Inns in Baños

It is hard to say what we enjoyed most at the wonderful casa amarilla! We felt at home and part of the host family. Bettina is a caring and attentive host and prepares a great breakfast with freshly grinded coffee and homemade bread. Darwin cooks wonderful meals (try the gui!) and can take you to almost too adventurous tours to the surrounding cloud forest. The tranquillity of the place is superb as there is no tarred road access (the host family can arrange transport by horse or 4x4 for a small fee - ask in advance) and the casa is surrounded by a wonderful garden with animals (lamas, guis, chicken, rabbits, 3 cats, 2 dogs). The two sons of the family are very entertaining and super cute. The view over Baños is especially beautiful at night and has to be eared if you choose to hike up (ca. 15’ from town and some drops of sweat). I dont think it is too far fetched to say that the stay at the casa amarilla will be a top highlight of our trip to Ecuador.

It was overally a great stay. The staff was super nice and atentive, the room was clean and comfy and it had an amazing view. The hotel is a few blocks from the center which makes it quiet in the night. The breakfast was really good. It got me going all day climbing and hiking, untill evening when I ate my second meal. Should I return to Baños there's no other place I'd stay at.
