Hacienda La Carriona

This is one of the closest hacienda options to Quito. The rooms in this over-200-year-old farm vary widely; most have high ceilings, painted brick walls, and exposed beam ceilings. I like nos. 1 through 8, which are in the oldest part of the hacienda and have Persian rugs and antique beds and furniture. The best room is no. 36, a large suite with a big stone fireplace. It opens onto a small garden in back. The hotel has a small outdoor pool and pretty gardens. There's even a small bullring, where nonfatal bullfights are sometimes held. The hacienda can arrange golf packages, too -- one of Quito's better 18-hole courses is located just 5 minutes away, and there are two roughed-in practice holes on the hacienda's expansive grounds. La Carriona is only about 40 minutes from Quito's airport; it will be even closer to the new airport, once it's open.
