Having traveled the world, we have finally discovered the most beautiful, peaceful place on earth! Jose and Daniella, who manage this remarkable hacienda which is located in an area that is half jungle and half cloud forest; are a very special young couple who almost immediately became like family. Their talents are many: from being accomplished musicians, to having a vast knowledge of architecture and interior design, obvious in all the unique details of the Hacienda. They are also completely attuned to what your individual interests are and will design itineraries accordingly. For us, we went to Cotacachi, a top quality leather town; stopped for famous biscuits in Cayembe, went on a tour of the Galletti coffee plantation which culminated in experiencing delicious Galletti coffee, selected as the #1 artisinal brand in Ecuador; hiked to see beautiful butterflies, and after dinner, enjoyed sitting around a fire pit where we roasted marshmellows and at our urging , Jose and Daniella sang for us. The rooms all have breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys and are both cozy and have many up to date comforts. It was magical to be enveloped by clouds and bird song in the morning and sunlight during the day where you can see for miles around, many brilliant shades of green. There is also a beautiful pool filled with refreshing spring water; wonderful Ecuadorian meals and a full bar where sophisticated cocktails are available. Kudos to the lovely, talented chef and bar tender. The entire atmosphere is completely conducive to rest. We all slept in a way we hadn't, since Covid hit New York City. Believe me, we all felt 15 months of tension drain away. I know this sounds over the top, but Hacienda Primavera really is a Shangri-la. Do yourself a favor and stay no less that two nights. Ideally more to get the full benefit of all Hacienda Primavera has to offer. …

I spent 5 nights in the remote lodge. The staff were fantastic and the meals fresh and adjusted for my likes. I had hoped to do some birding and was not disapointed.Tanagers, toucanets, Saltators all came to eat the fruits off the trees on the property. And the property is very close to The Dracula Reserve that hosts many other flycatcher, tanagers, flower pierces and the rare white-faced nunbird!Alex was friendly, helpful and spoke great English! He made this place even more enjoyable! Wonderful place!

This Hacienda located high in the Andes Mountains makes you feel as if you are experiencing a wonderful dream. As if the dense variety of flora and fauna are not enough, the Hacienda is staffed by a small group of the most attentive, warm, hard working people on earth. You can spend your days hiking to nearby waterfalls, riding horses, or just swimming in the idyllic pool listening to the birds. The food is excellent and thoughtfully prepared. Our 17 year old Vegan received delicious specially prepared meals as did the rest of us non Vegan meat eaters. A simply wonderful place, not to be missed, and appropriate for all ages. We are determined to return.

This wonderful hacienda is about 3 hours north of quito in the beautiful cloud forest. The scenery is spectacular. The staff at the hacienda are warm welcoming and professional. Our host, Alex, couldnt do enough to make our 6 day stay amazing. We rode horses, white water rafting and hiking. The food was wonderful. This is deffinately a must do for anyone in Ecuador. Dont miss this beautiful Hacienda in a breathtaking part of Ecuador

I still feel this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. I just spent seven glorious days there in mid-February. Once again, the service goes beyond amazing - on all levels. From the wonderful meals, to the beautiful room, to the horseback riding, hiking, bird watching, the list goes on and on. The staff at the Hacienda (Alex, José and Pati) make you feel so incredibly special in all that they do for you. I will be back!

This is such a beautiful spot, with mostly unsculpted gardens around the main house. Butterflies, brightly coloured birds, hummingbirds, flowers and fruit trees are all fun to see yet calming and peaceful. In our two full days/3 nights, we ate delicious and perfectly seasoned meals, hiked to 2 different waterfalls, walked along the banks of lovely rivers/rapids, visited an orchid farm, had an Ecuadorian cooking class with the chef and relaxed in the hammock or on the porch of this lovely place. We saw the horses and the bulls as they moved through the pastures. We also got to see much of the nearby villages. There is also lots of relaxing down time when not exploring. Great wifi, and comfortable, clean rooms, All the staff were amazing, and many thanks to Alex the hotel manager, who was our tour guide and driver,and to Patti and Jose who provided great food and service and the other staff who were friendly and very helpful. We were very happy to be there, what a special and tranquil place!…

After nine days in the Galapagos, I wondered if my experience staying at Hacienda Primavera could be nearly so special. The answer is a resounding YES! No one should miss this opportunity to be in an Ecuadorean, ecological preserve with dramatic clouds descending over the valley. Chez Patti prepared the most amazing meals and Jose was so professional, smiling, and courteous as he managed the dining area. They made me feel at home. Alex, who picked me up at the airport and oversees all activities at the Hacienda, went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed all the region had to offer. He took me for drives through small towns so I could see how rural Ecuadoreans live--they all seem to know him, waving and chatting. We visited waterfalls and saw vistas with cows grazing and farmers tending crops. Alex took me to Esmeralda's orchid nursery, and I was astonished to see hundreds, perhaps thousands, of amazing and diverse orchids, many of which she found herself in forests. Don't miss that unique experience if you go. I enjoyed horseback riding with another opportunity to say hello to the local people. For me, the true highlight was the 3-hour mountain hike to see if we could spot the elusive, Cock of the Rock, Ecuador's most famous bird. It was a challenging adventure as Alex led the way, cutting through vines and thick vegetation, and our reward at the top was to admire a dozen or so of these beautiful, orange-red birds and hear their unusual calls. I highly recommend Hacienda Primavera as a destination as worthy as going to the Galapagos, and I want to thank Pepe, Alex, Patti, and Jose for providing me with memories I will cherish forever.…

We arrived at primavera in the dark following a long drive up from Cotopaxi. Our driver Alex also acted as guide, general front of house, interpreter, advisor and all round good man. He could not have been more helpful and made our stay very special. The Lodge went out of their way to sort out any questions, arranged our transfer from Cotopaxi and back to Quito. The lodge itself is magnificent, perched high in the hills surrounded by green covered mountains. Sunny mornings were followed by the clouds. Birds and butterflies everywhere. Easy hill walking alongside wonderful rushing rivers. Horse riding good too. The food was superb, hospitality first class, a truly lovely place to stay. Peaceful, verdant and well run. Thank you.

I have vowed to visit Hacienda Primavera at least once a year for the rest of my life, and to date I have accomplished that. This is an amazing place, with phenomenal staff, outstanding service and vistas unlike anywhere in the world. Everything about this visit, from start to finish, was absolutely outstanding. The quick response from owner Pepé, the pick up in Quito, the delicious meals (and cooking lessons) from Paty and José, and the service from Alex (which is hard to describe as he goes so above and beyond...). If you have the opportunity to visit Hacienda Primavera for more than one night (preferably three or more!), then do it.

It's a challenge to add anything new to what is said in other reviews. From the moment we arrived we felt as if we were home in the best sense of the word. The corner room was beautiful and as we opened the glass doors to the balcony a hummingbird greeted us. Sounds of the river, rain, frogs and insects lulled us to sleep at night. We hiked, rode horses, took cooking lessons, went bird watching, had happy hour on the porch, visited the local school, watched Pati play soccer in Gualchan, visited the high altitude paramo and more. All the activities (and the relaxing) were wonderful but it's the staff that makes Hacienda Primavera such a special place. Pati's food was delicious and I miss my daily Ecuadorian breakfast and guanabana juice. Jose is the perfect waiter and housekeeper. Giovanni led us on hikes and a horseback ride. Alex is so engaging, personable and helpful that he became like our Ecuadorian son! If you want to experience Ecuador away from the crowds and in a truly special place, just go. You won't regret it.…
