A family-run bed & breakfast in northern Quito. A eucalyptus forest out back, a volcano out front, and someone who actually knows the city at the front door.
La Uvilla is a house, not a hotel. There's no front desk and no lobby music — just a family that has hosted travellers in Quito for years and will tell you honestly which neighbourhoods are worth your afternoon and which aren't.
Eucalyptus trees and Quito's largest park start where our garden ends. You'll hear birds, not traffic.
Quito sits at 2,850 m (9,350 ft). Most people feel it on day one. Rest, drink water, skip the alcohol — and let us bring you coca tea. Day two is fine.
Mariscal Sucre is 40 minutes out and taxis overcharge new arrivals. Tell us your flight and we'll have someone waiting for you.
Exotic Ecuadorian fruit you've probably never tasted, plus real coffee. Not included in the rate — just ask and we'll add it.
All with Wi-Fi and linens. Prices are per person, per night, and do not currently include breakfast — you can add it when you book.
Our largest room. Exposed timber ceiling, private bathroom with a full tub, and windows straight onto the eucalyptus. Worth it if you're staying more than a night.

Ask for a rate with breakfastWe sit where Quito's biggest park meets the northern city. This is a residential neighbourhood — quiet, lived-in, and safe to walk in the evening, which is not true of every part of town.
Immersive escape-room experiences run from the same building. Good for groups, families and rainy afternoons.

Quito's green lung and one of the largest urban parks in South America: eucalyptus forest, running and cycling trails, viewpoints and llamas.
See more →Football matches and big concerts. Close enough that you can walk home afterwards instead of hunting a taxi.
A UNESCO World Heritage site and the best-preserved historic centre in the Americas: La Compañía, San Francisco, La Ronda and El Panecillo.
