Client comments and reviews

Hacienda Manteles was lovely in so many ways - the staff, the great food, very comfortable rooms, the beautiful cloud forest with walking trails, hummingbirds always at the feeders in front of the dining room windows, and great dogs for company on hikes. It was super that they have Wellies on hand in all sizes, and they were so handy for going on hikes to see the local waterfalls, and in going on other walks around the farm and area. We loved spending three nights there - it was so relaxing. We were lucky that, every afternoon we were there, there was a period of around an hour when the cloud cover lifted enough for us to get good views of the Tungurahua volcano, with white steam coming out of it. - NC (March 2011)
