Photos and Description of the Lago San Pablo vacation villa rental
Casa Monica has: 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, sleeps 8

You are invited to come stay at CASA MONICA, one of 4 lovely homes located on our ranch San Juan de La Vega in San Pablo del Lago, province of Imbabura, Ecuador. This majestic hacienda (40+ hectares/100 acres) is located at the end of a long Andean valley with a stream flowing through its green pastures. Along the stream you will find pools that are perfect for taking a little swim if you dare…the water is a bit chilly; however, our nieces and nephews love this outdoor pastime.

A perfect retreat from wherever you find yourself at this moment… into a serene nature filled environment.

We have an organic garden & a free-range chicken coop! You are welcome to harvest from our garden & enjoy our fresh eggs! If you are a garden lover you are also welcome to work in our garden, which is my personal favorite pastime. For those of you who enjoy HIKING or HORSEBACK RIDING, just step outside, there are amazing views, trails & waterfalls to be discovered in the surrounding mountainside

CASA MONICA is one of 2 homes that we have available for rent. You may view CASA ANA our 2nd home available for rent on VRBO.com. http://www.vrbo.com/424116

This Ecuadorian adventure is perfect for those of you who are interested in discovering Otavalo (the largest pre-Incan market in South America), Cotacachi(known for its incredible handmade leather goods), Cuicocha (a beautiful lake in the crater of an old volcano), el Cayambe & el Imbabura (volcanic peaks with picturesque views and great hiking). These are five of the most sought after tourist attractions in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our hacienda, “San Juan de La Vega,” is located within a 20 to 30 minute drive from these tourist hotspots. San Pablo del Lago is a local weekend getaway spot for Ecuadorians interested in aquatic sports and local cuisine.

You will be staying in one of the homes on our hacienda, which we love and care for dearly. Our homes are available for those of you who are currently living in Ecuador and would like to take some time to discover this area, and also those of you who are considering moving to Ecuador and want a home-base and not a hotel as you discover the surrounding region. If you are simply looking for a great vacation you will definitely enjoy your stay with us!!! Please do come!

At our ranch, San Juan de La Vega, you will be well taken care of by one of our friendly housekeepers. Please see our rates/packages to see what all can be included! We are happy to accommodate your needs! We have a great kitchen especially if you love to cook! You can prepare your own meals or we can arrange a cook to be available!

Feel free to contact us via email or phone... we look forward to making your stay all that you would love it to be!

If you have not heard back from us within 24 hours PLEASE EMAIL US DIRECTLY at: ugaldejanine@yahoo.com

Our ranch is truly a wonderful place to stay, the fresh mountain air and a dip in our river pool will leave you feeling invigorated! I am originally from the Northern Virginia/D.C. area and have been living in Ecuador for the last 6 years. I must say if I could I would spend all of my time on our ranch; however I live in Quito with my husband, which is also a wonderful place! We generally get down to the ranch most weekends and stay in one of our other homes on the property so we are available if you need us.

Most likely you will not want to leave OUR REALITY… so you are welcome to stay! Enjoy and have a wonderful time during your stay with us!

Shepherds still walk their sheep to graze in the communal pastures... picturesque!

Come visit! We are sure that you will love this vacation experience!

Amazing place!

We have been to San Juan de la Vega twice and we absolutely loved this place. It is warm and exclusive, quiet and fun. Janine and David are wonderful hosts and really made feel at home. Our children loved every single activity there: horseback riding, playing in the fields, milking the cow, taking fresh eggs and making cheese. The natural surroundings are spectacular and there are many beautiful places we visited from there. Each one of our stay there was heaven. Highly recommended!

Amazing Adventure

Wow! We will never forget our amazing experience at the ranch or the friends we made while there. The owners, David and Janine, have fulfilled their vision of the perfect, peaceful getaway. By design, this was a fantasy land for our three children. As parents we wanted our children to experience a taste of a simpler life, but we also feared that our children (ages 9-16) would be bored without the technology they are used to. The reality was that our kids were up early every morning eager to play with all of the animals and go "exploring" as they called it. They rode the donkey, played with the rabbits, guinea pigs, baby chicks, dogs and cat. They milked the cow, collected the eggs and gathered the vegetables which we ate. They also worked and planted in the garden. Truthfully, we had trouble getting them to come inside at the end of each day.

The house itself was very charming and well-appointed while at the same time comfortable and cozy. It was also thoughtfully stocked with games, books and all of the supplies that made it feel like home. Best of all were the helpers and the owners. They were all more than happy to help us in whatever way they could and they enjoyed showing us around and giving us many different experiences. We didn’t want to leave, but we plan on staying in touch and hopefully coming back once again.

fabulosos dias de campo

Parece que la tecnología se opone a que deje mi testimonio de aquellos días maravillosos que pasamos en la Vega en la Casa Mónica!!
Fue un escape de la civilización y del estres de la ciudad a la mágica quietud del campo, en un escenario tan confortable y acogedor que nos sentimos por unos días dueños de ese lugar maravilloso. Como ya conocemos los alrededores turísticos no hicimos sino pasar en la Vega, paseos a la montaña, cruzando ríos, charcos, cosechando vegetales orgánicos, horneando galletas, viendo los animalitos, peliculas frente a una gran y enorme chimenea y TV!!! Mi familia entera, Antonia (6), Juan Simón (4) mi esposo, mi mamá y mi hermana todos cautivados por esta maravillosa estancia!! Gracias David y Janine....esperamos con ansia volver !!!!!
