| Description of the Casa Andina La Casa Sol Hotel |
With its wide balconies, gardens, gorgeous windows and yard, La Casa Sol - Bed and Breakfast - offers to the international traveler a cozy lodge in this typical Andean style hostel. The colorful and warm touch of La Casa Sol makes it so unique and why we are proud to open the doors and our hearts to the public. We spent the first three years remodeling La Casa Sol, always trying to remain loyal to the art and materials of the Andean culture. Our pottery and woodworks are hand-painted by artists from Cotopaxi, while the fabrics and textiles are hand made by indigenous people from the communities of Salasaca and Otavalo.
La Casa Sol is considered part of Quitos cultural patrimony. Years ago it was a residential home in "La Mariscal," the most popular neighborhood for wealthy families. Today, Mariscal is a modern tourist center with a variety of restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries and interesting streets and parkways full of colorful arts & crafts markets. Mariscal is not only where the embassies and consulates have their offices (US, France, Japan, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, and many others), but also where you can find beautiful handcrafts, paintings, carpets tapestries and sculptures made by talented local artists. La Casa Sol is indeed the ideal place to learn about and listen to Andean Music. Typical Andean Music, with its variety of rhythms and abundant instruments, is one of the most beautiful in the world.
All of our rooms are centered around a planted inner courtyard leading into the living area and cafe. The living area has a small library and toe-toasting fireplace where you can peruse our bookshelves for the latest information about Ecuador or enjoy a game of chess and nightly fires. And our international cafe is open daily from 7 am to 9 pm. Enjoy a freshly squeezed glass of cool tropical juice or a cup of aromatic Colombian coffee. Different brews of coffee are served in our cafeteria- mild, medium and strong scented for all tastes. No doubt you will enjoy the exquisite natural juices, from exotic fruit from the Coastal Ecuador, Amazon and the Andes Mountains. Our chef, Señora Lidia Nuñez , makes a unique combination of cereal, granola and muslë; homemade marmalade and fruit compots too. Dont forget to try our wines, always ready for a cheer! We also have a TV room with cable and an area with games, cards, chess, etc.
