Leito is a traditional and beautiful hacienda on 5 acres of beautiful property full of plants and birds (watch for the hummingbirds early in the morning; they were in the front and back gardens). The main house itself has amazing ambiance with rich colours and period pieces. The decor is decidedly quirky. I couldn't believe the huge vases of fresh... More

We stayed in this wonderful hacienda for one night and loved it. It is well kept, the rooms are spacious with a lovely open fire and you get warm water bottles for the bed. There are nice gardens and flowers around the hacienda and the view from the balcony towards the volcano is just amazing. It is a fair way... More

We stayed in this hotel for one night as a part of the tour group. After spending few hours at the very charming town of Banos, we had a very long picturesque drive on unpaved road to reach this quaint hotel. This hotel was converted out of an old monastery and it has huge property. The views from this hotel... More

After one of the most beautiful drives of the holiday we drove into the impressive entrance area of this Hacienda. First impressions were very good - a beautiful hall and bar area decorated with antiques and interesting art works but there was a sense of disorgainisation concerning dinner arrangements. The room was large and the bathroom spacious. We had a... More

I had a very enjoyable lunch. A bit expensive, but the food was good. The grounds are lovely, and the service friendly. I enjoyed taking pictures of the various antiques. I had a chance to peak in some of the rooms - they seemed basic but nice.

As some other reviewers have noted, we also stayed here with the Friendly Planet tour - so we can't speak to the proximity to areas attractions (we were stuck on a bus for hours - a rant for another time). But we thought the place was very lovely! The grounds are well kept and the rooms are nice (each with... More

I've come to the conclusion that this is about what you get outside of Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. It's not the Four Seasons, so be sure to manage your expectations. It's a good point-of-departure if you're traveling between Quito and the Amazon. Baños is OK for singles but a little too crazy for families. Again, make sure you understand that... More

This hotel is in a remote location of Banos/Patate. The hotel offers amazing scenery and good service. The rooms do not have central air or heat but is equipped with fireplaces which the staff will light for you after dinner. The wood provided is limited and we founds ourselves freezing midway through the evening. The grounds are amazing and enjoyable... More

I stayed here on the Friendly Planet Exotic Ecuador tour. The hotel is quite a drive, but the views on the drive are spectacular. The decor is eclectic and I enjoyed spending time in the main building where you could access free Wi-Fi by the fire. Rooms are also equipped with fireplaces which was very cozy as well. The grounds... More
