What can I say - this is an amazing property - one of the most unique and wonderful that I have experienced throughout my travels. The hotel, the hallways, the rooms and the history of the place - they all come together. We travelled here with our sons (ages 12/14 at the time) - they had an amazing room where... More

We did a day trip from Quito to the Indian Market in Octavalo that included lunch. We were pleasantly surprised at the lovely grounds, view, and food service here. 3 courses were included. Several of us orderd a shrimp avocado salad that was huge and wonderful. It was a meal in itself. I tried Lorca soup which uses their yellow... More

Not to miss! This place is a piece of history and incredibly beautiful. The garden is a lush paradise complete with their own peacocks, and the view is even better. We went horseback riding through the mountains on their lovely horses, which gave us a unique view. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. they started a fire in our... More

My husband and I recently visited this Hacienda for lunch. The service was flawless and the food was superb! After lunch we toured the grounds (which are beautiful) and then were given a brief history of this amazing hotel. I cannot wait to return to both Ecuador and this enchanting Hacienda.

We stopped here for lunch on our way from the Otavalo Market back to Quito. The main building and the grounds are stunning. Our lunch was delicious and the service was impeccable. If I ever have another opportunity to go to Ecuador, I'm staying here.

We had spent the day traveling through Otavalo after leaving Quito. We were delighted with Hacienda Pensaqui, which is traditional but very comfortable. We were welcomed with courtesy and a brief history of the Hacienda where some important negotiations between Ecuador and Colombia took place over the past century. The Hacienda evidently is an equestrian farm and the owners award-winning... More

Most of the previous elaborate reviews have really nailed it! While I might have preferred to stay at Zuleta, it was quite a bit further from Otavalo and we were limited with time. Pinsaqui is historic and charming and it is a bit of an adventure staying here and a touch romantic. This is real cowboy country and we felt... More

Nice lunch - the musicians were a nice touch. Looking around the different antiques in this 300 year old hacienda gave a sense of old world charm. The rooms looked lovely and spacious. I wish I could have crawled into one of the 4 poster beds. :-) Service was good, but a bit expensive - though I expected it.

I recently had the opportunity of staying at 3 different haciendas in the highlands of Ecuador on the west slope of the Andes, NE of Quito. In chronological order, I stayed at Haciendas Zuleta, Cusin and Pinsaqui. In order of my preference for each, I rank Zuleta as the clear number 1, Pinsaqui as number 2 and Cusin as distant... More
