53 Reviews of Property 244996 in Quito, Ecuador

The property is set in a lush exotic garden in Conocoto away from the hustle and bustle of Quito, yet close enough to visit as well as within driving proximity of other places of interest such as Papallacta and Cotopaxi. This makes the vacation home an ideal retreat as it is perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. The swimming pool is warm and inviting and the barberque large enough to cook a feast. The house itself cosy and practical.

The San Luis Mall is about 7 minutes drive making grocery shopping easy and convenient as well as access to medical attention if needed.

Vicky Frey and her daughter Pamela are both gracious hosts, speaking English, Italian and German. They provided us with a wealth of information and went beyond the duties of landladies, truely setting out to make our stay as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Martin, the dog, is an added bonus. The most sweet, loving natured dog imaginable. Our children absolutely adored him!

Für 3 Wochen waren wir im Haus von Vicky und Pamela. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und es fehlt einem an nichts. Unser kleiner Sohn (2 Jahre) hatte viel Platz zum spielen, sein eigenes Bettchen und Hochstuhl. Es ist ein sehr Kindergerechtes Haus. Vom Zentrum lagen wir mit dem Auto ca. 20 Minuten entfernt. Es gibt viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der nähe. Falls wir nochmals nach Quito zurückgehen, würden wir auf jeden fall wieder bei Vicky und Pamela wohnen. Grüsse aus der Schweiz Alexandra

Our experience in conocoto, ecuador was absolutely amazing. Definitely beyond our expectations in almost every aspect. We traveled there in mid september, and it ended up being the perfect time to go! we had wonderful weather the entire time. Our 8 days spent at Senorita Vicky's home was great. the house was beautiful, well kept, and had more amenities than we even knew were offered. We felt right at home immediately, after being welcomed by Vicky, and her pup Martin.

I highly suggest this rental home if you ever have the opportunity to visit ecuador. It is only a short drive from quito, and Vicky has a few suggested drivers, all of which were fantastic and very accomadating. All in all, we are very thankful to have found Vicky and her home. It made all the difference in our trip, and made it even more memorable.

This is our first experience with renting a home through VRBO properties and we couldn’t be more pleased. Vicky was a wonderful hostess and went out of her way to make our stay memorable. The house is ideal for families and provides all the necessary amenities to make you feel at home. Easy access to Quito’s bus service, as well as reliable van and taxi drivers allow this house to be a perfect base for sightseeing. In addition, the gardens, pool, and grounds provide a tranquil resting place after a busy day of being out and about. From the Kids – We loved the pool, hammock, pool table, the TV channels in English, and of course Martin! Our entire family recommends this property to anyone traveling to Quito.

My wife and I rented this property for the entire month of July, 2010. The property was spacious, clean, comfortable and convenient for its location very near Quito. Christina, the maid who came in three days per week to clean and do laundry, was a jewel. The gardeners who maintained the house, pool and grounds were thorough and competent. The owner, Vicky, and her daughter, Pamela,were helpful far beyond any of our expectations - in providing assistance and information, references for drivers and recommendation as to what to see and do in Quito and elsewhere. During our stay, we visited most or all of the landmarks in the new and old sections of Quito. We shopped the markets in Otovallo and Sangolqui, soaked in the thermal baths at Papallacta, stayed in a lodge in the cloudforest at Mindo (El Monte), and went up over 14,500 feet on the slopes of Cotopaxi. I was able (with Vicky's help) to play tennis regularly at the exclusive, gated Club Los Chillos country club. An added bonus: I arranged for some dental care there, which proved to be at least equal to, if not better, than the care I receive at home in the U.S., and the cost was roughly one-fifth what I might have to pay at home.
We went there as guests, and left as friends.

Our family stayed here for several days. Beautiful, spacious house that was wonderfully cozy. Extensive gardens to stroll, wonderful pool area-perfect for younger children as there is an enormous amount of area to run and play, all secured and gated in. Wi-fi was available for us to download our photos and share with our family instantly. The private drivers are THE BEST, worth every penny and then some. Without them our trip would have never been the same. Vicky is an incredibly vibrant and gracious host both helpful and inspiring with her enthusiasm of encouraging the exploration of Ecuador. The marketplace is a must(and the drivers will help you negotiate)! As is a trip to the highlands. Be sure to request Edwin as a driver and send him and Vicky our love!

Our first time in Ecuador was great. Vicky and her VRBO property made the vacation special and very comfortable. In southern Quito, the property was far enough away to be out of the hustle, bustle of the city but close enough for quick trips to Quito for dining, museums, and great cultural experiences. Vicky goes out of her way to make sure your Quito experience is everything you want. Or she can be hands off to give you as much privacy as you need. The house is on a dead end street that is very quiet and tranquil. The gardens and pool areas are beautifully maintained and spacious. Fruit trees in her gardens make for a quick Ecuadorian snack. Martine the dog became our vacation rental pet. Martine wanted me to tell everyone coming to please bring a large dog KONG toy. Kong only because anything less will be destroyed in milliseconds. Vicky and her daughter Pamela are fluent in English and thus communication is not an issue. The local bakery is a mandatory daily stop. Shopping in Otavalo and vicinity is great and makes for an exciting day trip. Grocery store is close and the kitchen has everything you need for dining in. We rented a car but driving in Quito is not for the faint of heart. Taxis can be arranged by Vicky and are cheap enough. If you want to go to Ecuador---go---stay here ---have fun. We did and we will return to Vicky's VRBO!!! Mark and Bridget, Houston Texas.

The first time you rent this property it will be for the wonderful house, lush surroundings and proximity to anything you want to see or do.
The second and subsequent times you rent this property will be for the above reasons plus the owner, Vicky, and her daughters - always helpful and never intrusive. Raul and wife Patricia - cab drivers with an obvious love of their city. Edmundo - former Peace Corp worker turned tour driver and for Martine - if you never much liked dogs this one will change your mind. We miss them all.
