Unique in the valley below Quito, this Hacienda allows you to decompress in comfort in a natural environment within reach of the airport. Management is attentive and the food and ambience exceptional. We plan to stay again soon.

Excellent Stay - love the birds and nature
Loved my stay here, breakfast was excellent, also had lunch and dinner here because the kitchen makes some tasty and nutritious food.
Just a note that this is a nature reserve in a hacienda, so the rooms smell woody and you can hear birds chirping in the morning, the perfect alarm clock.
The staff are really friendly, from being responsive on whatsapp to greeting you and showing me around the property, they made me feel really welcomed!
The walk around the nature reserve was also really nice, theres a great amount of biodiversity and birds to be found. Also got to feed the 2 llamas there.
Would wish for more local soups and foods to be added to the menu. For example, encebollado soup would have been perfect on cold nights, or maybe even a Hornado roast for lunch just to try everything once again when I arrive in Ecuador.

Had an amazing stay at this property! We received excellent service start to finish, the owner and staff treated us like royalty and with such kindness. Definitely will return and visit this place again next time we’re back in Ecuador.

Beautiful place to spend a night or two close to the airport. Only downside was an extortionate charge for taxi pick up and drop off: twice the price of a taxi to Quito yet only half the distance.

This property was perfect to begin my holiday. From organising them to pick me up from the airport where they were there waiting for me to the friendly demeanour of all staff. It was perfect to relax and get over jet lag with the lovely walks and beautiful site with many places to relax and experience nature whether the sun was out or raining (with lots of lovely sheltered views.

Talk about a hidden gem...
Hacienda Jimenita has fabulous rooms and grounds with a 5000 year old tunnel. The vegetation, forest and canyon are wonderful. Meals ate excellent and well-priced, and Oscar makes a great martini. The staff is very welcoming.

Beautiful facility, but lack of heat in room
We loved the room and the stunning property. However, the wood fire heater in our room did not work, and after requesting help with it from four different staff members, no one could resolve the issue. The room did not have heating as a result and was very very cold. On our second night we were provided with a fairly functioning electric space heater that only had a low setting (high wasn't working) and did little to help. Would encourage other visitors to double check on heating if staying during colder climates.

We enjoyed our short stay at Hacienda Jimenita prior to traveling to the Galapagos last month. The staff was kind and accommodating and the grounds are beautiful. It was great to be in nature and hike around the property prior to flying further. Our room was adequate and had everything that we needed for our brief stay. It was the perfect start to our time in Ecuador. We enjoyed the convenient location - less than 20 minutes from the airport as well.

Property is perfect - service not so
Beautiful property set next to an impressive canyon in excellent location close to the airport.
Restaurant is very disappointing both in terms of service and food quality.

Couples Vacation
This is our second time staying at this place. We enjoyed both visits very much. The place is a nature reserve with an abundance and different type of hummingbirds, Llamas and horses. The owner has two adorable and friendly dogs. The property also has hiking trails with beautiful forest plants and flowers. Rooms are clean and comfortable with a private bathroom. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with whatever you ask. They have a restaurant with an excellent chef. We never had any problems with their water or food.
We definitely will stay there again❣️

The property was amazing and very beautiful. It is a very cool place. However, the restaurant is incredibly expensive. It was more expensive than anything else in Ecuador we went to and much more expensive than even similar things in the USA.

This property has lovely old world charm. The owners take great pride in this piece of family history. We loved sitting on the veranda with the gorgeous hummingbirds buzzing around. We enjoyed sitting by the fire, both in the Hacienda and our room. The staff was wonderful and Daniel arranged a fantastic nature day tour to go bird watching. (We arrived during protests in Quito, so visiting the city was not advisable). We highly recommended Hacienda la Jimenita.
