Farm Stay

Hacienda Zuleta

Hacienda Zuleta is a 17th-century hotel situated on a working farm in the spectacular landscape of the Andean mountain range in Ecuador. Accommodation consists of beautifully decorated en-suite rooms with quaint private gardens, cosy fireplaces, expansive living spaces and stunning views of the garden and mountain.
