Cosy maisonette in a beautiful garden - historic ambience and modern comfort

“Wantara Garden Suites” is a private condo, hidden behind an adobe wall from colonial times in the Historical Centre of Quito. A manor house dating back to 1900 and several adjoining buildings give home to 8 independent apartments. Your Suite is located in the restored Colonial Villa, designed for a unique living experience. The modern styled independent apartment is carefully decorated and equipped with all amenities. A contemporary wood burning stove provides warm comfort. The private terrace overlooks the beautiful gardens. A breeze from the Panecillo hill provides fresh mountain air and you sit outside, surrounded by flowers and enjoy the sunny Ecuadorian climate.
An ample common area with gazebo, hammocks and BBQ invites to interact with the other guests in our condominium.
The spacious, 700 sqft two level apartment is located on the top floor of the Colonial Villa with downstairs kitchen/living room (sofa bed), dining room and bathroom; upstairs is the studio/bedroom with a queen size bed (160 x 190 cm), desk and great views of the Historical Centre of Quito and Mt. Pichincha. Estrella is also equipped with a DVD player and a huge selection of films are available.

3 1/2-stars- great place, really liked it, but noisy and couldn't stroll at night
Estrella is a beautiful oasis near the hustle and bustle of Quito. Great garden , nice digs, safe place (inside the gates), stylish. The owners are totally responsive and helpful. Would like to give it 5 stars, but there was a parking lot directly out our bedroom window with car alarms that go off until about 2 am every night. It's DIRECTLY out the window of the unit we stayed in. It isn't the owners' fault , and Quito is a loud-ish city where it is hard to get silence, but car alarms don't lend to good sleep . There was no ventilation in the bedroom, and since you can't open the window (it would be even louder), it got stuffy. I'm sure if we would have mentioned this to the owners , they would have gotten us a fan, but we didn't get around to it. The other thing we weren't thrilled with was that we were told the neighborhood isn't safe to walk around in at night. So you can feel a little trapped come dark. It actually seemed fine, with kids and families around, and we did walk back from La Ronda at night, so it's up to the traveler's comfort level. Again, this isn't the owner's fault, and it's always a good idea to caution people, but just be aware, it is not a bustling main street in the heart of Quito. (FYI on those bustling streets, which are awesome, there is still crime. I did have someone try to get into my backpack right in the heart of the city as I walked, but I had it so you could not get into it). I would not book away from Estrella, again, the garden is really a haven (birds!), and it is peaceful, but you should also know the whole of it. Luxury hotels in the heart of the city are expensive now, and this is more affordable, so it does fill a nice niche. Quito is a great city, enjoy it!

Absolutely stunning, in every way!
This sweet property was an incredible find ... and the hosts are just lovely. We've used VRBO to rent apartments across the globe, and this was one of our absolute favorites. Could not have been any better. Highly recommend this property!

Lovely Estrella in Colonial Quito
Comfortable and well equipped one bedroom suite. Separate dining room overlooking the beautiful garden was a real treat to sit in. Great view up the hill to the Virgin of Quito statue. Wolfgang and Andi were very accommodating, easygoing, and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back in the future.

We were pleased beyond our expectations! Suite Estrella was ready when we arrived at 3:30 AM. A clean suite with lovely amenities in old town walking distance to may sites.
