Our time in rumiloma proved to be one of quito's highlights.
Amasing food, service and stunning views!
The is a special something that lies in rumiloma. I would recommend it to everyone!

Was in Quito for business for a few days and some friends took me to Hacienda Rumiloma for dinner. It's an adventure getting up to Rumiloma as it is way above Quito on the side of the Volcano Pichincha on a steep dirt road but that is part of the fun. We arrived right before dark so were able to see the view both in the daylight and in the dark and it is spectacular. Quito is about 10,000 ft above sea level and Rumilona must be about another 1,500 ft higher as we were above the clouds. The restaurant had a very warm and cozy feel to it. Service was excellent and the food even better. They brought us an amuse bouche and we shared an artichoke appetizer. Everyone loved their main course; mine was the surf and turf which consisted of langostino and filet mignon. We shared dessert which was 3 petite creme brulees with different flavor. This place is so charming and the food so good that I look forward to visiting it again on my trip to Quito.

If you want a quite place, pinned against the mountains with stunning views of Quito stay or at least have dinner at hacienda Rumiloma. We stayed at various hotels in Quito and Rumiloma is way better than any other place. It is close to the airport ( 15 minutes), the telepherico and the old town but you feel you are away from it all. The views are spectacular both during the day and at night. There is a warm and wonderful atmosphere in this rustic but extremely comfortable place which is privately owned and run by the Laree family. The rooms are large and well decorated with antiques picked by the owner, an enthusiastic and great Irish woman, Amber, married to an Ecuadorian mountain climber. Amber and her staff go out of their way to be helpful from nice fire wood places lit in the room, hot water bottles, recommendations about what to do in Quito and beyond to special attentions like bringing oregano tea when they noticed I had stomach issues. We loved that Amber was more than willing to share her knowledge of Ecuadorian history, culture and wildlife with us. Amber and her mother in law treated us to some of the best food in Ecuador for lunch and dinner; breakfast too was delicious with plenty of food from fresh juices and fruit salad to a special tortilla prepared specially for my son.
Rumiloma is perfect whether to relax, as a stop over, as a starting place for exploring Quito or a wonderful dinner experience.

We are family that travels extensively and we´ve stayed in some amazing places. that being said , my kids keep asking me when we will be able to go back to Hacienda Rumiloma... I understand why.

We visited Rumiloma while exploring Ecuador , before embarking on the Celebrity Xpedition to Galapagos.

This beautiful place is perched above Quito . It has everything. Gorgeous decor , delicious food , impeccable service. Amber , the owner , is an interior designer and it shows. Every little detail has obviously been thought out with care and love.

Our family stayed in the Valentina Suite. I loved the wood , the antiques , the copper in the bathrooms. The beds were made up with Ecuadorian woven blankets and the toiletries were heavenly. The only drawback was it was a bit dark at night.

The restaurant serves exquisite local fare with international flare. The price is not Ecuadorian , but it is well worth it. I still can´t stop thinking the desserts including the most amazing cheesecake.

Our breakfasts were served in the restaurant- fresh fruits , banana cheese pancakes (yum!), made to order eggs . One of the highlights. A half an hour before breakfast coffee and hot chocolate were served in our room with a pre-breakfast treat. In the afternoon , fresh cookies awaited us.

The staff made kites with our children. They did everything to accomodate us and were so kind to our family. I am so glad we found this place. I highly recommend it!
