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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great stay
I stayed here one night before heading out to Galapagos and it was a very relaxing way to deal with jet lag and prepare for th my next trip. I especially liked the trails and being able to spot the wildlife. Having stayed in Quito on my return from Galapagos, I can say that this spot out of town was quiet and relaxing and the perfect get away from the hustle and bustle.

Peaceful setting after spending several days in Quito. The meals were very good-thoughtfully prepared. We spent a pleasant afternoon with Sara driving to the middle of the earth museum. Taxi drivers to airport were prompt. Very nice setting for a group. If we ever return to Ecuador, we’d like to stay here.
