Our guests say it best

"We used Sierra Alisos as our launchpad before heading into the Andes — one night here and we were already sold on Ecuador. Waking up to the volcanoes, riding horses through the hacienda's back trails, and a home-cooked dinner by the fire made it the perfect soft start to a backpacking trip."
Emma T.
"Raúl basically became our unofficial guide for the week. He drove us out to Quilotoa, told us where to go hiking on the property, and the food (grown right there on the farm) was some of the best we had in Ecuador. Ideal if you want adventure without roughing it."
Jake M.
"Came for one night, stayed for two. It's 45 minutes from Quito but feels a world away — Cotopaxi in view from the terrace, a fireplace in every room, and enough hiking, mountains and trails on-site to make it worth the extra day. Great first stop for anyone new to the country."
Medora C.
"We arrived the night before heading up to Cotopaxi. The hacienda trails, the horses, the garden food — it feels like the perfect basecamp before the mountain."
Camila R.
"What we loved most was the native forest conservation project, along with the hikes and Raúl's hospitality. An ideal place to disconnect from the city and spend time with family."
Diego A.
“Every detail felt curated — down to the books on the nightstand and the soft scent of the linens.”
Jules M.
“We planned to explore the area. Instead, we… stayed inside. Zero regrets.”
Rafael G.
“It didn’t feel like a rental. It felt like our own private retreat — even if just for a moment.”
Sofia P.
“We came here to disconnect. Somehow, we ended up reconnecting with ourselves.”
Lucas H.
“Checking out felt illegal. We were emotionally attached to the villa.”
Claire B.
