Casatodosantos

A beautiful house near to the pretty river

Nothing, all was great

My friend was sick and we had an overnight bus to catch. The one room wasn't booked, so they let her sleep in the room till we had to catch our bus, at no extra charge. We really appreciated this. Location is great, with a view of a historical church from the window. Just be aware that the entrance isn't marked properly and it can be a bit confusing to find - although nothing that a phonecall can't resolve.

Soledad is the most attentive, friendly, and helpful owner/host. She was always quick to reply to questions and had helpful advice for visiting the area. Our room was large and had a nice kitchen. We also had access to a washer and dryer, which was nice for our 10-day stay. The gardens in the patio were beautiful, too! The location was absolutely perfect, close to the historic center yet away from the noise. We loved being right by the river.

Of all of the hosts/ hostesses I''ve had in traveling around the world, this hostess stands out! Maria is a lovely, amazing woman interested in insuring that you are well cared for, comfortable and happy. She has excellent response time to any issues.There are 3 rooms in the house and 3 apartments with kitchens behind the beautiful home with lovely gardens. It is situated just one block from the major river that runs through town. Central to coffee, bakeries, restaurants, parks and the old downtown.

Sole and her family were the kindest and most loving and generous people I have met. I felt I was with my own family and yet had my own space. My studio was quiet, comfortable, and spacious. The grounds are well kept and filled with beautiful plants, including some medicianl plants. I felt very safe and well taken care of. The location is perfect - within walking distance to the historical center, supermarket, restaurants and different plazas, oh and it is less than a block from the Tomebamba river along which banks one can walk and feel the freshness of the air. I highly recommend this place, so much so that I extended my stay.

Maria, the host, is extremely friendly and helpful. The suite I had was like a small apartment and had a full-size kitchen. She offers breakfast if you want to have it. It was a bonus to have access to a washer and dryer.

The location is the best in the whole entire city of Cuenca. It has central location, but secure and quiet. 15 minutes from anywhere. Fabulous. As for the breakfast, the hostess will accommodate anything. I actually could noy eat the whole breakfast, it was too much: huge plate of fresh fruit salad prepared right in front of your eyes, juice, again prepared while you eat your salad; eggs, bread, butter, coffee, tea... oh my! Fabulous!

What can I say? That was not a bed&breakfast stay, it was living in your own townhouse: separate entrance and everything you need inside your place, fridge, gas stove, microwave, all sets of dishes, etc. Very decent shower, and of course, toilet. What a wonderful bed! I am very particular about any mattress I sleep on, but the mattress on the bed was exactly what I needed for a wonderful rest. Having washing machine and, especially a DRYER 24/7 available for use cannot be underestimated. One can bring clothes for just 3 days and use it for the whole month. It's an incredible place with wonderful hostess: Maria in no time will be with you helping to find places you need to go, getting for you reservations at spas, etc., calling a taxi, etc. But you will never see her when you need quiet time and own space. I could never imagined living in such a wonderful place. I lived in several hotels in Cuenca before, but Casatodosantos exceeds all the expectations.
