Traveling isn’t always such a rewarding experience. Staying at Hacienda Alegria is. Patty and Gabriel are such perfect hosts. One feels so totally at ease at this tranquil and elegant Hacienda . The friendly but unpretentious atmosphere captures one immediately. We decided to choose La Alegria to join Gabriel to a two day ride through the Cloud Forest. The first day you ride out to the premises around the Hacienda to pep up your ride abilities and of course to test if the horse and the saddle you are using are the right ones. In the afternoon you are asked to join to get to know the Hacienda, so you watch the cow milking process, you visit the mares and their ponies and you enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Food at La Alegria is delicious and Patty makes sure to look out for all your dietary requirements. The riding adventure started the next day. It was a real extraordinary experience. Gabriel and his wonderful team, including the patient and wonderful horses took us through a route where we could enjoy the espectacular scenery that started at 2800 mts over the mountains to a 3500 mts pass and then slowly descended to a totally different biosphere where giant farms, luscious plants and trees and thousands of orchids. Because humidity is high you are surrounded by a misty light fog that makes you feel like riding on clouds. This was a very special ride!

Eine Hacienda mit zugehöriger Kaffeeplantage. Wir durften eine Excursion in der Kaffeeplantage durchführen. Die Plantage wird mit 8 Personen gepflegt und gehegt, das ganze Jahr durch. Bei der Hauptlese im Februar beschäftigt der Kaffeebauer zusätzlich 12 Personen zur Handlese. In diversen Gebäuden sind die romantischen Zimmer untergebracht. Das Frühstück konnten wir im Freien geniessen, natürlich mit hauseigenem Kaffee.

I stayed here for 2 nights in the dorm room. The buildings are all built by Giovanni in a super cool style with natural materials. I really enjoyed learning about different plants being grown and the permaculture techniques used to grow them. There's a nice picnic table next to a native plant garden which attracts many wild birds (and some chickens). Excellent place to enjoy coffee in the mornings!

Beautiful Old Hacienda, exquisitely cozy , showing history, tradition and the farming lifestyle in the Andean Highlands ; revealing the different tasks of the ecuadorian Chagra. Likewise provides adequate space for acclimatization to visit their surrounding volcanoes : Cotopaxi , Ilinizas , Ruminahui , etc ...
I was there with a rather large group 28 eight people, and we enjoyed the whole experience, so much that i will go again there to stay overnight. The view , the food the facilities where very good, but besides everything service was top, excelent, 5 star service by the owners.

Escape the ordinary and leave the stress at the city. Enjoy our cozy family farm house and re connect with nature. Life among horses, hummingbirds and many species of plants. Also don't miss the change to try out grill.
The owner of this establishment went above and beyond to help us when we found ourselves with no accomodations in Nono. He and his employees were extremely helpful and kind, and the hotel was wonderful!

We picked the Inn since we wanted to visit nearby Ingapirca (15 min away by taxi at most). It is a lovely restored Hacienda in the middle of farmland, not far from Tambo and Canar. The room we had was spacious and had an old world country feeling. Paul, the chef and general caretaker, was helpful and kind. We liked the place quite a bit but strange to be the only guests for the two nights we were there. One night since we didn't arrange dinner in advance, there was no food. We found a nice alternative. It is very cold and the Inn provided space heaters but for some strange reason, the wood stoves in rooms and restaurant were not available for use. Would have been warmer and cozier if that was available.

Our farm is located in Nono, 18 kilometers (11.2 Miles) to the west of Quito, in the foothills of Mount Pichincha. San Martin offers a diverse range of adventure tourism activities as well as other countryside entertainment choices in a cozy family atmosphere. San Martin has a long dairy production tradition and is also dedicated to the raising of livestock. On the farm, all activities are outdoors and the owners take care of food and lodging, which guarantees a personalized service in a warm, familial environment, and a tasty touch of tradition.
We stayed in Hacienda San Martin for two nights. The rooms are well decorated and clean, the view is beaufiful, the owners have a innate sens of hospitality, the food is fresh and delightful. We much appreciated the activities, like horse ride and hikking as well as discovering the farm's day to day life. Thank you very much to the whole family owning Hacienda San Martin for such a great experience! Very nice memories of our trip in Ecuador.
