Set far off the beaten track on 500 sugarcane-filled acres, accessible by a time worn train and an antiquated station, Hacienda La Danesa is the hidden treasure.
The quaint, six-bedroom farmhouse invites eco-conscious and sustainability-driven travellers to revel in its little piece of Ecuadorian landscape, experience the traditional life of rural farming and gain authentic insights to life in this coastal region.
Its carefully designed accommodations are set within the gardens of the property, offering a retreat-style atmosphere, timber beams and a collection of historic and classically Ecuadorean furnishings and textiles.
Still a family-run hacienda, guests can really feel the subtle traditions that ring through this countryside property. Respect for privacy is coupled with genuinely welcoming hospitality and farm-to-table dining to create a home-from-home experience. Providing a culturally-rich overnight experience that is still below the radar, it is an extraordinary pre-Galapagos accommodation.
A number of bespoke experiences have been curated by the owners of Hacienda La Danesa, including river tubing, biking, cow milking, cacao experiences, hiking and food tasting. Available in the local area (at an additional cost) are cooking workshops, beekeeping classes and horseback trips that ride through plantations and across rivers in the company of a local vaquero.
Set 90 minutes outside Guayaquil, Hacienda La Danesa is located near one of the oldest railway stations in the Ecuador Montubia coast region, between Naranjito and Bucay, in the warm embrace of the Andean Mountains.

Originally built in 1891 as a hospice, Hotel del Parque was saved from demolition in the 1980s and moved piece-by-piece to its current location in a tropical oasis within Guayaquil. Carefully and tastefully restored into a boutique hotel, the property is comprised of 44 spacious guestrooms that are decorated in a contemporary style with Ecuadorian touches. It is situated within a sprawling park and houses a renovated chapel, spa and two relaxing inner patios.
