Villas in Paute

It’s a beautiful house with plenty of beds. I slept in the master bedroom in the back. The house has very high ceilings. It’s surrounded by windows and it has a great shower a decent sometimes quirky Jacuzzi and the kitchen and dining area look out onto the mountains. It’s about a 10 minute ride to the main road. there’s a small the town of Chican nearby but I did not visit there. It’s quiet and I could see it being a nice place to stay with a group who wants to cook out and the patio. There’s a washing machine and dryer in the house, which is great. A small hummingbird crashed into the window and I was able to save her. I brought her to Amaru the wildlife rescue thanks to the next-door neighbor. I was able to find Luis a very good driver who took me to the reservoir and then back to cuenca and he does speak some English I gave the owner his name and number is reliable and pleasant and his prices are reasonable.

The owner and staff have done a magnificent job of restoring this 100 year old building to a wonderful condition. Much of the restoration has been completed, and I was impressed by how he/they continue improving even the smaller details. The service was excellent, the building, immaculate, and I especially enjoyed watching the clouds drift up among the surrounding hills in the early mornings.
