AN ENDLESSLY CHARMING, FAMILY-OWNED HACIENDA & FARM
An endlessly charming, family-owned hacienda and farm immersed in the countryside just 90 minutes from Guayaquil.
Whilst being within easy reach of the city, Hacienda La Danesa feels wonderfully out of the way with its 500 hectares of working farmland. A stay here is a chance to experience authentic rural life in Ecuador, and an opportunity to fill your days with river tubing, laidback hikes and horseback rides alongside buffaloes. A range of half and full day excursions are also on offer and include chocolate workshops, cloud forest tours and wildlife watching in the Churute Mangroves Ecological Reserve.
Understated luxury defines each of the cosy guestrooms with their wood-beamed ceilings and rustic stonework. Whilst in-room dining is available, meals are typically enjoyed family-style around large wooden tables in the dining room. Guests are treated to real farm-to-table cooking showcasing fresh, organic produce from the gardens, dairy and local markets.
