Casa iLayaku

I’ve only been here one night and already I’m blown away. It’s so peaceful and beautiful, yet still close to Quito and away from the city hum. I slept incredibly well, sunk into the mattress, and never stirred. The beds are a dream, with heavy, warm comforters. There are birds everywhere. I even had a full conversation with a hummingbird over coffee. Breakfast was delicious, and management was so warm and responsive. I might move here. Wow! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The chef and staff were all so friendly during our cooking class. We had an amazing time and learned a lot about making ceviche.

A great place to have an amazing time in Quito. They also offer experiences around Ecuadorian food, pasta, cocktails, and sushi. Highly recommend.

The people are what make Casa iLayaku so special. The family and staff were kind, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile, whether with recommendations, nourishing meals, warm conversation, or small touches that made me feel at home. The grounds are beautiful, with lush gardens that make you want to slow down and enjoy the natural setting. Everything feels thoughtfully cared for, and the spotless, well-appointed rooms have a simple style that adds to the calm. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a place with real warmth, care, and a deep connection to the land. This family-run retreat is a peaceful experience of genuine hospitality. If you want to unwind, reconnect with nature, and experience Ecuadorian hospitality, I can't recommend Casa ILayaku highly enough.
