About this house rental
Stay in one of Quito's most remarkable private homes - a beautifully restored early 19th century villa in the heart of Quito's historic centre.
Reserved exclusively for your group, Casa Magica combines the character and grandeur of a historic residence with exceptional comfort, privacy, and personal service. The house accommodates up to 14 guests across five individually designed bedrooms, making it ideal for families, multigenerational gatherings, and groups of friends traveling together.
Step through the doors into a world of elegant reception rooms, fireplaces, balconies, a library, a wine cellar, exceptional art, and a flower-filled courtyard centred around its fountain. Despite its remarkable tranquility, the villa is only a short walk from Quito's principal historic landmarks, including Plaza de San Francisco and Independence Square.
Our resident housekeepers, Carmen and Javier, look after the property and are available to assist during your stay. Maria del Carmen, our wonderful in-house cook, can prepare authentic Ecuadorian meals and accommodate dietary preferences with advance notice. Fernando can provide airport transfers and private driving around Quito. Cooking, groceries, driving, and laundry services are optional and charged separately.

Gonzalo Escudero, one of Ecuador's most celebrated poets, grew up in this house. Guests can discover some of his work among the books in the main sitting room.
No large events are permitted at the house without prior owner consent. The maximum capacity is 14 people. Please let us know if at any time there are more than 14 guests in the property.
The house has several areas (stairs, lofts, and balconies) which could be dangerous for small children and we encourage parents to keep an eye on them at all times.

One of the best stays I’ve ever had. The house is pictured exactly and actually better in real life! Loved having Maria Carmen and Carmen cooking up traditional Ecuadorian dishes. Legit the best.

Andrés’ property is an absolute gem in the heart of Okd Town. The place is more beautiful than what’s shown in the listing. The courtyard is absolutely gorgeous. All the living rooms were beautiful with bouquets fresh flowers. Communication with Andres was easy and smooth. His staff, Carmen, Maria and Fernando were great! We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Next time I am in Quito will definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Magica. Maria, the in-house cook, made many delicious and authentic Ecuadorian dishes including Guatita (we requested) which was unusual and excellent. Carmen was an ever attentive housekeeper, keeping the fire going in the living room on the colder nights! Wonderful spacious grounds and rooms for our family and friends to stay while visiting Quito and the surrounding area!

Andres, Carmen and the whole staff of the house were friendly and welcoming. We always felt safe and great coming back to the Villa to rest after a long day of activities.
