!! Stay here!! We’ve stayed in a lot of hotels, 5 star fancy ones, but this was the first place I’ve ever been truly sad to leave! The architecture, the colors, the design… just breathtaking! Everything is spotless and smells so fresh! The flowers in the courtyard are gorgeous! Carmen, the house attendant, is gorgeous as well and so very sweet! The food they made was yummy and they had it ready promptly on time. You walk from room to room and everyone in your party continues to comment again and again just how stunning the home is! Truly, there aren’t really words to describe just how much we loved our stay here!!

    Property is an exceptional spanish hacienda in the Old City with internal courtyard. Rooms were spacious and unique. Maria and Carmen served us some wonderful Ecuadorean dinners and always a warm breakfast.Don't miss the opportunity to stay here.

    Maganificent Villa is absolutely right. This place is truly gorgeous and sumptuous throughout, an incredible introduction to Quito and easy to feel right at home. The furnishings, decor, ambience, and location are all top notch. Just as good (or better) are the people. Andres is fabulous to work with--very proactive and transparent and supportive. The cooks--Maria del Carmen and Carmen--were truly a delight. They made some of the best meals of our two-week trip in Ecuador and Peru. Fernando was also an excellent driver and guide throughout. I can't say enough positive about our stay here!

    Gorgeous property with very responsive property manager made for an excellent first visit to Quito for my group of 7! Staff arranged airport transfer and breakfasts which were very helpful. Extra perk to have filtered and bottled water readily available.

    The Villa was the beginning of our trip and an incredible way to start. Exceptionally beautiful and the staff are extremely attentive and perfect in every way. We will never stay anywhere else when we return and can’t wait to go back.
